July 3, 2018 Submitted via www.Regulations.gov U.S. Department of Agriculture Docket Clerk 1400 Independence Ave. SW Room 4543-South Washington, DC 20260 Re:AMS Proposed Rule on National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard; Docket No. AMS-TM-17-0050 To Whom It May Concern: The American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Services (AMSs) proposed rule implementing the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS). From manufacturers to distributors to suppliers to packagers, AFFI is proud to represent publicly traded and family-owned companies who help produce frozen foods and beverages for todays food service and retail marketplace and serve as economic pillars within their communities throughout the U.S. In fact, the frozen food industry contributes approximately $56 billion to U.S. GDP and accounts for 670,000 U.S. jobs. In addition to our members strong role in economic growth, AFFI members share a commitment to transparently communicating information about the food production process to consumers and contributing to a safe and affordable food supply. AFFI supports the establishment of a NBFDS to facilitate a national uniform approach for the disclosure of bioengineered foods. We thank AMS for its careful consideration of comments submitted last summer in response to the 30 questions posed by the agency, and for its work in drafting the proposed rule on a complex set of issues. Below we provide an executive summary followed by our more detailed comments. Please find attached more detailed comments on this proposed rule. Best regards, Donna Garren Executive Vice President, Science & Policy
