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/

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.
