This information collection supports implementation of FDA's Animal Feed and Egg Regulatory Standards Programs. Respondents to the information collection are State agencies that conduct feed or egg inspections and want to participate in implementing the standards.
This information collection request reflects a program change revision. The total estimated burden of this collection has increased by 5,000 burden hours, from 19,346 to 24,346 burden hours.
Based on our experience with similar information collection, we estimate an initial 10 respondents will participate in the Egg Regulatory Program Standards (ERPS), and assume an average of 50 burden hours per response is necessary for the attendant recordkeeping and submission of data elements to FDA. We expect participation in the ERPS to increase. Finally, upon submission of the Information Collection Request, we are correcting an inadvertent calculation error in the total burden hours as displayed on page 26530, in Table 1, in our 60-day notice in the Federal Register of May 14, 2021 (86 FR 26528).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
