SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Food Labeling: Notification Procedures 

for Statements on Dietary 

Supplements—21 CFR 101.93 

OMB Control Number 0910–0331— 

Extension 

Section 403(r)(6) (21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6)) 

of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (FD&C Act) and § 101.93 (21 CFR 

101.93) require that, no later than 30 

days after the first marketing, we be 

notified by the manufacturer, packer, or 

distributor of a dietary supplement that 

it is marketing a dietary supplement 

product that bears on its label or in its 

labeling a statement provided for in 

section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act. In 

accordance with these requirements, 

submissions must include: (1) the name 

and address of the manufacturer, 

packer, or distributor of the dietary 

supplement product; (2) the text of the 

statement that is being made; (3) the 

name of the dietary ingredient or 

supplement that is the subject of the 

statement; (4) the name of the dietary 

supplement (including the brand name); 

and (5) the signature of a responsible 

individual or the person who can certify 

the accuracy of the information 

presented, and who must certify that the 

information contained in the notice is 

complete and accurate, and that the 

notifying firm has substantiation that 

the statement is truthful and not 

misleading. 

Our electronic form (Form FDA 3955) 

allows respondents to the information 

collection to electronically submit 

notifications to FDA via the Food 

Applications Regulatory Management 

(FARM) system. Firms that prefer to 

submit a paper notification in a format 

of their own choosing will still have the 

option to do so; however, Form FDA 

3955 prompts respondents to include 

certain elements in their structure/ 

function claim notification (SFCN) 

described in § 101.93 in a standard 

electronic format and helps respondents 

organize their SFCN to include only the 

information needed for our review of 

the claim. Note that the SFCN, whether 

electronic or paper, is used for all 

claims made pursuant to section 

403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act, including 

nutrient deficiency claims and general 

well-being claims in addition to 

structure/function claims. The 

electronic form, and any optional 

elements prepared as attachments to the 

form (e.g., label), can be submitted in 

electronic format via FARM. 

Submissions of SFCNs will continue to 

be allowed in paper format. We use this 

information to evaluate whether 

statements made for dietary ingredients 

or dietary supplements are permissible 

under section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act. 

Description of Respondents: 

Respondents to this collection of 

information include manufacturers, 

packers, or distributors of dietary 

supplements that bear section 403(r)(6) 

of the FD&C Act statements on their 

labels or labeling. 

In the Federal Register of December 2, 

2021 (86 FR 68504), FDA published a 

60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the proposed collection of 

information. No comments were 

received. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:

1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 

Based on a review of the information 

collection since our last request for 

OMB approval, we have made no 

adjustments to our burden estimate. 

This estimate is based on our experience 

with this information collection and the 

number of notifications received in the 

past 3 years, which has remained 

constant.
