SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Lhorne on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
I. Background
We are announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘FDA’s Policy on Declaring Small
Amounts of Nutrients and Dietary
Ingredients on Nutrition Labels:
Guidance for Industry.’’ We are issuing
the draft guidance consistent with our
good guidance practices regulation (21
CFR 10.115). The draft guidance
represents the current thinking of FDA
on our policy on declaring small
amounts of nutrients and dietary
ingredients on nutrition labels. It does
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
not establish any rights for any person
and is not binding on FDA or the public.
You can use an alternative approach if
it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.
The draft guidance, when finalized,
will explain our nutrition labeling
policy on declaring the nutrient values
in conventional foods and dietary
ingredient values in dietary
supplements in certain cases.
Specifically, declaring small amounts of
nutrients and dietary ingredients in the
nutrition labeling may result in a
conflict between 21 CFR 101.9(c)(1)
through (8) and 21 CFR 101.9(g)(4)(ii)
and 21 CFR 101.9(g)(5). In such cases,
we are recommending manufacturers
declare nutrients and dietary
ingredients in accordance with
§ 101.9(c)(1) through (8). If the draft
guidance is finalized, we intend to
consider the use of our enforcement
discretion with respect to the
compliance requirements in
§ 101.9(g)(4)(ii)) and § 101.9(g)(5) when
a conflict exists with § 101.9(c)(1)
through (8).
We also are considering whether
changes to our nutrition labeling
regulations are needed, including
changes to § 101.9(c) or (g), or both. If
we determine that rulemaking is
needed, we will consider whether to
revise or withdraw the draft guidance.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
The draft guidance refers to
previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations.
These collections of information are
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections
of information in § 101.9 have been
approved under OMB control number
0910–0381.
III. Comments
Interested persons may submit either
electronic comments regarding the draft
guidance to https://www.regulations.gov
or written comments regarding the draft
guidance to the Division of Dockets
Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only
necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket
number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. Received
comments may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and

Develop IMTS—Outbound and Inbound
Product Costs

IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
In the Fiscal Year 2014 Annual
Compliance Determination (FY 2014
ACD), the Commission directed the
Postal Service to report within 90 days
on the feasibility of developing
attributable costs for the International
Money Transfer Service (IMTS)—
Outbound and Inbound products based
upon alternatives to the In-Office Cost
System (IOCS).1 Cost data for the
IMTS—Outbound and Inbound
products are reported in the
International Cost and Revenue
Analysis (ICRA) report.
On June 30, 2015, the Postal Service
filed its response to this directive.2 In
Item No. 4 of the Response, the Postal
Service proposes to use data reported by
the Federal Reserve Bank to estimate the
transaction volume for the IMTS—
Inbound product. Id. at 3. The Postal
Service also proposes to use the
inbound transaction volume in a new
methodology to develop attributable
costs for the IMTS—Outbound and
Inbound products as an alternative to
using IOCS statistical data. Id. at 5.
Pursuant to 39 CFR 3050.11 et. seq.,
the Commission establishes the instant
docket to initiate an informal
rulemaking proceeding to consider the
changes proposed in Item No. 4 of the
Response to the Commission’s directive
in the FY 2014 ACD. The proposed
changes to the IMTS—Outbound and
Inbound products are labeled as
Proposal Five and will be considered in
this docket.
II. Proposal Five: A New Methodology
To Develop IMTS—Outbound and
Inbound Product Costs
The Postal Service proposes to
estimate the transaction volume for the
IMTS—Inbound product for the first
time on an annual basis using data
available from the Federal Reserve Bank
on the number of foreign-origin money
orders cashed by the Postal Service. Id.
at 3. Using this new inbound transaction
volume, the Postal Service proposes a
new methodology to develop the
attributable costs of the IMTS—
Outbound and Inbound products. Id.
at 5.
Currently, total attributable costs for
the combined IMTS—Outbound and

Postal Service statistical sampling systems used to
develop product costs.

Inbound products are distributed
between the products using IOCS
tallies.3 The Postal Service states that
both the IMTS—Outbound and Inbound
products are small products with
relatively few transactions. Response at
4. As a result, it is difficult to obtain a
sufficient number of IOCS tallies to
reliably estimate attributable costs for
the IMTS—Outbound product, which
causes relatively volatile unit costs yearto-year. Id. Moreover, in most fiscal
years, the Postal Service has been
unable to develop attributable costs for
the IMTS—Inbound product because of
an absence of IOCS tallies. In addition,
the ICRA report does not present
transaction volume for the IMTS—
Inbound product because the Postal
Service has been unable to estimate
such transaction volume through special
studies or the use of data from postal
retail systems. Id. at 2–3.
To develop attributable costs for the
IMTS—Outbound and Inbound
products, the Postal Service proposes to
use an estimate of retail window service
time for electronic wire transfer
transactions to develop an electronic
window service cost per transaction. Id.
at 5. When multiplied by the number of
electronic transfer transactions, the
resulting total electronic window
service costs is then subtracted from the
total attributable costs for the combined
IMTS products, with the remainder
apportioned between transactions for
outbound paper money orders and
foreign-origin money orders cashed by
the Postal Service based on transaction
volume. Id.
III. Initial Commission Action
The Commission establishes Docket
No. RM2015–13 for consideration of
matters raised by Item No. 4 of the
Response, now identified as Proposal
Five. More information on Proposal Five
may be accessed via the Commission’s
Web site at https://www.prc.gov. The
Postal Service filed portions of its
supporting documentation under seal as
part of a non-public annex. Information
concerning access to non-public
materials is located in 39 CFR part 3007.
Interested persons may submit
comments on Proposal Five no later
3 See Docket No. RM2011–5, Order No. 724,
Order Concerning Analytical Principles for Periodic
Reporting (Proposals Ten through Twelve, May 4,
2011, at 6–8. The IOCS collects data on the
proportion of time spent by an employee
performing various functions on different mail
products or services. These proportions of time are
used to estimate the costs of such products or
services. An example might be the time spent by
city carriers in a delivery post office casing (i.e.,
sorting) mail. Individuals referred to as ‘‘tally
takers’’ sample the time data; hence, the term tally
is used to identify the source of the data.
