collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Industry Response to Noncompliance Records.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0146.
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 verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,
and properly labeled. If FSIS in-plant personnel discover non-
compliances with regulatory requirements they issue Noncompliance
Records (NRs). Establishment management then can respond in writing.
Need And Use of the Information: FSIS Form 5400-4 serves as FSIS's
official record of noncompliance with one or more regulatory
requirements. Inspection program personnel use the forms to document
their findings and provide written notification of the establishment's
failure to comply with regulatory requirement(s). The establishment
management receives a copy of the form and has an opportunity to
respond in writing using the Noncompliance Record form. Response by the
establishment's management is voluntary.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 7,057.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 13,996.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Certificate of Medical Examination.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0167.
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.
FSIS uses the form titled Certificate of Medical Evaluation (FSIS
4339-1) to collect information to determine whether an applicant for an
FSIS Food Inspector, Consumer Safety Inspector, or Veterinary Medical
Officer in-plant position meets the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) approved medical qualification standards. FSIS employees ask
their health care providers to complete the FSIS Form Medical
Documentation for Employee's Reasonable Accommodation Request FSIS
(4306-5) if they apply for a reasonable accommodation.
Need and USE of the Information: FSIS collects certificates of
medical examination to determine whether an applicant for a Food
Inspector, Consumer Safety Inspector, or Veterinary Medical Officer in-
plant position meets the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)-approved
medical qualification standards for the position. This form,
Certificate of Medical Evaluation (FSIS 4339-1), ensures accurate
collection of the required data. The OPM-approved medical qualification
standards apply only to positions in FSIS, not positions in other
Federal agencies.
When requesting that applicants for the positions listed above
undergo the medical examination, a representative from FSIS notifies
the applicants in writing of the reasons for the examination, the
process, and the consequences of the failure to report for an
examination or provide medical documentation. Any physical condition
which would hinder an individual's full, efficient, and safe
performance of his or her duties is considered disqualifying for
employment, except when convincing evidence is presented that the
individuals can perform the essential functions of the job efficiently
and without hazard to themselves or others.
FSIS uses the FSIS Form 4306-5, ``Medical Documentation for
Employee's Reasonable Accommodation Request,'' to help determine
whether the Agency will provide reasonable accommodation to qualified
individuals. In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008, FSIS makes
[[Page 51302]]
reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations
of qualified individuals with disabilities, unless the accommodation
would impose an undue hardship on the operation of FSIS. FSIS requires
medical information from a health care provider to determine whether
the person's condition rises to the level of disability under the law
and to determine whether the limitations can be effectively
accommodated.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 1,250.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 1,542.
