Abstract: Nationwide adoption of the model FDA Food Code is an important step toward the agency's goal for consistent, scientifically sound, and risk-based food safety standards and practices. A current, comprehensive, and accurate inventory of food code adoptions by States and U.S. territories, local, and tribal governments is necessary to determine the status of up-to-date protection of the U.S. population and to identify areas where assistance to these governments may promote the adoption of regulations based on the FDA Food Code. FDA has contracted with Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) to contact local, state and tribal officials to obtain information about the status of Food Code adoptions in their respective jurisdictions. Telephonic and electronic means have been used since 2001 when the project began using the OMB approved information collection form. AFDO compiles this information in an active data base and produces quarterly reports on the nationwide progress towards adoptions of the Code. Results are posted on the FDA web site (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov) and are updated quarterly as new information is gathered by AFDO. The information is used by FDA to track the adoptions of local, state and tribal codes/regulations patterned after the FDA Food Code.

Short Statement: The total annual hour burden has decreased from 600 hours to 300 hours. This decrease is due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents. Also, please note that although the information collection questionnaire has increased from five questions to seven questions, FDA has not changed its estimate of the hours per response. FDA estimates that it will still take the respondent one hour or less to respond to the seven questions.
