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
21, 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: Consumer Complaint Monitoring System.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0133.
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 and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
and properly labeled. FSIS tracks consumer complaints about meat,
poultry, and egg products. Consumer complaints are usually filed
because food made the consumer sick, caused an allergic reaction, was
not properly labeled (misbranded), or contained a foreign object. The
Agency uses a web portal to capture consumer complaint information.
Need and Use of the Information: The Consumer Complaint Monitoring
System web portal is used primarily to track consumer complaints
regarding meat, poultry, and egg products. FSIS will use the
information collected from the web portal. To not collect the
information from the web portal would reduce the effectiveness of the
meat, poultry, and egg products inspection program.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 750.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat and Poultry Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0135.
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.) and 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,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. A firm that has
produced or imported meat or poultry that is adulterated or misbranded
and is being distributed in commerce, may voluntarily recall the
product in question. Under the FMIA, firms are required to keep such
records that fully and correctly disclose all transactions in their
business (21 U.S.C. 642). Under the PPIA, firms are required to keep
such records as are properly necessary for the effective enforcement of
the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 460(b)).
Need and Use of the Information: When meat or poultry in commerce
is adulterated or misbranded, FSIS requests that the establishment that
produced the product voluntarily recall the product in question. In
conducting a recall, the Agency asks the establishment to provide it
with some basic information, including the identity of the recalled
product, the reason for the recall, and information about the
distributors and customers of the product. Industry representatives use
the FSIS Form 5020-3 FSIS Preliminary Inquiry Worksheet to provide firm
contact information and specific details regarding adulterated or
misbranded product in commerce, including product identifiers, product
amounts and supplemental information. Recalling firms and distributors
then use the FSIS Form 5020-4 FSIS Recall Distribution Information
Template to provide the location and contact information of consignees
who received recalled product. The FSIS Forms 5020-3 and 5020-4 were
developed to assist the respondents in collecting some of the basic
information they have always been required to provide FSIS. FSIS uses
this information to notify the public concerning product subject to a
recall and to check on the effectiveness of the recall.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6,090.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On Occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 6,600.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Animal Disposition Reporting.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0139.
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
[[Page 77076]]
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and 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. FSIS also inspects exotic animals and
rabbits under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946,
as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.). In accordance with 9 CFR 320.6,
381.180, 352.15, and 354.91, establishments that slaughter meat,
poultry, exotic animals, and rabbits are required to maintain certain
records regarding their business operations and to report this
information to the Agency as required.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS uses this information to plan
inspection activities, to develop sampling plans, to target
establishments for testing, to develop the Agency budget, and to
develop reports to Congress. FSIS also provides this data to other USDA
agencies, including the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), and the Grain Inspection, Packers
and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), for their publications and for
other functions.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 1,159.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On Occasion; Daily.

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Requirements to Notify FSIS of Adulterated or Misbranded
Product, Prepare and Maintain Written Recall Procedures, and Document
Certain HACCP Plan Reassessments.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0144.
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.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21
U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. Section 11017 of the
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, 112 Stat.
1651, 448-49), amended the FMIA and the PPIA by adding sections 12 and
13 to the FMIA and by amending section 10 of the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 459).
These sections require official establishments that believe they have
shipped into commerce or received adulterated or misbranded product to
notify the Secretary of Agriculture. In addition, establishments are to
prepare and maintain current recall procedures, document each
reassessment of its HACCP plan, and make the recall procedures and
written records of the establishment's HACCP plan reassessments
available for official review and copying.
Need and Use of the Information: Official establishments are to
document each time they reassess their HACCP plans and make the
reassessments available to FSIS officials for review and copying.
Official establishments are to notify the FSIS District Office that
they have received or have shipped into commerce misbranded or
adulterated product. The information collected will permit FSIS
officials to monitor closely establishments HACCP plan reassessments
and to facilitate recalls or adulterated or misbranded product.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6,300.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 9,960.
