48072 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 

1 The study was requested by Congress in 

conjunction with the Commission’s FY 2006 

appropriation (Pub. L. 109-108). The Conference 

Report (H. R. Rep. No. 109-272 (2005)) for this 

appropriations law incorporated by reference 

language from the Senate Report (S. Rep. No. 109- 

88 (2005)) instructing the FTC to prepare a report 

on food industry marketing activities and 

expenditures targeted to children and adolescents.

HHSReportonJointWorkshop.pdf). 

3 Because the compulsory process orders were 

sent to ten or more entities, the PRA required the 

Commission to obtain approval from the OMB to 

conduct the study. The Commission published two 

Federal Register notices, at 71 FR 62109 (Oct. 23, 

2006) and 72 FR 19505 (Apr. 18, 2007), in 

connection with the OMB submission. The OMB 

approved the Commission’s proposal to conduct the 

study on July 18, 2007. 

4 This figure does not include the cost of toys – 

estimated to total $360 million – distributed by the 

reporting QSR companies with children’s meals 

because, in those cases, the consumer purchased 

the toy when paying for the meal and thus the toy 

technically did not fall within the definition of 

‘‘premium’’ used in the compulsory process orders.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘FTC’’). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FTC intends to conduct 

a study of food marketing to children 

and adolescents, as a follow-up to the 

study it published in 2008 on the same 

topic. For this reason, the FTC seeks 

public comments on proposed 

information requests to approximately 

45 major food, beverage, and quick 

service restaurant (QSR) companies. 

These comments will be considered 

before the FTC submits a request for 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) review under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of compulsory 

process orders to food, beverage, and 

QSR companies. The compulsory 

process orders will seek information 

from those companies concerning, 

among other things, their marketing 

activities and expenditures targeted to 

children and adolescents and 

nutritional information about the 

companies’ food and beverage products 

marketed to children and adolescents. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

information requests must be received 

on or before November 23, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments 

electronically or in paper form, by 

following the instructions in Part III of 

the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. Comments in electronic form 

should be submitted by using the 

following weblink: (https:// 

secure.commentworks.com/ftcfoodmarketingPRA) (and following the 

instructions on the web-based form). 

Comments in paper form should be 

mailed or delivered to the following 

address: Federal Trade Commission, 

Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 

(Annex J), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20580, in the 

manner detailed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In July 2008, the FTC published a 

report entitled Marketing Food to 

Children and Adolescents: A Review of 

Industry Expenditures, Activities, and 

Self-Regulation.1 The report analyzed 

expenditures and marketing activities 

by 44 food companies across various 

promotional activity and food product 

categories for the year 2006. The report 

also reviewed policies and initiatives 

undertaken by companies to encourage 

healthy eating and lifestyle choices by 

children and adolescents, and evaluated 

the extent to which companies had 

implemented recommendations of the 

report from a workshop on Marketing, 

Self-Regulation & Childhood Obesity 

that the FTC and the Department of 

Health and Human Services jointly 

convened in 2005.2 Calendar year 2006 

was an appropriate benchmark year for 

the FTC’s study – before the Council of 

Better Business Bureaus implemented 

its efforts to modify food advertising to 

children through the Children’s Food 

and Beverage Advertising Initiative, and 

early into the Alliance for a Healthier 

Generation’s efforts to reduce and 

change the nature of food and beverage 

marketing in schools. 

The Commission obtained data and 

information for the 2006 study by 

issuing compulsory process orders to 

producers, distributors, and marketers 

of foods frequently advertised to 

children (ages 2-11) and adolescents 

(ages 12-17), such as carbonated and 

non-carbonated beverages, snacks, 

baked goods, cereals, prepared meals, 

candy, dairy products, andrestaurant 

food.3 The study found that the 

companies spent more than $1.6 billion4

marketing their products to children 

and adolescents in 2006, and employed 

a variety of techniques, including 

promotion through traditional measured 

media, the Internet and other ‘‘new’’ 

media, product packaging, and in-store 

advertising, as well as integrated 

campaigns that combined several 

techniques and cross-promotions with 

media and entertainment companies. 

In addition to presenting the study 

findings, the Commission made several 

recommendations in the 2008 report, 

including: 

(1) for companies that market food or 

beverage products to adopt meaningful 

nutrition-based standards for all 

products marketed to children under 

age 12, through all forms of advertising 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 48073 

5 ‘‘Promotional activities’’ include use of 

traditional measured media (e.g., television, print, 

and radio), new media (e.g., website, Internet, 

digital advertising, word-of-mouth, and viral 

advertising), product packaging and in-store 

marketing, use of premiums, in-school marketing, 

and other traditional promotional activities (e.g., 

product placement, movie and video promotion, 

character licensing and cross-promotion licensing 

fees, athletic sponsorship, celebrity endorsement, 

and event marketing). 

6 In response to the notice of proposed collection 

for the 2006 study, the FTC received a comment 

from the Grocery Manufacturers Association 

suggesting that the burden on companies is more 

likely to correlate with the number of brands a 

company markets rather than the number of food 

categories in which it markets products. 

Nevertheless, the FTC believes its ranges for 

estimated costs, which are separated into singlecategory and multiple-category company ranges, are 

sufficiently wide to account for differences in the 

number of individual brands the companies market 

in each category and in the amount of marketing the 

companies engage in for each brand. 

and promotional techniques targeted to 

children; 

(2) for food and beverage companies 

to define ‘‘marketing to children,’’ for 

purposes of self-regulatory limitations, 

to encompass all advertising and 

promotional techniques, including: 

television, print, and radio; website, 

Internet, and digital advertising; wordof-mouth and viral advertising; product 

packaging and retail promotion; movie 

and video promotion; use of premiums 

in connection with the sale of a product; 

product placements, character licensing, 

and cross-promotion; athletic 

sponsorship; celebrity endorsements; 

and in-school marketing; and 

(3) for media and entertainment 

companies to limit licensing of their 

characters to healthier foods and 

beverages that are marketed to children. 

Further, the Commission indicated it 

would issue a follow-up report assessing 

the extent to which the 2008 report 

recommendations have been 

implemented and what, if any, 

additional measures may be warranted. 

The proposed study will seek 

information in keeping with the 2006 

study, including:(1) food industry 

marketing activities and expenditures 

targeted to children (ages 2-11) and 

adolescents (ages 12-17) for calendar 

year 2009; and (2) marketing to youth of 

a specific gender, race, ethnicity, or 

income level. The Commission 

additionally proposes to gather nutrition 

information about products the 

companies marketed to children and 

adolescents in calendar years 2006 and 

2009, to evaluate possible changes in 

the nutritional content, and variety, of 

youth-marketed foods. The Commission 

also proposes to seek scientific and 

market research exploring psychological 

and other factors that may contribute to 

food advertising appeal among youth. 

The FTC has the authority to compel 

production of this data and information 

from food, beverage, and QSR 

companies under Section 6(b) of the 

FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 46(b). The 

Commission intends to send its 

information requests to the corporate 

parents of these types of companies to 

assure that no relevant information from 

affiliated or subsidiary companies goes 

unreported. Because the number of 

separately incorporated companies 

affected by the Commission’s requests 

will exceed nine entities, the 

Commission will seek OMB clearance 

under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. §§ 3501-3521, 

before sending any information 

requests. 

It should be noted that subsequent to 

this notice, any destruction, removal, 

mutilation, alteration, or falsification of 

documentary evidence that may be 

responsive to this information collection 

within the possession or control of a 

person, partnership, or corporation 

subject to the FTC Act may be subject 

to criminal prosecution. 15 U.S.C. § 50; 

see also 18 U.S.C. § 1505. 

II. Paperwork Reduction Act 

As required by Section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

of the PRA, the FTC is providing this 

opportunity for public comment before 

requesting that OMB approve the study. 

Under the PRA, federal agencies must 

obtain OMB approval for each collection 

of information they conduct or sponsor 

if the same information collection is 

posed to ten or more entities. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ means 

agency requests or requirements that 

members of the public submit reports, 

keep records, or provide information to 

a third party. 44 U.S.C. § 3502(3); 5 CFR 

1320.3(c). 

Specifically, the FTC invites 

comments on: (1) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the FTC, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of the FTC’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of 

collecting information on those who 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. The 

FTC encourages recipients of the 2007 

compulsory process orders to offer 

suggestions on how the burden of the 

proposed collection may be reduced. 

A. Description of the Collection of 

Information and Proposed Use 

The FTC proposes to send 

information requests to approximately 

45 parent companies of food and 

beverage and QSR companies in the 

United States (‘‘industry members’’). 

The companies that will receive these 

information requests are those selling 

the categories of food and beverage 

products that appear to be advertised to 

youth most frequently. Specifically, 

these categories of products will 

include: breakfast cereal; snack foods; 

candy, including frozen and chilled 

desserts; dairy products, including milk 

and yogurt; baked goods; carbonated 

beverages; fruit juice and noncarbonated beverages; prepared foods 

and meals; and restaurant foods. In 

addition, the FTC proposes to collect 

information from major marketers of 

fruits and vegetables to ensure that data 

and information are gathered regarding 

efforts to promote consumption of these 

foods among children and adolescents. 

The information requests will seek 

data and information regarding, among 

other things: (1) the types of foods 

marketed to children and adolescents; 

(2) the types of promotional activities5

used to market products to children and 

adolescents; (3) the amount spent to 

communicate marketing messages in 

measured and unmeasured media to 

children and adolescents; and (4) 

nutrition information (e.g., from the 

product’s ‘‘Nutrition Facts’’ label). The 

Commission will provide information 

on an anonymous or aggregated basis, in 

a manner sufficient to protect individual 

companies’ confidential information, to 

provide a factual summary of food 

industry marketing activities and 

expenditures targeted to children and 

adolescents. See 15 U.S.C. § 57b2(d)(1)(B). 

B. Estimated Hours Burden: 12,250 

hours 

The FTC staff’s estimate of the hours 

burden is based on the time required to 

respond to each information request. 

The Commission intends to issue the 

information requests to approximately 

45 parent companies of food, beverage, 

and QSR marketers. Because these 

companies vary in size, in the number 

of products they market to children and 

adolescents, and in the extent and 

variety of their marketing and 

advertising, the FTC staff has provided 

a range of the estimated hours burden 

for companies that market a single 

category of food products and for 

companies that market multiple 

categories of food.6

Based upon its knowledge of the 

industries, FTC staff estimates, on 

average, that the time required to gather, 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

48074 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 

8The comment must be accompanied by an 

explicit request for confidential treatment, 

including the factual and legal basis for the request, 

and must identify the specific portions of the 

comment to be withheld from the public record. 

The request will be granted or denied by the 

Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with 

applicable law and the public interest. See FTC 

Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). 

organize, format, and produce such 

responses will range between 140 and 

200 hours per information request for 

companies that market a single category 

of product to children and adolescents; 

thus, an average of 170 hours. Staff 

further estimates that companies 

marketing multiple categories of 

products to children and adolescents 

would spend between 200 and 600 

hours to respond to an information 

request; thus, an average of 400 hours. 

The total estimated burden per company 

is based on the following assumptions: 

Identify, obtain, and organize 

product information,prepare 

response: 25-150 

hours 

Identify, obtain, and organize 

information on 

marketingexpenditures, prepare response: 50-200 

hours7

Identify, obtain, and organize 

information on, andsamples 

of, marketing activities, prepare response: 25-150 

hours 

Identify, obtain, and organize 

information regardingproduct 

nutrition information and 

healthy initiatives,prepare response: 20-50 hours 

Identify, obtain, and organize 

information regardingmarket 

research and marketing to 

youth of aspecific gender, 

race, ethnicity, or income 

level,prepare response: 20-50 hours 

Total 140-600 

hours 

7 For companies that use substantial 

amounts of unmeasured media for advertising 

and promotional activities, the hours required 

to respond will be greater than for companies 

that utilize only small amounts of unmeasured 

media. 

The Commission intends to send 

information requests to approximately 

25 parent companies that market a 

single category of product to children 

and adolescents. As a result, staff 

estimates a total burden for these 

companies of approximately 4,250 

hours (25 companies x 170 average 

burden hours per company). The 

Commission intends to send 

information requests to approximately 

20 parent companies that market 

multiple categories of products to 

children and adolescents. As a result, 

staff estimates a total burden for these 

companies of approximately 8,000 

hours (20 companies x 400 average 

burden hours per company). Thus, 

cumulative estimated burden is 12,250 

hours. These estimates include any time 

spent by separately incorporated 

subsidiaries and other entities affiliated 

with the ultimate parent company that 

has received the information request. 

C. Estimated Cost Burden: $3,675,000 

It is difficult to calculate with 

precision the labor costs associated with 

the information requests, as the costs 

entail varying compensation levels of 

management and/or support staff among 

companies of different sizes. Financial, 

legal, marketing, and clerical personnel 

may be involved in the information 

collection process. The FTC staff has 

assumed that professional personnel 

and outside legal counsel will handle 

most of the tasks involved in gathering 

and producing responsive information, 

and has applied an average hourly wage 

of $300/hour for their labor. Thus, the 

staff estimates that the total labor costs 

for the information requests will be 

approximately $3,675,000 (($300 x 

4,250 hours for companies that market 

a single category) + ($300 x 8,000 hours 

for companies that market multiple 

categories)). 

FTC staff estimates that the capital or 

other non-labor costs associated with 

the information requests will be 

minimal. Although the information 

requests may necessitate that industry 

members maintain the requested 

information provided to the 

Commission, they should already have 

in place the means to compile and 

maintain business records.

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 48075 

consider and use in this proceeding as 

appropriate. The Commission will 

consider all timely and responsive 

public comments that it receives, 

whether filed in paper or electronic 

form. Comments received will be 

available to the public on the FTC 

Website, to the extent practicable, at 

(http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm). As a matter of 

discretion, the FTC makes every effort to 

remove home contact information for 

individuals from the public comments it 

receives before placing those comments 

on the FTC Website. More information, 

including routine uses permitted by the 

Privacy Act, may be found in the FTC’s 

privacy policy, at (http://www.ftc.gov/

Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 

§ 46(f), bars the Commission from 

publicly disclosing trade secrets or 

confidential commercial or financial 

information it receives from persons 

pursuant to, among other methods, 

special orders authorized by Section 

6(b) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 46(b). 

Such information also would be exempt 

from disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). 

Moreover, under Section 21(c) of the 

FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 57b-2(c), a 

submitter who designates a submission 

as confidential is entitled to 10 days’ 

advance notice of any anticipated public 

disclosure by the Commission, 

assuming that the Commission has 

determined that the information does 

not, in fact, constitute 6(f) material. 

Although materials covered under one 

or more of these various sections are 

protected by stringent confidentiality 

constraints, the FTC Act and the 

Commission’s rules authorize disclosure 

in limited circumstances (e.g., official 

requests by Congress, requests from 

other agencies for law enforcement 

purposes, and administrative or judicial 

proceedings). Even in those limited 

contexts, however, the Commission’s 

rules may afford protections to the 

submitter, such as advance notice to 

seek a protective order in litigation. See 

15 U.S.C. § 57b-2; 16 CFR 4.9-4.11.

Real Property 

TO: Heads of Federal Agencies. 

SUBJECT: Federal Real Property Report. 

1. Purpose. This bulletin announces 

the FY 2008 release of the Federal Real 

Property Report, an overview of the U.S. 

Government’s owned and leased real 

property as of September 30, 2008. 

2. Expiration Date. This bulletin 

contains information of a continuing 

nature and will remain in effect until 

canceled. 

3. Background. 

(1) On February 4, 2004, the President 

issued Executive Order (EO) 13327, 

‘‘Federal Real Property Asset 

Management,’’ and established the 

Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) to 

oversee the Federal Government’s asset 

management planning process and to 

improve governmentwide real property 

performance. The EO requires the 

Administrator of General Services, in 

consultation with the FRPC, to develop 

and maintain a centralized inventory 

database, incorporating all key elements 

identified by the FRPC. 

(2) The goals of the centralized 

database are to: (1) Improve decision 

making with more accurate and reliable 

data; (2) provide the ability to 

benchmark federal real property asset 

performance; and (3) centralize 

collection of key real property data 

elements into one federal inventory 

database. The Federal Real Property 

Profile (FRPP) system was re-engineered 

in FY 2005 and further enhanced in 

subsequent years to meet the FRPC’s 

information technology requirements. 

(3) The FY 2008 report marks the 

fourth reporting year for the 

governmentwide data elements 

designated by the FRPC as required by 

EO 13327. All executive branch 

agencies are required to submit 

constructed asset-level data to the FRPP 

on an annual basis. The FRPP is a 

secure, password-protected Web-based 

database that allows federal real 

property managers to update real 

property data online and in real time, 

perform historical benchmarking, 

produce ad hoc reports, measure 

performance of real property assets, and 

identify unneeded and underutilized 

assets for disposal. The Federal Real 

Property Report provides information 

regarding federal real property holdings.
