Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Child Nutrition (CN)
Labeling Program is a voluntary
technical assistance service that helps
schools and institutions participating in
the National School Lunch Program
(NSLP), School Breakfast Program
(SBP), Child and Adult Care Food
Program (CACFP), and Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP) determine a
product’s contribution toward the foodbased meal pattern requirements. (See
Appendix C to 7 CFR parts 210, 220,
225, and 226 for more information on
these programs.) A CN label on a
product assures schools and other Child
Nutrition Program operators that the
product contributes to the meal pattern
requirements as printed on the label.
There is no Federal requirement for
commercial products to have a CN label
statement in order to be included in
meals served by schools and
institutions. The label review program
transferred from the Food and Nutrition
Service to AMS in 2010.
To participate in the CN Labeling
Program, a manufacturer submits a label
application to AMS for evaluation. AMS
reviews the product formulation to
determine the contribution a serving of
the product makes towards the foodbased meal pattern requirements. The
application form submitted to AMS is
the same form that a manufacturer
submits to the USDA’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) Labeling and
Program Delivery Division for review of
meat and poultry labels. Participation in
the CN Labeling Program is voluntary;
manufacturers who wish to place a CN
label on their products must comply
with CN Labeling Program
requirements.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 15 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Manufacturers who
produce food for the school foodservice.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
262.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
1,048.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 4.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 262 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the information
collection burden on those who
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques.
All comments on this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval, and become a matter
of public record.

Administrator, Agricultural Marketing
Service.
