SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Mechanically Tenderized Beef 

Products. 

OMB Number: 0583–0160. 

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 Federal Meat Inspection Act 

(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), and the 

Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) 

(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

verifying that meat and poultry products 

are safe, wholesome, and properly 

labeled. 

FSIS is requesting renewal of an 

approved information collection 

regarding the labeling requirements for 

mechanically tenderized beef products. 

There are no changes to the existing 

information collection. The approval for 

this information collection will expire 

on June 30, 2024. 

FSIS regulations require the use of the 

descriptive designation ‘‘mechanically 

tenderized’’ on the labels of raw or 

partially cooked needle or blade 

tenderized beef products, including beef 

products injected with marinade or 

solution, unless these products are to be 

fully cooked at an official establishment. 

The Agency also requires that the 

product name for the beef products 

include the descriptive designation 

‘‘mechanically tenderized’’ and an 

accurate description of the beef 

component (9 CFR 317.2(e)(3)). 

Establishments that use these labels on 

products do not have to submit them to 

FSIS for approval prior to use if the 

labels comply with the provisions for 

generic approval in 9 CFR 412.2. Retail 

facilities that use these labels on 

products do not have to submit them to 

FSIS for approval prior to use. 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

.5833 hours per response. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 555. 

Estimated average number of 

responses per respondent: 60.908. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 33,804. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 19,719 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. 

Copies of this information collection 

assessment can be obtained from Gina 

Kouba, Office of Policy and Program 

Development, Food Safety and 

Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 

Independence Avenue SW, Mailstop 

3758, South Building, Washington, DC 

20250–3700; 202–720–5046. 

Comments are invited on: (a) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FSIS’ functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’ estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the method and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques, or other forms of 

information technology. Comments may 

be sent to both FSIS, at the addresses 

provided above, and the Desk Officer for 

Agriculture, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), 

Washington, DC 20253.

clearance for collection of qualitative 

feedback for another three-year term.

Attorney Advisor Wendy Marshall, 

(202) 272–0043, marshall@accessboard.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

Under the PRA and its implementing

regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from 

OMB for each collection of information 

they conduct or sponsor (e.g., 

contractually-required information 

collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection 

of information,’’ within the meaning of 

the PRA, includes agency requests that 

pose identical questions to, or impose 

reporting or recording keeping 

obligations on, ten or more persons, 

regardless of whether response to such 

request is mandatory or voluntary. See 

5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3). Before seeking clearance from 

OMB, agencies are generally required, 

among other things, to publish a 60-day 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning any proposed information 

collection—including extension of a 

previously-approved collection—and 

provide an opportunity for comment. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1). 

II. Proposed Renewal of Information

Collection Request

The Access Board is providing notice 

of its intent to seek renewal of its 

existing generic clearance for the 

collection of qualitative feedback with 

regard to agency services. To date, we 

have found the feedback garnered 

through qualitative customer 

satisfaction surveys (and similar 

information collections) to be beneficial, 

by providing useful insights in 

experiences, perceptions, opinions, and 

expectations regarding Access Board 

services or focusing attention on areas 

in need of improvement. We thus intend 

to seek approval to continue our current 

efforts to solicit qualitative customer 

feedback by seeking input from 

customers across our agency programs 

and services. Online surveys will be 

used unless the customer contacts the 

agency by phone for technical assistance 

or an individual otherwise expresses a 

preference for another survey format 

(i.e., fillable form in portable document 

format or paper survey). In addition, 

paper surveys may be used to garner 

feedback from participants at in-person 

trainings or similar events. 

OMB Control Number: 3014–0011. 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change. 

Abstract: The proposed information 

collection activity facilitates collection 

of qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Federal 

Government’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information collections that provide 

useful insights on perceptions and 

opinions but are not statistical surveys 

that yield quantitative results that can 

be generalized to the population of 

study. This feedback will provide 

insight into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations, provide an early warning 

of issues with service, or focus attention 

on areas where communication, 

training, or changes in operations might 

improve delivery of services. These 

collections will allow for ongoing, 

collaborative, and actionable 

communications between the Access 

Board and its customers and 

stakeholders. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households; Businesses 

and Organizations; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Burden Estimates: In the table below 

(Table 1), the Access Board provides 

estimates for the annual reporting 

burden under this proposed information 

collection. The Access Board does not 

anticipate incurring any capital or other 

direct costs associated with this
