Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Child Nutrition Labeling 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0261 

Summary of Collection: The Child 

Nutrition Labeling Program is a 

voluntary technical assistance program 

administered by the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS). The program 

is designed to aid schools and 

institutions participating in the National 

School Lunch Program, the School 

Breakfast Program, the Child and Adult 

Care Food Program, and the Summer 

Food Service Program by, determining 

the contribution a commercial product 

makes towards the meal pattern 

requirements. Legislative authority for 

the programs is covered under The 

National School Lunch Act (NSLA); 

Public Law 90–302 enacted in 1968 

amended the NSLA establishing the 

Special Food Service Program for 

Children. In 1975 Congress separated 

the Child Care Food Program and 

Summer Food Service components of 

the SFAPFC and provided each with 

legislative authorization.

The Child Nutrition Labeling Program 

is implemented in conjunction with 

existing label approval programs 

administered by the Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS), and the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (DoC). To 

participate in the CN Labeling Program, 

industry submits labels to AMS of 

products that are in conformance with 

the FSIS label approval program (for 

meat and poultry), and the DoC label 

approval program (for seafood 

products). 

Need and Use of the Information: 

AMS uses the information collected to 

aid school food authorities and other 

institutions participating in child 

nutrition programs in determining the 

contribution a commercial product 

makes towards the established meal 

pattern requirements. AMS uses all of 

the collected information to give the 

submitted label an approval status that 

indicates if the label can be used as part 

of the CN Labeling Program. Without 

the information CN Labeling Program 

would have no basis on which to 

determine how or if a product meets the 

meal pattern requirements.

or other for-profit.

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Electronic Import Inspection. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–0159. 

Summary of Collection: The Food 

Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has 

been delegated the authority to exercise 

the functions of the Secretary as 

provided in the Federal Meat Inspection 

Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the 

Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) 

(21 U.S.C. 451, et. seq.), and the Egg 

Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 

U.S.C. 1031). These statues mandate 

that FSIS protect the public by verifying 

that meat and poultry products are safe, 

wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS requires foreign governments to 

submit additional information when 

submitting both the foreign 

establishment certificate and the foreign 

inspection certificate to FSIS in order 

for foreign establishments to be 

permitted to import product to the 

United States. The information that is 

required with the Foreign Establishment 

Certificate includes: The type of 

operation(s) conducted at the 

establishment (e.g., slaughter, 

processing, storage, exporting 

warehouse); the establishment’s 

eligibility status (e.g., new or relisted (if 

previously delisted)); and, slaughter and 

processing establishment certifications 

that address the species and type of 

product(s) produced at the 

establishment and the process category. 

Additional information that is required 

with the Foreign Inspection Certificate 

includes: The species used to produce 

the product and the source country and 

foreign establishment number; whether 

the source materials originate from a 

country other than the exporting 

country; the product’s description, 

including the process category, the 

product category, and the product 

group; the address of the consignor; the 

address of the consignee; the name and 

address of the exporter; the name and 

address of the importer; and, any 

additional information the 

Administrator requests to determine 

whether the product is eligible to be 

imported into the U.S. FSIS also 

requires official import inspection 

establishments to develop, implement, 

and maintain written Sanitation 

Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), 

as provided in 9 CFR 416.11 through 

416.17. The Import Inspection 

Application (FSIS Form 9540–1) is 

available to applicants that do not file 

this information electronically. To 

conduct the information collection less 

frequently would inhibit the ability of 

FSIS to ensure that imported products 

are safe, wholesome and not 

adulterated.

or other for-profit.
