SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Industry Responses to Noncompliance Records.
OMB Number: 0583-0146.
Type of Request: Request to renew an approved information
collection.
Abstract: 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.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and
the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These
statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat,
poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is requesting a renewal of the approved information collection
regarding industry responses to noncompliance records. The approval for
this information collection will expire on November 30, 2022. FSIS is
making no changes to the existing information collection.
The noncompliance record, FSIS Form 5400-4, serves as FSIS'
official record of noncompliance with one or more regulatory
requirements. Inspection program personnel use the form to document
their findings and provide written notification of the official
establishment's or plant's failure to comply with regulatory
requirements. The establishment or plant management receives a copy of
the form and has an opportunity to respond in writing using the
noncompliance record form. The establishment or plant management can
also choose to respond to FSIS electronically by using the Industry
Module in PHIS.
FSIS has made the following estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of burden: FSIS estimates that it will take respondents an
average of 60 minutes per response.
Respondents: Official establishments.
Estimated total number of respondents: 7,057.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 17.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 119,969 hours.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record. Copies of this information collection assessment can be
obtained from Gina Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development,
Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW,
Mailstop 3758, South Building, Washington, DC 20250-3700; (202) 720-
5627.
Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of FSIS' functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of FSIS' estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the method and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of information technology. Comments may be
sent to both FSIS, at the addresses provided above, and the Desk
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Washington, DC 20253.
