SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Development of Nutrition Education
Messages and Materials for the General
Public/CNPP.
OMB Number: 0582–0523.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2006.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Dietary Guidelines for
Americans, issued jointly by the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture and Health
and Human Services, are the
cornerstone of Federal nutrition policy
and form the basis for nutrition
education efforts of these agencies. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s CNPP
develops and promotes nutrition
education materials to help consumers
understand and use the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans as well as
MyPyramid, the tool designed to help
consumers implement the Dietary
Guidelines. Additional materials (hard
copy and electronic) will be developed
to help consumers understand and use
the Dietary Guidelines, many of which
may be geared toward various special
population groups. Publications that
have become obsolete since the release
of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans and MyPyramid will also
need to be updated and replaced. With
the increased prevalence of overweight
and obesity in the United States, it has
become increasingly important to
communicate clear and useful nutrition
education information related to the
Dietary Guidelines on food choices,
weight, and physical activity. The
USDA will have the lead responsibility
for the 2010 Dietary Guidelines revision
process from which new messages and
materials may be developed, including
a new consumer bulletin.
Educational messages and materials
in support of the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans and MyPyramid will be
developed by the Center for Nutrition
Policy and Promotion which may
include:
1. Messages and materials related to
the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans that aim to teach the general
public about proper nutrition and
physical activity;
2. Enhancement of the MyPyramid
Web site to include additional
components such as nutrition and
physical activity personalized tracking
and other interactive tools as well as
more consumer and professional
support materials;
3. Nutrition education and Internetbased materials to help combat
overweight and obesity in America;
4. Materials relaying the 2005 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans and
MyPyramid for special population
groups that might be identified; and
5. New policy, messages and materials
that might be developed as a result of
the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans revision process.
The materials for these initiatives will
be tested using qualitative consumer
research techniques, which may include
focus groups (with general consumers,
educators, students, etc.), interviews
(i.e., intercept, individual, diads, triads,
usability testing, etc.) and Web-based
surveys. Participants in the testing will
provide information regarding the
clarity, understandability, and
acceptability of the messages and
materials during the developmental
process and during the final product
development stage.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by
the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946
(AMA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621 et
seq.), to provide voluntary Federal dairy
grading and inspection services to
facilitate the orderly marketing of dairy
products and to enable consumers to
obtain the quality of dairy products they
desire. One means of facilitating
international marketing of domestically
produced dairy products is through the
issuance of export certificates.
Many importing countries require
shipment specific certificates attesting
to the acceptability of products and/or
the manufacturing operations that
produce these products. Some countries
accept generic export certificates issued
by the Dairy Grading Branch. Other
countries have accepted certificates
issued by the Dairy Grading Branch that
include country specific information.
The Dairy Grading Branch coordinates
the content of these certificates with
other Department of Agriculture (USDA)
and Federal agencies when the
statements made in these certificates are
based on responsibilities of those
agencies.
The manufacturing operations that
produce products eligible for export
certification include those operations
participating in the USDA approved
plant program administered by the
Dairy Grading Branch (7 CFR part 58)
and operations identified by the Food
and Drug Administration. The AMA
provides for the collection of reasonable
fees from users of the services provided
by the Dairy Grading Branch.
Manufacturers and exporters requesting
certificates are charged fees
commensurate with costs associated
with this service.
In order to prepare an export
certificate, it is necessary that the
manufacturer or exporter provide
shipment specific information. This is
accomplished by completing a
worksheet developed by the Dairy
Grading Branch then mailing or faxing
this completed worksheet to the
Washington, DC office. In some
instances a Certificate of Conformance
