in Nutrition Labeling

Dear Sir or Madam:

     I have attached to this message a PDF from text version of the
Comments of the Staff of the Bureau of Economics, the Bureau of Consumer
Protection, and the Office of Policy Planning of the Federal Trade
Commission, before the Food and Drug Administration in Docket No.
2003N-0076, In the Matter of Food Labeling:  Trans Fatty Acids in
Nutrition Labeling; Consumer Research to Consider Nutrient Content and
Health Claims and Possible Footnote or Disclosure Statements; Reopening
of the Comment Period.  Earlier today, I also filed a copy of these
Comments through the FDA Electronic Filing System, and it has been
designated as Temporary Comment Number 2230.  We are also placing in the
U.S. Mail, for delivery to FDA via Express Mail, the signed original of
these Comments.  Please call me at the following number if you have any
difficulty opening this PDF, or if I should also send the attached copy
to any other email address.  Thank you for your attention.
