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.
Certification of Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy
Act Requests
OMB Control Number 0910-0832--Extension
This information collection supports Form FDA 3975 entitled
``Certification of Identity,'' which is used by FDA to identify an
individual requesting a particular record under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The form is available on
our website (<a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/107210/download">https://www.fda.gov/media/107210/download</a>); although if an
individual requests one, we will send it by mail or email. The form is
required only if an individual makes a FOIA request or Privacy Act
request for their own records but has not provided sufficient assurance
of identity in the incoming request.
The FOIA grants the public a right to access Federal records not
normally prepared for public distribution. The Privacy Act grants a
right of access to members of the public who seek access to one's own
records that are maintained in an Agency's system of records (i.e., the
records are retrieved by that individual's name or other personal
identifier). The statutes overlap, and individuals who request their
own records are processed under both statutes. The Agency may need to
confirm that the individual making the FOIA or Privacy Act request is
indeed the same person named in the Agency records. Respondents to the
information collection are asked for certain information including
name, citizenship status, social security number, address, date of
birth, place of birth, signature, and date of signature.
In the Federal Register of November 7, 2022 (87 FR 67040), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
We have adjusted our burden estimate to reflect actual submissions,
which results in a decrease to the currently approved burden.
