partially cooked meat and poultry 

products since 1994 (59 FR 7217). 

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS will collect information using 

focus groups to test new labels for safe 

handling of raw and partially cooked 

meat and poultry products. In Phase 1, 

new label designs will initially be tested 

in consumer focus groups to obtain 

qualitative feedback on the labels, and 

the findings will be used to refine the 

label design and messaging. FSIS is 

requesting approval for a new 

information collection to conduct Phase 

1, consumer focus groups. If the 

information was not collected or 

collected less frequently it would 

reduce the effectiveness of the meat and 

poultry inspection program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose: USDA seeks public input on 

its plans for enhancing policy, 

infrastructure, and outreach to make 

results of the research it funds more 

readily available and accessible by the 

public. 

Background: USDA developed a 

public access plan in response to the 

February 22, 2013 OSTP memorandum 

entitled ‘‘Increasing Access to the 

Results of Federally Funded Scientific 

Research’’ and several White House 

memoranda. Current USDA policy and 

activities were developed from that 

original plan. On August 25, 2022, 

OSTP issued a new public access 

memorandum: ‘‘Ensuring Free, 

Immediate, and Equitable Access to 

Federally Funded Research.’’ In 

response to OSTP’s 2022 memo, USDA 

will enhance policy, infrastructure, and 

outreach to make its scientific data and 

publications more readily available and 

accessible by the public, as described 

generally in the new plan, which can be 

viewed at: https://www.nal.usda.gov/ 

services/public-access/. This listening 

effort, organized by the National 

Agricultural Library on behalf of the 

USDA Office of the Chief Scientist, 

allows stakeholders the opportunity to 

provide feedback on USDA’s plan and 

to inform details of its policy-making 

and other implementation. The USDA 

Public Access plan and policies apply to 

the results of research funded wholly or 

in part by any USDA component 

agency. USDA provides the questions 

listed below to prompt feedback and 

comments. USDA encourages public 

comment on any or all of these 

questions, and also seeks any other 

information that commenters believe is 

relevant. The questions to enhance 

public access of USDA-funded research 

outcomes are: 

• How can USDA best implement its 

plans to improve public access to 

USDA-funded research results? 

• How can USDA update or refine its 

policies to improve public access to 

USDA-funded research results? 

• How can USDA ensure equity in 

publication opportunities? 

• How can USDA use partnerships to 

improve public access and accessibility 

to results of USDA-funded research? 

• How can USDA monitor impacts on 

communities impacted by its public 

access policies?
