SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Consumer Complaint 

Monitoring System; the Food Safety 

Mobile Questionnaire. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 

authority to exercise the functions of the 

Secretary as specified 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, et seq.). 

These statutes mandate that FSIS 

protect the public by verifying that 

meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, 

wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. 

FSIS is requesting an extension of an 

approved information collection 

addressing paperwork and 

recordkeeping requirements regarding 

the Agency’s Consumer Complaint 

Monitoring System web portal and 

regarding its electronic Food Safety 

Mobile questionnaire. 

FSIS tracks consumer complaints 

about meat, poultry, and egg products. 

Consumer complaints are usually filed 

because the food made the consumer 

sick, caused an allergic reaction, was 

not properly labeled (misbranded), or 

contained a foreign object. FSIS has 

developed a web portal to allow 

consumers to electronically file a 

complaint with the Agency about a 

meat, poultry, or egg product. FSIS will 

use this information to look for trends 

that will enhance the Agency’s food 

safety efforts. 

FSIS uses a Food Safety Mobile, a 

vehicle that travels throughout the 

continental United States, to educate 

consumers about the risks associated 

with the mishandling of food and the 

steps they can take to reduce their risk 

of foodborne illness. 

Organizations can request a visit from 

the FSIS Food Safety Mobile although 

the availability of the Mobile is limited. 

To facilitate the scheduling of the Food 

Safety Mobile’s visits when it is 

available, the Agency has put an 

electronic questionnaire on its web site. 

The questionnaire solicits information 

about the person/organization 

requesting the visit, the timing of the 

visit, and the type of event at which the 

Food Safety Mobile is to appear. 

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 .214 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Consumers and 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

650. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 139 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

assessment can be obtained from John 

O’Connell, Paperwork Reduction Act 

Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA, 1400 Independence 

Ave., SW., Room 3532 South Building, 

Washington, DC 20250–3700; (202) 720– 

0345. 

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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 7, 2008 / Notices 58531 

the methodology 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 

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 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, Washington, 

DC 20253. 

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. 

Additional Public Notification 

Public awareness of all segments of 

rulemaking and policy development is 

important. Consequently, in an effort to 

ensure that minorities, women, and 

persons with disabilities are aware of 

this notice, FSIS will announce it online through the FSIS Web page located

provide information to a much broader 

and more diverse audience. In addition, 

FSIS offers an e-mail subscription 

service which provides automatic and 

customized access to selected food 

safety news and information. This 

service is available at http://

segments) of existing unauthorized 

routes to the National Forest 

Transportation System (NFTS) as roads 

open to the public for motorized vehicle 

use by vehicle class and season of use. 

Add approximately 24 miles (258 

routes) of existing unauthorized routes 

to the NFTS as roads open to the public 

for motorized vehicle use to access 

dispersed recreation opportunities (e.g. 

river access, dispersed camping, etc.), 

by vehicle class and season of use. 

4. Add approximately 14 miles (22 

segments) of existing unauthorized 

routes to the NFTS as motorized trails 

open to the public for motorized vehicle 

use by vehicle class and season of use. 

5. Allow motorized vehicle use on 

two areas (65 acres) where use of 

motorized vehicles by the public would 

be allowed anywhere within that 

delineated area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Over the past few decades, the 

availability and capability of motorized 

vehicles, particularly off-highway 

vehicles (OHVs) and sport utility 

vehicles (SUVs) has increased 

tremendously. Nationally, the number 

of OHV users has climbed sevenfold in 

the past 30 years, from approximately 5 

million in 1972 to 36 million in 2000. 

The ten states with the largest 

population also have the most OHV 

users. California has 4.35 million OHV 

users accounting for almost 11 percent 

of the U.S. total (Off-Highway Vehicle 

Recreation in the United States, Regions 

and States: A National Report from the 

National Survey on Recreation and the 

Environment (NSRE) Cordell, Betz, 

Green and Owens June 2005). There 

were 786,914 all terrain vehicles (ATVs) 

and OHV motorcycles registered in 

2004, up 330 percent since 1980. 

Annual sales of ATVs and OHV 

motorcycles in California were the 

highest in the U.S. for the last 5 years. 

Four-wheel drive vehicle sales in 

California also increased by 1500 

percent to 3,046,866 from 1989 to 2002. 

Unmanaged OHV use has resulted in 

unplanned roads and trails, erosion,
