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.

State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption

OMB Control Number 0910-0277--Extension

    This information collection supports FDA regulations. Under section 
403A(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 
U.S.C. 343-1(b)), States may petition FDA for exemption from Federal 
preemption of State food labeling and standard-of-identity 
requirements. Section 100.1(c) (21 CFR 100.1(c)) provides prerequisites 
a petition must satisfy for an exemption from preemption. Section 
100.1(d) sets forth the information a State is required to submit in 
such a petition. The petition must be submitted to the Dockets 
Management Staff. The information required under Sec.  100.1 enables 
FDA to determine whether the State food labeling or standard-of-
identity requirement satisfies the criteria of section 403A(b) of the 
FD&C Act for granting exemption from Federal preemption.
    In the Federal Register of July 31, 2023 (88 FR 49469), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although one comment was received, it was 
not responsive to the four information collection topics solicited.
    Description of Respondents: The respondents to this collection of 
information are State and local governments who regulate food labeling 
and standards-of-identity.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

                      21 CFR section; activity                          Number of      responses per     Total annual   Average  burden    Total hours
                                                                       respondents       respondent       responses      per  response

100.1; petition for exemption from preemption......................               1                1                1               40               40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The reporting burden for Sec.  100.1 is minimal because petitions 
for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by States. In the 
next 3 years, we estimate that one or fewer petitions will be submitted 
annually.
    Based on a review of the information collection since our last 
request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden 
estimate.

    Dated: November 24, 2023.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
