Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Modernization of Swine Slaughter Inspection.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0171.
Summary of Collection: The 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.). This statute mandates
that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat products are safe,
wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS
amended the Federal meat inspection regulations to establish a new
inspection system for market hog slaughter establishments that has been
demonstrated to provide equivalent or greater public health protection
than the existing inspection system. The Agency also made several
changes to the regulations that would affect all establishments that
slaughter any swine, regardless of the inspection system under which
they operate or the age, size, or class of swine.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to
ensure that all establishments operating under the New Swine Slaughter
Inspection System (NSIS) monitor their systems through microbial
testing and recordkeeping. Establishments operating under NSIS are
required to (1) identify animals or carcasses that establishment
personnel have sorted and removed for disposal before FSIS inspection
with a unique tag, tattoo, or similar device, (2) maintain records to
document the total number of animals and carcasses sorted and removed
per day and the reasons for their removal, and (3) maintain records
documenting that products resulting from their slaughter operations
meet the new definition of RTC pork product.
Furthermore, FSIS will collection information to ensure that each
establishment operating under the NSIS submit on an annual basis an
attestation to the management member of the local FSIS circuit safety
committee stating that it maintains a program to monitor and document
any work-related conditions of establishment workers.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 84.
