including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by
September 1, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the
following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Consumer Complaint Monitoring System.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0133.
Summary of Collection: The Food Safety and Inspection Service
(FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of
the Secretary as provided in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21
U.S.C. 451 et seq.), and the Egg Product Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS tracks consumer
complaints about meat, poultry, and egg products. Consumer complaints
are usually filed because food made the consumer sick, caused an
allergic reaction, was not properly labeled (misbranded).
Need and Use of the Information: The Consumer Complaint Monitoring
System web portal is used primarily to track consumer complaints
regarding meat, poultry, and egg products. FSIS will use the
information collected from the web portal. To not collect the
information from the web portal would reduce the effectiveness of the
meat, poultry, and egg products inspection program.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 750.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat and Poultry Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0135.
Summary of Collection: The Food Safety and Inspection Service
(FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of
the Secretary as provided in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21
U.S.C. 451 et seq.) These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public
by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. A firm that has
produced or imported meat or poultry that is adulterated or misbranded
and is being distributed in commerce, may voluntarily recall the
product in question. When a firm voluntarily recalls a product, FSIS
will conduct a recall effectiveness check.
Need and Use of the Information: In conducting a recall, the
establishment will be asks to provide FSIS with some basic information,
including the identity of the recalled product, the reason for the
recall, and information about the distributors and customers of the
product. Industry representatives use the FSIS Form 5020-3 FSIS
Preliminary Inquiry Worksheet to provide firm contact information and
specific details regarding adulterated or misbranded product in
commerce, including product identifiers, product amounts and
supplemental information. Recalling firms and distributors then use the
FSIS Form 5020-4 FSIS Recall Distribution Information Template to
provide the location and contact information of consignees who received
recalled product. FSIS will check on the effectiveness of the recall to
ensure that all products subject to recall are accounted for. FSIS
field personnel will use FSIS form 8400-4 A to determine (1) if the
retail consignee received notification of the recall and (2) the number
of recalled products received. FSIS field personnel will also use FSIS
form 8400-4 B to verify that product held by the retail consignee was
properly disposed.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6,090.
Frequency of responses: Reporting: On Occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 6,600.

U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS also inspects
exotic animals and rabbits under the authority
[[Page 41434]]
of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621 et
seq.). In accordance with 9 CFR 320.6, 381.180, 352.15, and 354.91,
establishments that slaughter meat, poultry, exotic animals, and
rabbits are required to maintain certain records regarding their
business operations and to report this information to the Agency as
required.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information from
establishments using FSIS Form 6510-7, Poultry Lot Information. Poultry
