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 November 
19, 2026 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of 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 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Accreditation of Laboratories, Transactions, and Exemptions.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0082.
    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. The Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 
U.S.C. 642), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 460 (b)) 
require certain parties to keep records that clearly show every 
business transaction involving animal carcasses and parts.
    FSIS requires FSIS accredited non-Federal analytical laboratories 
to maintain certain information collection records. FSIS collects this 
information using FSIS forms 10,000-7, 10,120-1a, 10,120-1b, 10,120-1c, 
and 10,120-1d.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS collects information to 
ensure that non-federal laboratories operate in accordance with FSIS 
regulations. In addition, FSIS also collects information to ensure that 
meat and poultry establishments exempted from Agency inspection do not 
commingle inspected and non-inspected meat and poultry products, and to 
ensure that retail operations determined to have violated the 
requirements associated with retail exemptions keep sales purchase and 
sales records to ensure future compliance. If the information was not 
collected or collected less frequently it would reduce the 
effectiveness of FSIS inspection programs.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 26,120.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 113,458.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
