SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Child Nutrition Labeling 

Program. 

OMB Number: 0581–0261. 

Expiration Date of Approval: January 

31, 2024. 

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: 

203. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

812. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 4. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 203 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 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 responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.
