DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by February 23, 2024 

will be considered. Written comments 

and recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

particular information collection by 

selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day 

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or 

by using the search function. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Small and Very Small 

Establishment Outreach Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–NEW. 

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 plans to use a multi-language 

survey to solicit feedback from small 

and very small establishment owners to 

ascertain how FSIS can better service 

the needs of small and very small 

establishments and improve outreach to 

them. This survey is one of many ways 

FSIS is working to bring equity—that is, 

consistent and systematic treatment of 

all individuals in a fair, just, and 

impartial manner, including individuals 

who belong to communities that often 

have been denied such treatment—to 

small and very small establishments. 

Results will inform the Agency on ways 

to improve engagement with, and 

outreach to, small and very small 

establishments, particularly those in 

underrepresented communities. 

Without this study, FSIS could lack 

useful information that would help the 

Agency better service the needs of small 

and very small establishments. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 5,000. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 168.
