[Docket No. 00N–1575]

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Proposed Collection;

Comment Request; Nutrition Labeling;

Declaration of Caloric Amounts and

Serving Sizes for Breath Mints

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

information collection requirements

regarding the nutrition labeling of

breath mints.

DATES: Submit written or electronic

comments on the collection of

information by February 5, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic

comments on the collection of

information to http://

www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/oc/

dockets/edockethome.cfm. Submit

written comments on the collection of

information to the Dockets Management

Branch (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:

Peggy Schlosburg, Office of Information

Resources Management (HFA–250),

Food and Drug Administration, 5600

Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,

301–827–1223.

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: (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.

Nutrition Labeling; Declaration of

Caloric Amounts and Serving Sizes for

Breath Mints—21 CFR 101.9(b) and

101.9(c)(1) (OMB Control Number

0910–0364)—Extension

Section 403(q) of the Federal Food,

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21

U.S.C. 343(q)) requires that the label or

labeling of a food bear nutrition

information, including information on:

(1) The serving size and number of

servings per container, and (2) the

number of calories present in a serving

of the food. Under FDA’s nutrition

labeling regulations in § 101.9(d)(3) (21

CFR 101.9(d)(3)), the nutrition facts

panel of the food label must disclose the

serving size of the food product and the

number of servings in each package.

Under § 101.9(c)(1), the nutrition facts

panel must disclose the number of

calories present in a serving of the food.

In the Federal Register of December

30, 1997 (62 FR 67775), FDA published

a proposed rule to amend the nutrition

labeling regulations by changing the

label serving size for the product

category ‘‘Hard candies, breath mints’’

to one unit. FDA proposed this change

in response to a petition to provide a

serving size for breath mints that more

accurately reflects the amount

customarily consumed per eating

occasion. In a related issue, FDA also

proposed to: (1) Modify the rounding

rules for calories to allow the

declaration of caloric amounts of less

than 5 calories on the nutrition label,
