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 January
8, 2024 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: Egg Products HACCP and Sanitation Standard Operating
Procedures.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0172.
Summary of Collection: FSIS has been delegated the authority to
exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as
specified 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 verifying
that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and properly
labeled and packaged.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires official plants to
develop and maintain HACCP and Sanitation SOP records and plans, as
well as various transaction records. The egg products industry's
documentation of its processes, first in a plan and thereafter in a
continuous record of process performance, is a more effective food
safety approach than the sporadic generating of information by
inspection program personnel. This documentation gives inspection
program personnel a much broader picture of production than they can
generate and provides them additional time to perform higher priority
tasks. At the same time, it gives plant managers a better view of their
own process and more opportunity to adjust it to prevent safety
defects. To conduct the information collection less frequently will
reduce the effectiveness of the egg products inspection program.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 132.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 76,280.
Ruth Brown,
Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
