Description: The proposed
information collection would extend the
Administration for Children and
Families’ (ACF) Uniform Project
Description (UPD). The UPD provides a
uniform grant application format for
applicants to submit project information
in response to ACF discretionary

the UPD helps to protect the integrity of
ACF’s award selection process. All ACF
discretionary grant programs are
required to use this application format.
The application consists of general
information and instructions; the
Standard Form 424 series, which
requests basic information, budget
information, and assurances; the Project
Description that requests the applicant
to describe how program objectives will
be achieved; and other assurances and
certifications. Guidance for the content
of information requested in the Project

ADDRESSES:
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:
Experimental Study on Consumer
Responses to Labeling Statements on
Food Packages—(OMB Control Number
0910–NEW)
I. Background
The Nutrition Labeling and Education
Act requires almost all packaged foods
to bear nutrition labeling in the form of
the Nutrition Facts label. The law also
allows manufacturers to provide other
nutrition information on labels in the
form of various types of statements,
including claims, as long as such
statements comply with the regulatory
limits that govern the use of each type
of statement. There are three types of
claims that the food industry can
voluntarily use on food labels: (1)
Health claims, (2) nutrient content
claims (e.g., ‘‘Low fat’’), and (3)
structure/function claims (e.g.,
‘‘Calcium builds strong bones.’’).
Although the different types of claims
are regulated differently, they all must
be truthful and not misleading (Ref. 1).
With the increased public interest in
identifying healthier foods, U.S. food
processors have been adding nutritional
information in the form of nutrition
symbols to food labels in addition to
claims. Examples of nutrition symbols
that have been used or suggested
include nutrient-specific disclosures

(e.g., ‘‘Guideline Daily Amounts’’) (Ref.
2), calorie declarations (Ref. 3),
summary product rating (e.g., ‘‘Smart
Spot’’) (Ref. 4), a hybrid summary
indicator with nutrient-specific
disclosure (e.g., ‘‘Sensible Solution:
Good Source of Calcium, Good Sources
of 8 Vitamins and Minerals’’) (Ref. 5),
the Facts-Up-Front icon, with and
without positive nutrients (Ref. 6), and
the symbol recommended by the
Institute of Medicine (Ref. 7). Claims
related to non-nutritional product
characteristics are also used in food
labeling. The claims may feature, among
other things, statements about how
foods are grown or made (e.g.,
‘‘Organic’’ and ‘‘All Natural’’) or
absence of a substance (e.g., ‘‘Glutenfree’’).
Many consumers use claims and the
Nutrition Facts label in food choice
decisions (Refs. 8 through 10). While
some products carry only a single
labeling statement (e.g., either one claim
or one symbol) on their packages, many
products carry two or more labeling
statements. In addition, on the same
package the attributes of one statement
may differ from those of other
statements in terms of featured nutrient,
type of claim, framing of statement,
nature of statement, and presentation of
statement. For example, a package may
display one or more statements such as
symbols relating to nutrition content,
statements in words relating to the
presence of certain nutrients, statements
in words relating to the absence of other
nutrients, statements in words
describing the health benefits of
consuming foods containing or not
containing certain nutrients, and
statements in words describing how the
product was produced. Moreover, all of
those symbols and statements are
distributed in various places on the
package in different font sizes and
colors.
There exists a large body of literature
on the impacts of different types of
labeling statements on consumer
perceptions and choices of products
(Refs. 11 and 12). The majority of the
research, including the consumer
research that the Agency has previously
conducted (Refs. 13 and 14), has
focused on single labeling statements by
eliciting study participants’ reactions to
variants of a given statement. An
advantage of this research approach is
that it helps isolate the effects of
individual statements and avoid
potential confounding effects caused by
the presence of other statements. A
disadvantage of this research approach,
however, is that it does not necessarily
reflect the labels consumers see in the
marketplace. In particular, the existing
