SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Child Nutrition Labeling Program. 

OMB Number: 0581–0261 . 

Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years 

from approval. 

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 to aid 

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) in determining 

the contribution a commercial product 

makes toward the food-based meal 

pattern requirements of these programs. 

(See Appendix C to 7 CFR parts 210, 

220, 225, and 226 for more information 

on this program). The existence of 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. However, there is no Federal 

requirement that commercial products 

must have a CN label statement in order 

to be included in meals served by 

schools and institutions. AMS officially 

opened the CN Labeling Program 

Operations Office on January 19, 2010. 

To participate in the Child Nutrition 

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 toward the food-based meal 

pattern requirements. The application 

form submitted to AMS is the same 

application form that a manufacturer 

submits to 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 

and 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: 

110. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

2530. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 23. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 632.50 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 

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 those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
