In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Health and Diet Survey—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0545)—Extension
FDA is seeking extension of OMB
approval for the Health and Diet Survey,
which is a voluntary consumer survey
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

intended to gauge and track consumer
attitudes, awareness, knowledge, and
behavior regarding various topics
related to health, nutrition, and physical
activity. The authority for FDA to
collect the information derives from
FDA’s Commissioner of Food and Drugs
authority provided in section 903(d)(2)
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)).
The survey consists of two
independent data collection activities.
One collection, entitled ‘‘Health and
Diet Survey—General Topics,’’ tracks a
broad range of consumer attitudes,
awareness, knowledge, and self-reported
behaviors related to key diet and health
issues. The other collection, entitled
‘‘Health and Diet Survey—Dietary
Guidelines Supplement,’’ will provide
FDA with updated information about
consumer attitudes, awareness,
knowledge, and behavior regarding
various elements of nutrition and
physical activity based on the key
recommendations of the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, which are
jointly issued by the Department of
Health and Human Services and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture every 5
years.
The information to be collected with
the Health and Diet Survey—General
Topics will include: (1) Awareness of
diet-disease relationships, (2) food and
dietary supplement label use, (3) dietary
practices including strategies to lose or
maintain weight, and (4) awareness and
knowledge of dietary fats. This survey
has been repeated approximately every
3 years over the course of the past
several years for the purpose of tracking
changes and trends in public opinions
and consumer behavior, with some new
questions added or omitted or partially
modified each iteration in response to
current events. In the next 3 years, FDA
plans to field the Health and Diet
Survey—General Topics in 2012 and
anticipates that it might have the need
for additional iterations in 2014. The
information to be collected with the
Health and Diet Survey—Dietary
Guidelines Supplement will include: (1)
Awareness and sources of information,
(2) attitudes toward diet and physical
activity, and (3) practice and knowledge
related to recommended behaviors. The
survey will also ask about perceptions
and use of Federal nutrition
information, special diet, weight status,
health status, and demographics. In the
next 3 years, FDA anticipates to field
the Health and Diet Survey—Dietary
Guidelines Supplement in 2011–2012.
FDA and other Federal Agencies will
use the information from the Health and
Diet Survey to evaluate and develop
strategies and programs to encourage
