    Expiration Date: N/A.
    Type of Request: Approval for data collection from individuals 
working in the areas of nutrition and food safety.
    Abstract: The form would include the following items:
    This form contains seven items and is used to collect information 
about participants who are interested in joining an electronic 
discussion group. The form collects data to see if a person is eligible 
to join the discussion group. Because these electronic discussion 
groups are only available to people who work in the areas of nutrition

questionnaire asks for the person's name, email address, job 
affiliation, phone number and address.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 1 minute per response.
    Respondents: Individuals who are interested in joining an 
electronic discussion group.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1000 per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1000 Minutes or 16.66 
hours.
    Comments are invited on (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technology. Comments should be sent to the address 
in the preamble. All responses to this notice will be summarized and 
included in the request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
