SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA published a notice in the Federal 
Register of December 29, 2011, informing interested parties that the 
proposed collection of information entitled ``Experimental Study on 
Consumer Responses to Nutrition Facts Labels With Various Footnote 
Formats and Declaration of Amount of Added Sugars'' had been submitted 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and inviting the public to 
submit comments on the proposed study to OMB. The notice also announced 
FDA's plans to change the study by examining consumer reactions to the 
declaration of added sugars instead of the declaration of vitamins and 
minerals by weight. OMB received requests for an extension of time to 
comment on this change to the study. In response to these requests, FDA 
is providing an opportunity for comment on the current design of the 
study, including the added sugars component, by publishing a new 60-day 
notice, elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, describing the 
study as currently envisioned and inviting the public to submit 
comments to the

Agency's docket. After considering any comments received, the Agency 
will resubmit the proposed collection of information to OMB. Thus, FDA 
is withdrawing the proposed collection of information published on 
December 29, 2011, at this time.

    Dated: May 22, 2012.
