DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
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 December
15, 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 particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Petitions for Rulemaking.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0136.
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. The Administrative
Procedures Act requires that Federal agencies give interested persons
the right to petition for issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule (5
U.S.C. 553 (e)). FSIS has regulations (9 CFR 392) governing petitions
to the Agency to issue, amend, or repeal its regulations.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will use the information
associated with petitions to assess the merits of the petition and to
determine whether to issue, amend, or repeal its regulations. If the
information is not collected or collected less frequently, it would
reduce the effectiveness of the meat, poultry, and egg products
inspection program.
