Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) administers the 

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 

(Title II of the Act of August 14, 1946). 

P.L. 114–216 amended the Agricultural 

Marketing Act of 1946, directing the 

Secretary of Agriculture to establish the 

National Bioengineered Food Disclosure 

Standard (7 CFR 66) for disclosing 

certain foods that are bioengineered or 

contain bioengineered ingredients. The 

final rule (National Bioengineered Food 

Disclosure Standard [7 CFR 66]) fulfils 

USDA’s need to establish requirements 

and procedures to carry out the new 

standard. P.L. 114–216 also addressed 

Federal preemption of State and local 

genetic engineering labeling 

requirements and specifies that 

certification of food under USDA’s 

National Organic Program (7 CFR 205) 

were considered sufficient to make 

claims about the absence of 

bioengineering in the food. AMS 

gathered industry input and conducted 

rulemaking on the National 

Bioengineered Food Disclosure 

Standards. In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520), AMS is publishing 

this a 60-day notice on reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements related to 

the National Bioengineered Food 

Disclosure Standard. This collection 

represents a total burden of 353,952 

hours. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 2.3 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers, food 

manufacturers, and food retailers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

155,098. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

155,098. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 353,952 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,
