[R-pkg-devel] Get an empty note for "checking DESCRIPTION meta-information" when I run devtools::build_win()

I am working through my first package submission.  When I checked my package using devtools::build_win(), I got no errors and two notes.  One note is simply the expected note that my package is a new submission.  My second note involves DESCRIPTION meta-information, but nothing is printed so I don't know what to focus on.  I have copied the important parts of my 00check.log from CRAN below for context.  What areas of my DESCRIPTION file might create such an empty note?  Thanks in advance for any help you might give me.
