Food and Nutrition Service
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 (DGA), as
well as the tools and resources used to implement the Dietary
Guidelines--previously known as the MyPyramid food guidance system. 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. After the release of the
2010 DGA a new communication initiative built around USDA's new MyPlate
icon, including the resources at ChooseMyPlate.gov, was launched.
MyPlate is a visual cue supported by Dietary Guidelines messages to
help consumer make better food choices.
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 recommendations and messages
supporting MyPlate are understood and 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 related
resources at Choosemyplate.gov will be impaired.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 57,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as desired).
Total Burden Hours: 12,004.
