    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

[[Page 68836]]

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.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 262.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as needed).
    Total Burden Hours: 262.
