project activities, including information 

on impacts related to a variety of farm 

sizes and types; 

• Technical assistance and resources 

provided, especially to help producers 

overcome barriers to adopting CSAF 

practices; 

• Partnerships developed and 

leveraged, including public-private 

partnerships to foster and develop CSAF 

markets; 

• Climate-smart commodity supply 

chain and demand impacts, as well as 

other economic benefits; and 

• Implementation of measurement, 

monitoring, reporting, and verification, 

and supply chain traceability systems. 

Additional reporting and data-sharing 

requirements may apply at the time of 

award, particularly in support of the 

USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart 

Commodities Learning Network. Certain 

reporting elements will be required to 

be georeferenced (geospatially 

referenced). Further, we received Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

clearance to use electronic submission 

form (SF–270, SF–424 and SF–425) in 

Grants.gov. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per responses, in hours, multiplied 

by the estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public 

reporting burden for the collection of 

information is estimated to average 10.5 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Partnerships for 

Climate-Smart Commodities Applicants 

and Awardees. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

500. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 5. 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Responses: 1,610. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 10.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 14,370 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information technology; 

and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who 

respond through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses where provided, will be made 

a matter of public record. Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Poultry Finished Product Standards. 

OMB Number: 0583–NEW. 

Type of Request: Request for a new 

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 Poultry Products Inspection Act 

(PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). This 

statute mandates that FSIS protect the 

public by verifying that poultry 

products are safe, wholesome, 

unadulterated, and properly labeled and 

packaged. 

Since 1987, FSIS regulations have 

required that processed birds meet FPS 

before and after chilling to ensure that 

the product being produced is 

consistently wholesome and 

unadulterated. By design, FPS provides 

a clear picture of the effectiveness of the 

dressing and evisceration process and 

alerts FSIS and the establishment to a 

need for adjustments before 

unacceptable product is produced. 

Poultry slaughter establishments that 

operate under the Streamlined 

Inspection System (SIS) or the New Line 

Speed Inspection System (NELS) or the 

New Turkey Inspection (NTI) system are 

required to comply with the Poultry FPS 

regulatory requirements (9 CFR 

381.76(b)). These regulations require 

establishments to perform and record 

the results of FPS tests throughout each 

shift. The forms used to document FPS 

tests include the defects that must be 

counted, as well as a method to 

calculate the results.

Establishments use FSIS Form 6500– 

1, Poultry QC Finished Product 

Standards, to record poultry pre-chill 

processing nonconformance results; 

FSIS Form 6500–2, Poultry QC Finished 

Product Standards, to record poultry 

pre-chill trim nonconformance results, 

and FSIS Form 6500–3, Poultry Finished 

Product Standards, to record poultry 

post-chill processing nonconformance 

results. FSIS inspection program 

personnel also review all three forms to 

verify compliance with 9 CFR 381.76(b). 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Estimate of burden: FSIS estimates 

that it takes each respondent an average 

of 861.23 hours per year to complete 

FSIS Forms 6500–1, 6500–2, and 6500– 

3. 

Estimated total number of 

respondents: 80 Poultry Slaughter 

establishments that operate under the 

SIS, NELS or NTIS inspection systems. 

Estimated number of responses per 

respondent: 9,085. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 726,800. 

Estimated annual burden on 

respondents: 68,899 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.

assessment can be obtained from Gina
