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 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,
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 April 3,
2026 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the

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

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Marking, Labeling, and Packaging of Meat, Poultry, and Egg
Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0092.
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.), 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. FSIS is requesting
renewal of the approved information collection regarding the regulatory
requirements for marking, labeling, and packaging of meat, poultry, and
egg products.
Need and Use of the Information: This collection covers the
certification of marking devices. This collection also covers the
labeling approval process through which establishments are to submit
their labels to FSIS for approval and maintain related files. Meat and
poultry establishments and egg products plants must develop labels in
accordance with FSIS regulations (9 CFR 317.1, 381.115, 590.410, and
412.2). Unless labels are generically approved (meaning, they do not
need to be submitted to FSIS prior to use on product in commerce),
establishments must complete an application for approval (``Application
for Approval of Labels, Marking or Device,'' FSIS Form 7234-1)(9 CFR
412.1). The establishment must maintain a copy of all the labeling
used, along with product formulation and processing procedures and any
additional documentation needed to support that the labels are
consistent with FSIS regulations and policies on labeling (9 CFR
320.1(b)(11) and 381.175(b)(6)). Additionally, establishments
requesting reconsideration of a label application that the Agency has
modified or rejected under 9 CFR 500.8 submit their request using the
``Request for Label Reconsideration,'' FSIS Form 8822-4.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 255,578.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 121,867.
