Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and approval
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,

to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: New Swine Inspection System.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0171.
Summary of Collection: The Food Safety and Inspection Service
(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 renewal
of the approved information collection regarding swine

slaughter inspection. On February 19, 2026, FSIS published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking that would remove an attestation-related element of
the collection, resulting in a reduction in the estimated burden. This
revision aligns with the proposed rule and reflects the updated burden
estimate.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires that all swine
slaughter establishments operating under the New Swine Slaughter
Inspection System (NSIS) monitor their systems through microbial
testing and recordkeeping. Swine slaughter establishments operating
under NSIS must also maintain records to document the total number of
animals and carcasses sorted and removed per day and the reasons for
their removal. Swine slaughter establishments may record their
disposition data on FSIS Form 6200-3, Establishment Sorting Record, or
provide the same information as requested on the form electronically if
it is submitted in a format approved by FSIS.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 84.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 4,347.
