Under the provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (the 1990 amendments), animal feed producers are required, among other things, to list on food labels all of the common or usual names of all color additves required to be certified by FDA. This collection supports agency regulations requiring third-party disclosure of color additives in animal food labeling. Respondents to the collection are animal feed companies.
Implementation of regulation has been realized since initial ICR was established. The agency has now consolidated the two ICs into one. These changes are discussed more fully in the supporting statement at Q.12 and Q15.
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 benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
