Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Public Health Information 

System. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–0153. 

Summary of Collection: FSIS has been 

delegated the authority to exercise the 

functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 

and 2.53), as specified 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 verifying that 

meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, 

wholesome, and properly labeled. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS uses a Web-based system that 

improves FSIS inspection operations 

and facilitates industry members’ 

applications for inspection, export, and 

import of meat, poultry, and egg 

products. Industry members use FSIS 

forms in PHIS. Industry is able to 

submit some of these forms through a 

series of screens in PHIS; other forms 

are available in PHIS only as electronic 

forms. To not collect the information 

would inhibit the ability of FSIS to 

ensure that meat, poultry, and egg 

products are safe, wholesome, and 

properly labeled.
