(a) REPORT- (1) IN GENERAL- At least five years the Secretaries shall
publish a report entitled `Dietary Guidelines for Americans.' Each such
report shall contain nutritional and dietary information and guidelines
for the general public, and shall be promoted by each Federal agency in
carrying out any Federal food, nutrition, or health program.
(2) BASIS OF GUIDELINES- The information and guidelines contained in each
report required under paragraph (1) shall be based on the preponderance
of the scientific and medical knowledge which is current at the time the
report is prepared.
(b) APPROVAL BY SECRETARIES- (1) REVIEW- Any Federal agency that proposes
to issue any dietary guidance for the general population or identified
population subgroups shall submit the text of such guidance to the
Secretaries for a 60-day review period.
(2) BASIS OF REVIEW- (A) IN GENERAL- During the sixty-day review period
established in paragraph (1), the Secretaries shall review and approve or
disapprove such guidance to assure that the guidance either is consistent
with the `Dietary Guidelines for Americans' or that the guidance is based
on medical or new scientific knowledge which is determined to be valid by
the Secretaries. If after such sixty-day period neither Secretary notifies
the proposing agency that such guidance has been disapproved, then such
guidance may be issued by the agency. If both Secretaries disapprove of
such guidance, it shall be returned to the agency. If either Secretary
finds that such guidance is inconsistent with the `Dietary Guidelines for
Americans' and so notifies the proposing agency, such agency shall follow
the procedures set forth in this subsection before disseminating such
proposal to the public in final form. If after such sixty-day period,
either Secretary disapproves such guidance as inconsistent with the
`Dietary Guidelines for Americans' the proposing agency shall--
(i) publish a notice in the Federal Register of the availability of the
full text of the proposal and the preamble of such proposal which shall
explain the basis and purpose for the proposed dietary guidance;
(ii) provide in such notice for a public comment period of thirty days; and
(iii) make available for public inspection and copying during normal
business hours any comment received by the agency during such comment period.
(B) REVIEW OF COMMENTS- After review of comments received during the
comment period either Secretary may approve for dissemination by the
proposing agency a final version of such dietary guidance along with an
explanation of the basis and purpose for the final guidance which addresses
significant and substantive comments as determined by the proposing agency.
(C) ANNOUNCEMENT- Any such final dietary guidance to be disseminated under
subparagraph (B) shall be announced in a notice published in the Federal
Register, before public dissemination along with an address where copies
may be obtained.
(D) NOTIFICATION OF DISAPPROVAL- If after the thirty-day period for comment
as provided under subparagraph (A)(ii), both Secretaries disapprove a
proposed dietary guidance, the Secretaries shall notify the Federal agency
submitting such guidance of such disapproval, and such guidance may not
be issued, except as provided in subparagraph (E).
(E) REVIEW OF DISAPPROVAL- If a proposed dietary guidance is disapproved
by both Secretaries under subparagraph (D), the Federal agency proposing
such guidance may, within fifteen days after receiving notification of such
disapproval under subparagraph (D), request the Secretaries to review such
disapproval. Within fifteen days after receiving a request for such a review,
the Secretaries shall conduct such review. If, pursuant to such review,
either Secretary approves such proposed dietary guidance, such guidance
may be issued by the Federal agency.
(3) LIMITATION ON DEFINITION OF GUIDANCE- For purposes of this subsection,
the term `dietary guidance for the general population' does not include
any rule or regulation issued by a Federal agency.
(4) DEFINITION OF IDENTIFIED POPULATION SUBGROUPS- For purposes of this
subsection, the term `identified population subgroups' shall include,
but not be limited to, groups based on factors such as age, sex, or race.
(c) EXISTING AUTHORITY NOT AFFECTED- This section does not place any
limitations on--
(1) the conduct or support of any scientific or medical research by any
Federal agency;
(2) the presentation of any scientific or medical findings or the exchange
or review of scientific or medical information by any Federal agency; or
(3) the authority of the Food and Drug Administration under the provisions
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321 et seq.).
