The Health and Diet Survey is a
voluntary consumer survey intended to gauge and track consumer
attitudes, awareness, knowledge, and behavior regarding various
topics related to health, nutrition and physical activity. The
authority for FDA to collect the information derives from the FDA
Commissioner's authority provided in section 903(d)(2) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)). FDA and
other Federal agencies will use the information from the Health and
Diet Survey to evaluate and develop strategies and programs to
encourage and help consumers adopt healthy lifestyles. The
information will also help the FDA and other Federal agencies
evaluate and track consumer awareness and behavior as outcome
measures of their achievement in improving public health.
This collection is being
revised as a generic collection. The inventory for both burden
hours and annual responses has increased. This is explained more
fully in Q15 of the agency's supporting statement part A.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a

If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
