Original Constituent Update Issued October 15, 2015
REGULATIONS.GOV Technical Difficulties Have Prevented Submission of Some Comments to FDA Dockets, Including Comments Concerning the Supplemental NFL Proposal
We are aware of the technical problems that regulations.gov has been experiencing, which has affected rulemaking government-wide. This situation prevented some people from filing comments electronically on the supplemental proposed rule for the Nutrition Facts Label and on consumer studies associated with the rulemaking. The comment period closed on October 13, 2015.
We have been monitoring this situation closely. Your comments are important to us. We intend to announce as soon as possible in the Federal Register that we will reopen the comment period for a brief time to allow for comments to be submitted through regulations.gov.
For more information, see Proposed Changes to the Nutrition Facts Label.
