Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Development of Nutrition Education 

Messages and Products for the General 

Public. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0523. 

Summary of Collection: The Center 

for Nutrition Policy and Promotion 

(CNPP) of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture conducts consumer research 

to identify key issues of concern related 

to understanding and use of the Dietary 

Guidelines for Americans and 

MyPyramid. The Dietary Guidelines, a 

primary source of dietary health 

information, are issued jointly by the 

USDA and Health and Human Services 

and serve as the cornerstone of Federal 

nutrition policy and form the basis for 

nutrition education efforts of these 

agencies. MyPyramid is a tool, which 

helps consumers understand and use 

the Dietary Guidelines. CNPP works to 

improve the health and well-being of 

Americans by developing and 

promoting dietary guidelines that links 

scientific research to the nutrition needs 

of consumers. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

CNPP will collect information to 

develop practical and meaningful 

nutrition and physical activity guidance 

for Americans to help improve their 

health. The collected information will 

also be used to expand the knowledge 

base concerning how the Dietary 

Guidelines for Americans and 

MyPyramid recommendations and 

messages are understood as well as how 

they can be used by consumers to 

improve balance of their food intake 

with physical energy expenditure for 

good health. If this information is not 

collected, USDA’s ability to incorporate 

messages and materials that are 

practical, meaningful, and relevant for 

the intended audience in any proposed 

update of the Dietary Guidelines for 

Americans or MyPyramid will be 

impaired.
