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.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

ensuring that meat and poultry products 

are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. In 

accordance with 9 CFR 320, 381.175, 

180, 303.1(b)(3), 352.15, and 354.91, 

establishments that slaughter meat, 

poultry, exotic animals, and rabbits are 

required to maintain certain records 

regarding their business operations and 

to report this information to the Agency 

as required. For the Agency’s electronic 

Animal Disease Reporting System 

(eADRS), establishments report (by 

shift) slaughter totals in number of 

heads and weight by animal category. 

EADRS is an information system that 

tracks and reports data on the number 

of animals slaughtered, animal diseases, 

and animal welfare information in the 

United States. 

Need and Use of the Information: For 

eADRS, establishments report orally to 

FSIS inspection personnel in the plant, 

slaughter totals (by shift) in number of 

heads and weight by animal category. 

FSIS uses this information to plan 

inspection activities, to develop 

sampling plans for testing, to target 

establishments for testing, for Agency 

budget planning, and in its reports to 

Congress.
