Cooperative State Research, Education,
and Extension Service
Title: Expanded Food and Nutrition
Education Program (EFNEP).
OMB Control Number: 0524–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The
Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative
State Research, Education, and
Extension Service (CSREES), Expanded
Food and Nutrition Education Program
(EFNEP) is a unique program that began
in 1969, designed to reach limited
resource audiences, especially youth
and families with young children.
EFNEP operates in 50 states of the
United States, American Samoa, Guam,
Micronesia, and the Commonwealth of
the Northern Marianas, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the
Virgin Islands of the United States. The
objectives of EFNEP are to assist limited
resource families and youth in acquiring
the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and
changed behaviors necessary for making
diet decisions that are nutritionally
sound, and to contribute to their
personal development and the
improvement of the total family diet and
nutritional well being.
Need and Use of the Information:
CSREES will collect information using
the Evaluation/Reporting System (E/RS)
a database that was develop to capture
the impacts of EFNEP. The system will
provide a variety of reports that are
useful for management purposes,
provide diagnostic assessments of
participants needs and export summary
data for State and National assessment
of the program’s impact. E/RS stores
information in the form of records about
the program participants, their family
structure and their dietary practices.
Without the information it would be
extremely difficult for the national
office to compare, assess, and analyze
the effectiveness and the impact of
EFNEP without the annual collection of
data.

local or tribal government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Codex Alimentarius Commission
(Codex) was established in 1962 by two
United Nations organizations, the Food
and Agriculture Organization and the
World Health Organization. Codex is the
major international standard-setting
organization for protecting the health
and economic interests of consumers
and encouraging fair international trade
in food. Through adoption of food
standards, codes of practice, and other
guidelines developed by its committees,
and by promoting their adoption and
implementation by governments, Codex
seeks to ensure that the world’s food
supply is sound, wholesome, free from
adulteration, and correctly labeled. In
the United States, USDA, FDA, and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
manage and carry out U.S. Codex
activities.
The Codex Committee on Methods of
Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS)
performs multiple functions; defines
criteria appropriate for Codex Methods
of Analysis and Sampling; specifies
reference methods of analysis and
sampling; endorses methods of analysis
and sampling proposed by Codex
Committees; elaborates sampling plans;
and considers specific sampling and
analysis problems. The Committee is
chaired by Hungary.
Issues To Be Discussed at the Public
Meeting
The following items on the agenda for
the 26th Session of CCMAS will be
discussed during the public meeting:
1. Matters referred by the Codex
Alimentarius Commission and other
Codex Committees
2. Proposed Draft Guidelines for
Evaluating Acceptable Methods of
Analysis
3. Fitness-for-Purpose Approach (for
inclusion in the Proposed Draft
