Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) administers the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946
(Title II of the Act of August 14, 1946).
P.L. 114–216 amended the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946, directing the
Secretary of Agriculture to establish the
National Bioengineered Food Disclosure
Standard (7 CFR 66) for disclosing
certain foods that are bioengineered or
contain bioengineered ingredients. The
final rule (National Bioengineered Food
Disclosure Standard [7 CFR 66]) fulfils
USDA’s need to establish requirements
and procedures to carry out the new
standard. P.L. 114–216 also addressed
Federal preemption of State and local
genetic engineering labeling
requirements and specifies that
certification of food under USDA’s
National Organic Program (7 CFR 205)
were considered sufficient to make
claims about the absence of
bioengineering in the food. AMS
gathered industry input and conducted
rulemaking on the National
Bioengineered Food Disclosure
Standards. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), AMS is publishing
this a 60-day notice on reporting and
recordkeeping requirements related to
the National Bioengineered Food
Disclosure Standard. This collection
represents a total burden of 353,952
hours.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.3 hours per
response.
Respondents: Importers, food
manufacturers, and food retailers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
155,098.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
155,098.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 353,952 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

including the validity of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
