SF 83 SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM) ( Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection 1( a) Title of the Information Collection NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM) ( Renewal).

1( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP), for chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM were proposed on April 15, 1998, and promulgated on January 12, 2001. These regulations apply to existing and new chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants ( HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP; or where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is being collected to ensure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM.

In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP standards.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these documents, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such notifications, reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) regional office.

Approximately 130 sources are currently subject to the standard, and it is estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the regulation in the next three years. 2 The active ( previous) Information Collection Request ( ICR) had the following Terms of Clearance ( TOC):

This ICR is approved for three years. Before submitting a renewal ICR, EPA should review the burden of this collection and the other collections associated with NESHAPs for pulp and paper manufacturing facilities in light of its experience implementing these rules to determine whether burden can be reduced by further consolidation or elimination of reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

EPA has addressed each item of concern in the TOC by reviewing the burden of this collection and the other collections associated with NESHAPs for pulp and paper manufacturing facilities in light of its experience implementing these rules to determine whether burden can be reduced by further consolidation or elimination of reporting and recordkeeping requirements. EPA determined that the information collected is the minimum necessary to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, and burden cannot be reduced by further consolidation or elimination of reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, Section 114( a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:

( A) Establish and maintain such records; ( B) make such reports; ( C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; ( D) sample such emissions ( in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); ( E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; ( F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114( a)( 3); and ( G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, acetaldehyde, benzene, formaldehyde, hydrochloric acid ( HCl), methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and toluene hazardous air pollutant ( HAP) emissions from 3 chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP for this source category were promulgated at 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data The control of emissions of HAP from chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of HAP from chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills are the result of operation of the affected mills. These standards rely on the capture and/ or reduction of HAP emissions by recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks ( SDTs), lime kilns, or soda or sulfite combustion units. Required notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and the regulations are being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the NESHAP continue to operate the control equipment in compliance with the regulation. Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are necessary to ensure compliance on an on going basis with these standards, as required by the Clean Air Act. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements also is used for targeting inspections, and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The recordkeeping and reporting requested is required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM.

3( a) Nonduplication If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. 4 3( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to Office of Management and Budget ( OMB)

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register on May 25, 2004, ( 69 FR 29718). No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3( c) Consultations EPA consulted Timothy Hunt of the American Forest and Paper Association ( 202 463 2588) to obtain information on the industry and associated burden for this ICR. EPA also consulted its Air Facility System ( AFS) as well its Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards ( OAQPS) to identify sources subject to the standard.

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the required standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and noncompliance would decrease.

3( e) General Guidelines None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR 1320.5.

These standards require affected facilities to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. Also, the retention of records for five years would allow EPA to establish the compliance history of a source and any pattern of compliance for purposes of determining the appropriate level of enforcement action. Historically, EPA has found that the most flagrant violators frequently have violations extending beyond the five years. EPA would be prevented from pursuing the worst violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of records if records were retained for less than five years.

3( f) Confidentiality Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, 5 September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3( g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners or operators of chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand alone semichemical pulp mills.

Electronic Reporting Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way, e. g., inlet and outlet concentrations when determining percent efficiency. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. In addition, some regulatory agencies are setting up electronic reporting systems to allow sources to report electronically which is reducing the reporting burden. However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used by the regulatory agencies. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the respondents use electronic reporting.

ii. Respondent Activities Respondent Activities Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate compliance monitoring system ( CMS) for opacity, or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for wet scrubber.

Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 17, 25A, 29, or 308 as applicable, and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Write the notifications and reports listed above.

Enter information required to be recorded above.

Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. 8 Respondent Activities Adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements.

Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. 9 5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5( a) Agency Activities EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

Agency Activities Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, excess emissions reports, startup, shutdown, malfunction plan, and quality control plan for CMS required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System ( AFS).

5( b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. AFS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for over 100,000 industrial and government owned facilities. EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five years.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility The recordkeeping and reporting requirements were selected within the context of this specific Subpart and the specific process equipment and pollutant. The requirements reflect the 10 burden on small businesses. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. Although the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for small and larger businesses, the Agency considers these requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small businesses.

5( d) Collection Schedule The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Table 1a: One Time Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM) and Table 1b: Recurrent Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM).

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection Table 1a and 1b document the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. To minimize burden, much of the information the EPA would need to determine compliance would be recorded and retained onsite at the facility. Such information would be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and would not need to be routinely reported to the EPA. In addition, in many cases the EPA has selected parameters for monitoring that are already monitored by the industry for other purposes. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.

The Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 150,043 hours ( Total Labor Hours calculated from Tables 1a and 1b as follows).

Annual burden to industry Total burden, hours Total costs, $

Table 1a 2,279 116,671 Table 1b 147,764 7,563,627 11 Total 150,043 7,680,298 These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the standards or test methods, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Estimating Labor Costs This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial $ 95.32 ($ 45.39 + 110%) Technical $ 64.60 ($ 30.76 + 110%) Clerical $ 40.09 ($ 19.09 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2003, " Table 10. Private industry, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, " Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

( ii) Estimating Capital/ Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs The types of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard( s) are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/ startup costs are one time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor( s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

( iii) Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs ( A) Continuous Monitoring Device ( B) Capital/ Startu p Cost for One Respondent ( C) Number of New Respondents ( D) Total Capital/ Startu p Cost, ( B X C) ( E) Annual O& M Costs for One Respondent ( F) Number of Respondents with O& M ( G) Total O& M, ( E X F)

The total capital/ startup costs for this ICR are $ 123,000. This is the total of column D in the above table. These costs are shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( a), Total annualized capital/ startup costs.

The total operation and maintenance ( O& M) costs for this ICR are $ 864,000. This is the total of column G. These costs are shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( b), Total annual costs ( O& M).

The total respondent costs in block 14 have been calculated as the addition of the capital/ startup costs, and the annual operation and maintenance costs. The average annual cost for capital/ startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 987,000. This cost is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( c), Total annualized cost requested. The numbers in block 14 of the OMB 83 I form are rounded to show the cost in thousands of dollars.

6( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 53,097.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial $ 54.66 ( GS 13, Step 5, $ 34.16 x 1.6) Technical $ 40.56 ( GS 12, Step 1, $ 25.35 x 1.6) Clerical $ 21.95 ( GS 6, Step 3, $ 13.72 x 1.6)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) " 2004 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM), below.

6( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs 13 Based on our research for this ICR, approximately 130 existing sources are currently subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional zero sources per year will become subject to the standard in the next three years.

Number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents Respondents That Submit Reports Respondents That Do Not Submit Any Reports Year ( A) Number of New Respondents 1 ( B) Number of Existing Respondents ( C) Number of Existing Respondents that keep records but do not submit reports ( D) Number of Existing Respondents That Are Also New Respondents ( E) Number of Respondents ( E= A+ B+ C D)

To avoid double counting respondents, column D is subtracted. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is 130. This number appears on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( a), Number of respondents.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table:

This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( b), Total annual responses.

The Total Hours Requested is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( c). The total annual labor costs are $ 7,680,298. The annual labor costs are not shown on the OMB 83 I form. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1a: One Time Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM) and Table 1b: Recurrent Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM).

The total annual capital/ startup and O& M costs to the regulated entities are $ 987,000. This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( c), Total annualized cost requested. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6( b)( iii), Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs.

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 1,037 labor hours at a cost of $ 53,097. See Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM), below.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1a and 1b, and 2, respectively, and summarized below.

( i) Respondent Tally The Total Hours Requested is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( c). The total annual labor costs are $ 7,680,298. The annual labor costs are not shown on the OMB 83 I form. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1a: One Time Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM) and Table 1b: 15 Recurrent Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM). Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 475 hours per response.

The total annual capital/ startup and O& M costs to the regulated entity are $ 987,000. This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( c), Total annualized cost requested. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6( b)( iii), Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs.

( ii) The Agency Tally The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 1,037 labor hours at a cost of $ 53,097. See Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MM), below.

6( f) Reasons for Change in Burden The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources, as well as correction of a calculation error that applied recurring burden to only those facilities installing new equipment, when in actuality recurring burden is incurred by all facilities subject to the NESHAP. As recalculated, recurring burden is the overall annual facility burden for NESHAP compliance ( Table 1b). This is contrasted with the one time burden incurred by the facility for the installation of new control equipment ( Table 1a). Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs have also been revised to include both capital/ startup and operation and maintenance ( O& M) costs that were omitted from the previous ICR. The costs now include continuous opacity monitoring systems ( COMS) that were not previously required for compliance with the New Source Performance Standards ( NSPS) for Kraft Pulp Mills ( 40 CFR Subpart BB).

6( g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 475 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 16 train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Temporary Policy Regarding Preventive Controls and FSVP Food
Supplier Verification Onsite Audit Requirements During the COVID-19
Public Health Emergency.'' We are issuing this guidance consistent with
our good guidance practices regulation (Sec.  10.115). In accordance
with Sec.  10.115(g)(2), we are implementing the guidance immediately
because we have determined that prior public participation is not
feasible or appropriate. Although the guidance document is immediately
in effect, FDA will accept comments at any time. The guidance
represents the current thinking of FDA on this topic. It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
    This guidance document concerns certain supplier verification
requirements contained in three of the seven foundational regulations
that we have established in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) as part of our implementation of the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act (Pub. L. 111-353). The three final regulations are
entitled ``Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and
Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food'' (part 117 (21 CFR part
117)) (https://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/fsma/ucm334115.htm);
``Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based
Preventive Controls for Food for Animals'' (part 507 (21 CFR part 507))
(https://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/fsma/ucm366510.htm); and
``Foreign Supplier Verification Programs for Importers of Food for
Humans and Animals'' (part 1, subpart L (21 CFR part 1, subpart L))
(https://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/fsma/ucm361902.htm). In
brief, each of these regulations requires a supply-chain or supplier
verification program in certain circumstances when a supplier is
controlling a hazard. In addition, each of these regulations provides
for onsite audits of suppliers under certain circumstances to verify
that the hazard is being controlled.
    The purpose of the guidance is to state the current intent of FDA,
in certain circumstances related to the impact of the coronavirus, not
to enforce requirements in the three regulations to conduct onsite
audits of food suppliers when other supplier verification methods are
used to provide sufficient assurance that hazards have been
significantly minimized or prevented, during the period of onsite audit
delay.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved FDA collections of
information. These collections of information are subject to review by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521). The collections of information in
part 117 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0751. The
collections of information in part 507 have been approved under OMB
control number 0910-0789. The collections of information in part 1,
subpart L have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0752.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at
either https://www.fda.gov/FoodGuidances or https://www.regulations.gov. Use the FDA website listed in the previous
sentence to find the most current version of the guidance.
