Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Sanitation SOP's Pathogen Reduction/Hazard Analysis and
Critical Control Point (HACCP).
OMB Control Number: 0583-0103.
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) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C.
451). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying
that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome-, and properly
labeled and packaged. FSIS has established requirements applicable to
meat and poultry establishments designed to reduce the occurrence and
numbers of pathogenic microorganisms on meat and poultry products,
reduce the incidence of foodborne illness associated with the
consumption of those products, and provide a new framework for
modernization of the current system of meat and poultry inspection.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to
ensure that (1) establishments have developed and maintained a standard
operating plan for sanitation that is used by inspection personnel in
performing monitoring regulations; (2) establishments have developed
written procedures outlining specimen collection and handling for
E.coli process control verification testing; (3) establishments
developed written HAACP plans; (4) establishments will keep records for
measurements during slaughter and processing, corrective action,
verification check results, and related activities that contain the
identity of the product, the product code or slaughter production lot,
and the date the record was made; (5) establishments may have
prerequisite programs that are designed to provide the basic
environmental and operating conditions necessary for the production of
safe, wholesome food; and (6) establishments maintain and are able to
supply upon request the following information concerning the suppliers
of source materials; the name, point of contact, and phone number for
the establishment supplying the source materials for the lot of ground
beef sampled; and the supplier lot numbers, production dates, and other
information that would be useful to know about suppliers.

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Procedures for the Notification of New Technology and
Requests for Waivers.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0127.
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 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by ensuring that meat, poultry and egg products are safe,
wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS
established flexible procedures to actively encourage the development
and use of new technologies in meat and poultry establishments and egg
products plants. These procedures facilitate notification to the Agency
of any new technology that is intended for use in meat and poultry
establishments and egg products plants so that the Agency can decide
whether the new technology requires a pre-use review. A pre-use review
often includes an in-plant trail.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to
determine if a pre-use review is needed, FSIS will request that the
firm submit a protocol for an in-plant trial of the new technology. The
firm then must submit a protocol that is designed to collect relevant
data to support the use of the new technology. To not collect this
information would reduce the effectiveness of the meat, poultry, and
egg products inspection program.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 210.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: on occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 12,800.

wholesome, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS requires nutrition

refused entry product is stored and segregated from other product at an
official import inspection establishment until final disposition

of Field Operations (OFO) District Office (DO).
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS IPP uses the information
