SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the Federal Register of March 3,
2014 (79 FR 11880), we published a
proposed rule entitled ‘‘Food Labeling:
Revision of the Nutrition and
Supplement Facts Labels’’ with a 90-day
comment period to request comments
on amending our regulations for
conventional foods and dietary
supplements to provide updated
nutrition information on the label to
assist consumers in maintaining healthy
dietary practices. Comments on the
proposed rule will inform FDA’s
rulemaking to amend the regulations for
the Nutrition and Supplement Facts
labels.
We received multiple requests for a
90-day extension of the comment period
and one request for a 120-day extension
of the comment period for the proposed
rule. Each request conveyed concern
that the original 90-day comment period
does not allow sufficient time to
develop a meaningful or thoughtful
response to the proposed rule.
We have considered the requests and
are extending the comment period for
the proposed rule for 60 days, until
August 1, 2014. We believe that a 60day extension allows adequate time for
interested persons to submit comments
without significantly delaying
rulemaking on these important issues.
II. Request for Comments
Interested persons may submit either
electronic comments regarding this
document to https://www.regulations.gov
or written comments to the Division of
Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It
is only necessary to send one set of
comments. Received comments may be
seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and will be
posted to the docket at https://

with a 90-day comment period to
request comments on amending the
definition of a single-serving container;
requiring dual-column labeling for
certain containers; updating and
modifying several reference amounts
customarily consumed; adding several
food products and food product
categories to the reference amounts
customarily consumed per eating

amendments to various aspects of the

We received multiple requests for a

for the proposed rule. Each request
