DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

August 3, 2021.
    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 
September 8, 2021 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: Public Health Inspection System.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0153.
    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.), 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). These statues mandate that FSIS protect the public by 
ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS uses a Web-based system that 
supports FSIS inspection operations and facilitates industry members' 
application for inspection, export, and import of meat, poultry, and 
egg products. Industry members use FSIS forms in the Public Health 
Information System (PHIS). Industry can submit some of these forms 
through a series of screens in PHIS; other forms are available in PHIS 
only as electronic forms. Paper forms will also be available to firms 
that do not wish to use PHIS. To submit information through PHIS, 
firms' employees will need to register for a USDA eAuthentication 
account with Level 2 access. To not collect the information would 
inhibit ability of FSIS to ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products 
are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6,294.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 115,550.
