Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection
    OMB CONTROL Number: 0583-0156
    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 Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) 
(21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 
public by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
and properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires that all poultry 
slaughter establishments develop, implement, and maintain, as part of 
their HACCP plans, or Sanitation SOPs, or other prerequisite programs, 
written procedures to prevent contamination of carcasses and parts by 
enteric pathogens, e.g., Salmonella and Campylobacter, and fecal 
material throughout the entire slaughter and dressing operation. FSIS 
requires that these procedures include sampling for microbial organisms 
at the pre-chill and post-chill points in the process to monitor 
establishments' process control for enteric pathogens, except for low 
volume establishments that are required to test only at post-chill. If 
the information was not collected or collected less frequently it would 
reduce the effectiveness of the poultry products inspection program.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 289.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 191,204.
