Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Records to be Kept by Official 

Establishments and Retail Stores that 

Grind Raw Beef Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–0165. 

Summary of Collection: The Food 

Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has 

been delegated the authority to exercise 

the functions of the Secretary as 

provided in the Federal Meat Inspection 

Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et. seq.). 

These statues mandate that FSIS protect 

the public by verifying that meat and 

poultry products are safe, wholesome, 

not adulterated, and properly labeled 

and packaged. 

FSIS requires that all grinders or 

choppers of raw beef products, beef 

manufacturing trimmings, or trimmings 

fabricated at retail intended for use in 

raw ground or chopped beef products, 

including retail facilities, are persons 

required by FMIA to keep records which 

will fully and correctly disclose all 

transactions involved in their business 

subject to the Act. If not doing so 

already, these businesses must maintain 

records that disclose the identity and 

supplier of all materials used in the 

preparation of each lot of raw ground or 

chopped beef product. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS requires that all establishments 

and retail stores that grind or chop beef 

products are required to keep these 

records. These records provide critical 

information about how, when, and 

where raw ground or chopped beef 

product was prepared, shipped, 

received, stored, and handled, which 

are essential to illness outbreak 

investigations, recalls, and other agency 

public health activities conducted by 

FSIS. 

In addition, FSIS requires that 

specific information be kept in the 

required records and that retail stores 

maintain store-designed systems that 

allow them to link individual packages 

of raw ground or chopped beef products 

prepared and sold by them to the 

required records. The required records 

must include the following information: 

1. Name, point of contact (name, title, 

email, and facsimile number) telephone 

number, and establishment number of 

the Federal, State, or foreign 

establishment supplying the raw source 

material, 

2. Supplier lot numbers and 

production dates for each raw source 

material used; and, 

3. The names of the supplied 

materials.

[Docket No. APHIS–2021–0041] 

Notice of Decision To Revise the 

Requirements for the Importation of 

Plums (Prunus domestica) From Chile 

Into the United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public of 

our decision to revise the requirements 

relative to the importation into the 

United States of plums from Chile. 

Based on the findings of a commodity 

import evaluation document, which we 

made available to the public for review 

and comment through a previous notice, 

we have determined that, in addition to 

the existing option of irradiation, plums 

from Chile may safely be imported 

under a systems approach for mitigation 

of the risk posed by European grapevine 

moth, with an additional option for 

fumigation with methyl bromide. 

DATES: The articles covered by this 

notification may be authorized for 

importation under the revised 

requirements after January 25, 2022.
