Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0623]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice invites comments on the collection of information
associated with our Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP).

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by April 7, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400B, Rockville,
MD 20850<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program--21 CFR Parts 710 and 720 (OMB
Control Number 0910-0027)--Extension

    The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) provides us
with the authority to regulate cosmetic products in the United States.
Cosmetic products that are adulterated under section 601 of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 361) or misbranded under section 602 of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 362) may not be distributed in interstate commerce. We have
developed the VCRP to assist us in carrying out our responsibility to
regulate cosmetics.
    In 21 CFR part 710, we request that establishments that manufacture
or package cosmetic products register with us on Form FDA 2511 entitled
``Registration of Cosmetic Product Establishment.'' The term ``Form FDA
2511'' refers to both the paper and electronic versions of the form.
The electronic version of Form FDA 2511 is available on our VCRP Web
site at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/VoluntaryCosmeticsRegistrationProgramVCRP/OnlineRegistration/default.htm. We strongly encourage electronic registration of Form FDA
2511 because it is faster and more convenient. A registering facility
will receive confirmation of electronic registration, including a
registration number, by email, usually within 7 business days. The
online system also

allows for amendments to past submissions.
    Because registration of cosmetic product establishments is not
mandatory, voluntary registration provides us with the best information
available about the locations, business trade names, and types of
activity (manufacturing or packaging) of cosmetic product
establishments. We place the registration information in a computer
database and use the information to generate mailing lists for
distributing regulatory information and for inviting firms to
participate in workshops on topics in which they may be interested. We
also use the information for estimating the size of the cosmetic
industry and for conducting onsite establishment inspections.
Registration is permanent, although we request that respondents submit
an amended Form FDA 2511 if any of the originally submitted information
changes.
    In part 720 (21 CFR part 720), we request that firms that
manufacture, pack, or distribute cosmetics file with us an ingredient
statement for each of their products. Ingredient statements for new
submissions (Sec. Sec.  720.1 through 720.4) are reported on Form FDA
2512, ``Cosmetic Product Ingredient Statement,'' and on Form FDA 2512a,
a continuation form. Amendments to product formulations (Sec.  720.6)
also are reported on Forms FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. When a firm
discontinues the commercial distribution of a cosmetic, we request that
the firm file Form FDA 2514, ``Notice of Discontinuance of Commercial
Distribution of Cosmetic Product Formulation'' (Sec. Sec.  720.3 and
720.6). If any of the information submitted on or with these forms is
confidential, the firm may submit a request for confidentiality under
Sec.  720.8.
    FDA's online filing system is available on FDA's VCRP Web site at
http://wcms.fda.gov/FDAgov/Cosmetics/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/VoluntaryCosmeticsRegistrationProgramVCRP/OnlineRegistration/default.htm. The online filing system contains the electronic versions
of Forms FDA 2512, 2512a, and 2514, which are collectively found within
the electronic version of Form FDA 2512.
    We place cosmetic product filing information in a computer database
and use the information for evaluation of cosmetic products currently
on the market. Because filing of cosmetic product formulations is not
mandatory, voluntary filings provide us with the best information
available about cosmetic product ingredients and their frequency of
use, businesses engaged in the manufacture and distribution of
cosmetics, and approximate rates of product discontinuance and formula
modifications. The information assists our scientists in evaluating
reports of alleged injuries and adverse reactions from the use of
cosmetics. We also use the information in defining and planning
analytical and toxicological studies pertaining to cosmetics.
    Information from the database is releasable to the public under our
compliance with the Freedom of Information Act. We share
nonconfidential information from our files on cosmetics with consumers,
medical professionals, and industry.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
\2\ The term ``Form FDA 2511'' refers to both the paper Form FDA 2511 and electronic Form FDA 2511 in the electronic system known as the Voluntary
  Cosmetic Registration Program, which is available at http://wcms.fda.gov/FDAgov/Cosmetics/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/VoluntaryCosmeticsRegistrationProgramVCRP/OnlineRegistration/default.htm.
\3\ The term ``Form FDA 2512'' refers to the paper Forms FDA 2512, 2512a, and 2514 and electronic Form FDA 2512 in the electronic system known as the
  Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program, which is available at http://wcms.fda.gov/FDAgov/Cosmetics/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/VoluntaryCosmeticsRegistrationProgramVCRP/OnlineRegistration/default.htm.

    We base our estimate of the total annual responses on paper and
electronic submissions received during calendar years 2011, 2012, and
2013. We base our estimate of the hours per response upon information
from cosmetic industry personnel and our experience entering data
submitted on paper Forms FDA 2511, 2512, 2512a, and 2514 into the
electronic system.
    We estimate that, annually, 81 establishments that manufacture or
package cosmetic products will each submit 1 registration on Form FDA
2511, for a total of 81 annual responses. Each submission is estimated
to take 0.2 hour per response for a total of 16.2 hours, rounded to 16.
We estimate that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute
cosmetics will file 4,877 ingredient statements for new submissions on
Forms FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. Each submission is estimated to take 0.33
hour per response for a total of 1,609.41 hours, rounded to 1,609. We
estimate that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute
cosmetics will file 1,042 amendments to product formulations on Forms
FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. Each submission is estimated to take 0.17 hour
per response for a total of 177.14 hours, rounded to 177. We estimate
that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute cosmetics
will file 1,826 notices of discontinuance on Form FDA 2514. Each
submission is estimated to take 0.1 hour per response for a total of
182.6 hours, rounded to 183. We estimate that, annually, one firm will
file one request for confidentiality. Each such request is estimated to
take 2 hours to prepare for a total of 2 hours. Thus, the total
estimated hour burden for this information collection is 1,987 hours.

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) Section 7(a) requires that any person who produces pesticides,
active ingredients or devices subject to the Act must register with the
Administrator of EPA the establishment in which the pesticide, active
ingredient or device is produced. This Section further requires that
application for registration of any establishment shall include the
name and address of the establishment and of the producer who operates
such an establishment. EPA Form 3540-8, Application for Registration of
Pesticide-Producing and Device-Producing Establishments, is used to
collect the establishment registration information required by this
Section.
    FIFRA Section 7(c) requires that any producer operating an
establishment registered under Section 7 report to the Administrator
within 30 days after it is registered, and annually thereafter by March
1st for certain pesticide or device production and sales or
distribution information. The producers must report which types and
amounts of pesticides, active ingredients, or devices are currently
being produced, were produced during the past year, sold or distributed
in the past year. The supporting regulations at 40 CFR part 167 provide
the requirements and time schedules for submitting production
information. EPA Form 3540-16, Pesticide Report for Pesticide-Producing
and Device-Producing Establishments, is used to collect the pesticide
production information required by Section 7(c) of FIFRA.
    Establishment registration information, collected on EPA Form 3540-
8, is a one-time requirement for all pesticide-producing and device-
producing establishments. Pesticide and device production information,
reported on EPA Form 3540-16, is required to be submitted within 30
days after the company is notified of their pesticide-producing or
device-producing establishment number, and annually thereafter on or
before March 1st. Pesticide-producing and device-producing
establishments optionally can electronically enter and submit their
establishment registration information and pesticide production
information through EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX).
    Form Numbers: 3540-8 and 3540-16.
    Respondents/affected entities: Establishments registering
pesticides.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 167).
    Estimated number of respondents: 14,730.
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 21,274 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,680,644 (per year), includes no annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change in hours at present, but
we will be revising the estimates in the 2nd FR notice before we submit
to OMB.

    Dated: April 29, 2019.
