collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB

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: Electronic Import Inspection.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0159.
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 Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031). These statues mandate that FSIS protect the public by
verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, and
properly labeled and packaged.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires foreign governments
to submit additional information when submitting both the foreign
establishment certificate and the foreign inspection certificate to
FSIS for foreign establishments to be permitted to import product to
the United States. The information that is required with the Foreign
Establishment Certificate includes: the type of operation(s) conducted
at the establishment (e.g., slaughter, processing, storage, exporting
warehouse); the establishment's eligibility status (e.g., new or
relisted (if previously delisted)); and, slaughter and processing
establishment certifications that address the species and type of
product(s) produced at the establishment and the process category.
Additional information that is required with the Foreign Inspection
Certificate includes: the species used to produce the product and the
source country and foreign establishment number; whether the source
materials originate from a country other than the exporting country;
the product's description, including the process category, the product
category, and the product group; the address of the consignor; the
address of the consignee; the name and address of the exporter; the
name and address of the importer;
[[Page 69242]]
and, any additional information the Administrator requests to determine
whether the product is eligible to be imported into the U.S.
To conduct the information collections less frequently would
inhibit the ability of FSIS to ensure that imported product is safe,
wholesome, and not adulterated.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 939.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion;
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 49,385.
