SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Egg 

Products Hazard Analysis and Critical 

Control Point and Sanitation Standard 

Operating Procedures 

OMB Number: 0583–0172. 

Expiration Date of Approval: January 

31, 2024. 

Type of Request: Renewal of an 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 

authority to exercise the functions of the 

Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified 

in the Egg Products Inspection Act 

(EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). This 

statute mandates that FSIS protect the 

public by verifying that egg products are 

safe, wholesome, and properly labeled 

and packaged. 

FSIS is requesting renewal of the 

approved information collection 

regarding egg products HACCP and 

Sanitation SOPs. There are no changes 

to the information collection. The 

approval for this information collection 

will expire on January 31, 2024. 

FSIS requires official plants to 

develop and maintain HACCP plans and 

Sanitation SOPs, as well as various 

transaction records. The plant maintains 

on file the name and a brief resume of 

the HACCP trained individuals who 

participate in the hazard analysis and 

subsequent development of the HACCP 

plans. Plants develop written HACCP 

plans that include: identification of 

hazards reasonably likely to occur in the 

production process; identification and 

description of the critical control point 

(CCP) for each identified hazard; 

specification of the critical limit which 

may not be exceeded at the CCP, and, 

if appropriate, a target limit; description 

of the monitoring procedure or device to 

be used; description of the corrective 

action to be taken if the limit is 

exceeded; description of the records 

which would be generated and 

maintained regarding this CCP; and 

description of the facility verification 

activities and the frequency at which 

they are to be conducted. The adequacy 

of a plant’s HACCP plan must be 

reassessed at least annually and 

whenever changes occur that could 

affect the hazard analysis or alter the 

HACCP plan. 

Each processor is also required to 

develop and maintain a Sanitation SOP. 

The Sanitation SOP specifies the 

cleaning and sanitizing procedures for 

all equipment and facilities involved in 

the production of every product. As part 

of the Sanitation SOP, a plant employee 

records results of daily sanitation 

checks at the frequencies stated in the 

Sanitation SOP. The burden of 

documenting the adherence to the 

Sanitation SOP is based on three factors: 

Recording, reviewing, and storage. 

Recording encompasses conducting and 

inscribing the finding from an 

observation and filing of the document 

produced. 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Respondents: Official egg products 

plants. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 132. 

Estimated No. of Responses: 138,596. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 76,280 hours. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.
