comment on several specific questions
on how we might further reduce the
regulatory burden or increase flexibility
while continuing to achieve our

for themselves and their families. We
are taking this action in response to a
request for an extension to allow
interested persons additional time to
submit comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of May 4, 2017, FDA
published an interim final rule with a
60-day comment period to request
comments on the extension of the
compliance date for our final rule
requiring disclosure of certain nutrition
information for standard menu items in
certain restaurants and retail food
establishments. The interim final rule
extended the compliance date from May
5, 2017, to May 7, 2018, and invited
comment on several specific questions
on how we might further reduce the
regulatory burden or increase flexibility

for the disclosure of certain nutrition
information for standard menu items in
certain restaurants and retail food

We have received a request for a 60day extension of the comment period for
the interim final rule. The request
conveyed concern that the current 60day comment period does not allow
sufficient time to develop a meaningful
or thoughtful response to the interim
final rule.
FDA has considered the request and
is extending the comment period for the
interim final rule for 30 days, until
August 2, 2017. We believe that a 30day extension allows adequate time for
interested persons to submit comments
without significantly delaying Agency
action on these important issues.
