Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Specified Risk Materials.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0129.
Summary of Collection: FSIS has been delegated the authority to
exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as

their procedures for the removal, segregation, and disposition of SRMs,
as well as any corrective actions that they take to ensure that the
procedures are effective (9 CFR 310.22(e)).
FSIS also requires official slaughter establishments that transport
carcasses or parts of cattle 30 months of age and older and containing
vertebral columns to other federally inspected establishments to ensure
that the carcasses and parts are accompanied by documentation stating
that they contain vertebral columns from such cattle, to maintain
records identifying the establishments that receive the carcasses and
parts, and to maintain records verifying that the receiving
establishments removed and properly disposed of the portions of the
vertebral column designated as SRMs (9 CFR 310.22(g)).
