In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Food Labeling; Calorie Labeling of Articles of Food in Vending Machines and Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments OMB Control Number 0910–0782— Extension This information collection supports FDA regulations under part 101 (21 CFR part 101) and the associated collection instrument Form FDA 3757. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires the disclosure of certain calorie labeling of articles of food in vending machines, as well as nutrition information for standard menu items in certain restaurants and retail food establishments. Sections 101.8 and 101.11 (21 CFR 101.8 and 101.11) provides that respondents with a chain of 20 or more locations will disclose nutritional information of certain foods for consumers of food products for the purpose of making informed dietary choices. We also offer registration for respondents who wish to voluntarily participate with this information collection activity, for which we developed Form FDA 3757 entitled ‘‘DHHS/FDA Menu and Vending Machine Labeling Voluntary Registration’’ to assist respondents in this regard. To keep the registration active, a respondent renews their registration every other year within 60 days prior to the expiration of the respondent’s current registration with FDA, or it will automatically expire. We use the collection of information to help determine compliance with regulatory requirements. Third-party disclosure requirements are used by consumers of food products for the purpose of making informed dietary choices. Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information are vending machine operators and restaurants or other similar food establishments that are subject to the requirements of part 101 as well as those entities that voluntarily participate with the provisions of this collection of information. In the Federal Register of December 4, 2020 (85 FR 78334), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. Although some general comments were received regarding the applicable labeling requirements, no comments suggested we revise the information collection burden we estimate under 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(B).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Food Labeling; Calorie Labeling of Articles of Food in Vending Machines 
and Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and 
Similar Retail Food Establishments

OMB Control Number 0910-0782--Extension

    This information collection supports FDA regulations under part 101 
(21 CFR part 101) and the associated collection instrument Form FDA 
3757. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires the disclosure 
of certain calorie labeling of articles of food in vending machines, as 
well as nutrition information for standard menu items in certain 
restaurants and retail food establishments. Sections 101.8 and 101.11 
(21 CFR 101.8 and 101.11) provides that respondents with a chain of 20 
or more locations will disclose nutritional information of certain 
foods for consumers of food products for the purpose of making informed 
dietary choices. We also offer registration for respondents who wish to 
voluntarily participate with this information collection activity, for 
which we developed Form FDA 3757 entitled ``DHHS/FDA Menu and Vending 
Machine Labeling Voluntary Registration'' to assist respondents in this 
regard. To keep the registration active, a respondent renews their 
registration every other year within 60 days prior to the expiration of 
the respondent's current registration with FDA, or it will 
automatically expire.
    We use the collection of information to help determine compliance 
with regulatory requirements. Third-party disclosure requirements are 
used by consumers of food products for the purpose of making informed 
dietary choices.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information are vending machine operators and restaurants or other 
similar food establishments that are subject to the requirements of 
part 101 as well as those entities that voluntarily participate with 
the provisions of this collection of information.
    In the Federal Register of December 4, 2020 (85 FR 78334), we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although some general comments were received 
regarding the applicable labeling requirements, no comments suggested 
we revise the information collection burden we estimate under 5 CFR 
1320.5(a)(1)(B).
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
