DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by October
16, 2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
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: Accreditation of Laboratories, Transactions, and Exemptions.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0082.
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, and properly labeled and packaged. The Federal Meat
Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 642), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21
U.S.C. 460(b)) requires certain parties to keep records that fully and
correctly disclose all transactions involved in their businesses
related to relevant animal carcasses and part. FSIS requires FSIS
accredited non-Federal analytical laboratories to maintain certain
information collection records. FSIS collects this information using
several FSIS forms (10,000-7, 10,120-1a, 10,120-1b, 10,120-1c, and
10,120-1d).
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to
ensure that all meat and poultry establishments produce safe and
wholesome product, and that non-federal laboratories operate in
accordance with FSIS regulations. In addition, FSIS also collects
information to ensure that meat and poultry establishments exempted
from Agency inspection do not commingle inspected and non-inspected
meat and poultry products, and to ensure that retail operations
determined to have violated the requirements associated with the retail
exemptions keep sales purchase and sales records to ensure future
compliance. If the information was not collected or collected less
frequently it would reduce the effectiveness of the meat and poultry
inspection program.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 26,120.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 113,458.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
