SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.
Regulations Under the Federal Import Milk Act (FIMA) Part 1210 (21 CFR Part 1210) (OMB Control Number 0910-0212)--Extension
FIMA (21 U.S.C. 141-149) provides that milk or cream may be imported into the United States only by the holder of a valid import milk permit. Before such permit is issued: (1) All cows from which import milk or cream is produced must be physically examined and found healthy; (2) if the milk or cream is imported raw, all such cows must pass a tuberculin test; (3) the dairy farm and each plant in which the milk or cream is processed or handled must be inspected and found to meet certain sanitary requirements; (4) bacterial counts of the milk at the time of importation must not exceed specified limits; and (5) the temperature of the milk or cream at time of importation must not exceed 50 deg.F. The regulations in Sec. 1210.15 require that dairy farmers and plants maintain pasteurization records. The regulations in Sec. 1210.22 require that each container of milk or cream imported into the United States bear a tag with the product type, permit number, and shipper's name and address.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:

These estimates are based on the number of current permit holders and the number of inquiries that FDA has received regarding requests for applications in the next 3 years.
No burden has been estimated for the tagging requirement in Sec. 1210.22 because the information on the tag is either supplied by FDA (permit number) or is disclosed to third parties as a usual and customary part of the shipper's normal business activities (type of product and shipper's name and address). Under 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2), the public disclosure of information originally supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public is not a collection of information. Under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), the time, effort, and financial resources necessary to comply with a collection of information are excluded from the burden estimate if the reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure activities needed to comply are usual and customary because they would occur in the normal course of activities. The Secretary of Health and Human Services has the discretion to allow Form FDA 1815, a duly certified statement signed by an accredited official of a foreign government, to be submitted in lieu of Forms FDA 1994 and 1995.
