Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Development of Nutrition Education
Messages and Products for the General
Public.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0523.
Summary of Collection: The Center
for Nutrition Policy and Promotion
(CNPP) of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture conducts consumer research
to identify key issues of concern related
to understanding and use of the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans and
MyPyramid. The Dietary Guidelines, a
primary source of dietary health
information, are issued jointly by the
USDA and Health and Human Services
and serve as the cornerstone of Federal
nutrition policy and form the basis for
nutrition education efforts of these
agencies. MyPyramid is a tool, which
helps consumers understand and use
the Dietary Guidelines. CNPP works to
improve the health and well-being of
Americans by developing and
promoting dietary guidelines that links
scientific research to the nutrition needs
of consumers.
Need and Use of the Information:
CNPP will collect information to
develop practical and meaningful
nutrition and physical activity guidance
for Americans to help improve their
health. The collected information will
also be used to expand the knowledge
base concerning how the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans and
MyPyramid recommendations and
messages are understood as well as how
they can be used by consumers to
improve balance of their food intake
with physical energy expenditure for
good health. If this information is not
collected, USDA’s ability to incorporate
messages and materials that are
practical, meaningful, and relevant for
the intended audience in any proposed
update of the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans or MyPyramid will be
impaired.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Cut Flowers from Countries
with Chrysanthemum White Rust.
OMB Number: 0579-0271.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict
the importation, entry, and interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. As authorized
by the PPA, APHIS regulates the
importation of cut flowers from certain
parts of the world as provided in
‘‘Subpart—Cut Flowers’’ (7 CFR 319.741 through 319.74-4).
In accordance with these regulations,
cut flowers from countries with
chrysanthemum white rust may be
imported into the United States only
under certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of this disease into the
United States. These conditions involve
the use of information collection
activities, including a phytosanitary
certificate with an additional
declaration statement and box labeling.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.2483404 hours per response.
Respondents: Foreign national plant
protection organizations and registered
production sites.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,025.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2.4985365.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 2,561.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 636 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 15th day
of October, 2009.
