SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Permit to Transport Undenatured Inedible Meat Products.
OMB Number: 0583-0179.
Type of Request: Renewal of an approved information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the authority to exercise the
functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the
Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This
statute mandates that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat
and meat products are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled.
FSIS is requesting a renewal of the approved information collection
regarding permits to transport domestic undenatured inedible meat
products. The approval for this information collection will expire on
March 31, 2026. FSIS is making no changes to the information
collection.
Under the regulations at 9 CFR 325.11(e), official establishments
are to apply in writing to their District Office to obtain a permit for
the transport of undenatured inedible meat products in commerce. The
application is to indicate the name and address of the applicant, a
description of the type of business operations, and the purpose of
making such application. FSIS has made the following estimates based on
an information collection assessment:
Respondents: Official Establishments.
Estimated total number of respondents: 150.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 87 hours.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record. Copies of this information collection assessment can be
obtained from Gina Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development,
Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW,
Mailstop 3758, South Building, Washington, DC 20250-3700; 202-720-5046.
Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of FSIS' functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of FSIS' estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the method and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of information technology. Comments may be
sent to both FSIS, at the addresses provided above, and the Desk
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
