Food and Drug Administration 

[Docket No. 2007N–0053] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Food Labeling 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is announcing an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on 

the information collection provisions in 

FDA’s food labeling regulations. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information by April 30, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to: http://www.fda.gov/ 

dockets/ecomments. Submit written 

comments on the collection of 

information to the Division of Dockets 

Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug 

Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 

1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All 

comments should be identified with the 

docket number found in brackets in the 

heading of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief 

Information Officer (HFA–250), Food 

and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers 

Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–

4659. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FDA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’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 burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Food Labeling Regulations—21 CFR 

Parts 101, 102, 104, and 105 (OMB 

Control Number 0910–0381)—Extension 

FDA regulations require food 

producers to disclose to consumers and 

others specific information about 

themselves or their products on the 

label or labeling of their products. 

Related regulations require that food 

producers retain records establishing 

the basis for the information contained 

in the label or labeling of their products 

and provide those records to regulatory 

officials. Finally, certain regulations 

provide for the submission of food 

labeling petitions to FDA. FDA’s food 

labeling regulations under parts 101, 

102, 104, and 105 (21 CFR parts 101, 

102, 104, and 105) were issued under 

the authority of sections 4, 5, and 6 of 

the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (the 

FPLA) (15 U.S.C. 1453, 1454, and 1455) 

and under sections 201, 301, 402, 403, 

409, 411, 701, and 721 of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) 

(21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 342, 343, 348, 350, 

371, and 379e). Most of these 

regulations derive from section 403 of 

the act, which provides that a food 

product shall be deemed to be 

misbranded if, among other things, its 

label or labeling fails to bear certain 

required information concerning the 

food product, is false or misleading in 

any particular, or bears certain types of 

unauthorized claims. The disclosure 

requirements and other collections of 

information in the regulations in parts 

101, 102, 104, and 105 are necessary to 

ensure that food products produced or 

sold in the United States are in 

compliance with the labeling provisions 

of the act and the FPLA. 

Section 101.3 of FDA’s food labeling 

regulations requires that the label of a 

food product in packaged form bear a 

statement of identity (i.e., the name of 

the product), including, as appropriate, 

the form of the food or the name of the 

food imitated. Section 101.4 prescribes 

requirements for the declaration of 

ingredients on the label or labeling of 

food products in packaged form. Section 

101.5 requires that the label of a food 

product in packaged form specify the 

name and place of business of the 

manufacturer, packer, or distributor 

and, if the food producer is not the 

manufacturer of the food product, its 

connection with the food product. 

Section 101.9 requires that nutrition 

information be provided for all food 

products intended for human 

consumption and offered for sale, unless 

an exemption in § 101.9(j) applies to the 

product. Section 101.9(g)(9) also 

provides for the submission to FDA of 

requests for alternative approaches to 

nutrition labeling. Finally, § 101.9(j)(18) 

provides for the submission to FDA of 

notices from firms claiming the small 

business exemption from nutrition 

labeling. 

Section 101.10 requires that 

restaurants provide nutrition 

information, upon request, for any food 

or meal for which a nutrient content 

claim or health claim is made. Section 

101.12(b) provides the reference amount 

that is used for determining the serving 

sizes for specific products, including 

baking powder, baking soda, and pectin. 

Section 101.12(e) provides that a 

manufacturer that adjusts the reference 

amount customarily consumed (RACC) 

of an aerated food for the difference in 

density of the aerated food relative to 

the density of the appropriate 

nonaerated reference food must be 

prepared to show FDA detailed 

protocols and records of all data that 

were used to determine the densityadjusted RACC. Section 101.12(g) 

requires that the label or labeling of a 

food product disclose the serving size 

that is the basis for a claim made for the 

product if the serving size on which the 

claim is based differs from the RACC. 

Section 101.12(h) provides for the 

submission of petitions to FDA to 

request changes in the reference 

amounts defined by regulation.
