## Food Safety and Inspection Service

*Title: Salmonella*                     Initiative Program (SIP).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0583-0154.                

*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:*                     SIP offers incentives to meat and poultry slaughter establishments to control                     *Salmonella*                     in their operations. SIP does this by granting waivers of regulatory requirements with the condition that establishments test for                     *Salmonella, Campylobacter*                     (if applicable), and generic                     *E. coli*                     or other indicator organisms and share all sample results with FSIS. SIP benefits public health because it encourages establishments to test for microbial pathogens, which is a key feature of effective process control.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     79.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     17,628.
