The "Voluntary Cosmetic Registration
Program" provides FDA with the best information available about the
locations, business trade names, and types of activity
(manufacturing and packaging) of participating establishments. FDA
uses the registration to estimate the size of the cosmetic industry
and for conducting on site establishment inspections.
This is an approval request in
which both the total annual number of responses and the total
annual hour burden are being increased. The total annual number of
responses reflects an overall increase from 7,525 to 7,827
responses (an increase of 302) and a total annual hour burden
increase from 1,827 to 1,987 hours (an increase of 160). The
