Comments regarding this information collection received by May 19,
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the

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: Analyzing Consumers' Value of ``Product of USA'' Labeling
Claims.
OMB Control Number: 0583-New.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's
(USDA's) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been delegated
the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18,
2.53), as specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21
U.S.C. 601, et seq.) and Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 453
et seq.). This statute mandates that FSIS protect the public by
verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. The FSIS Food
Standards and Labeling Policy Book (the ``Policy Book'') provides
guidance to help meat and poultry product manufacturers prepare product
labels that are truthful and not misleading.
The ``Policy Book'' states that labeling may bear the phrase
``Product of USA'' under one of the following conditions: (1) If the
country to which the product is exported requires this phrase, and the
product is processed in the United States or (2) if the product is
processed in the United States (i.e., is of domestic origin).
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will conduct a web-based
survey/experiment that will address three primary research questions:
(1) Do consumers notice the ``Product of USA'' labeling claim?; (2) Do
consumers understand the current ``Product of USA'' definition and
other ``USDA'' labeling (e.g., ``USDA Choice'') as it relates to
country of origin?; and (3) How much are consumers willing to pay for
meat products bearing the ``Product of USA'' labeling claim for the
current definition and potential revised definitions (e.g., if the meat
were from an animal that was born, raised, slaughtered, and processed
in the United States)?
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 9,873.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 1,815.
Dated: April 14, 2022.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
