Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Application of Laboratories, 

Transactions, and Exemptions. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–0082. 

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, et. seq.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg 

products are wholesome, not 

adulterated, and properly labeled and 

packaged. FSIS requires FSIS accredited 

non-Federal analytical laboratories to 

maintain certain paperwork and 

records. FSIS will collect information 

using several FSIS forms. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS will collect information to ensure 

that all meat and poultry establishments 

produce safe, wholesome, and 

unadulterated product, and that nonfederal laboratories accord with FSIS 

regulations. In addition, FSIS also 

collects information to ensure that meat 

and poultry establishments exempted 

from FSIS’s inspection do not 

commingle inspected and non-inspected 

meat and poultry products, and to 

ensure that retail firms qualifying for a 

retail store exemption and who have 

violated the provision of the exemption 

are no longer in violation.

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 developed a Web-based system 

that will improve FSIS inspection 

operations and facilitate 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 is 

able to submit some of these 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.

OMB Control Number: 0583–0154. 

Summary of Collection: The Food

been delegated the authority to exercise

provided in the Federal Meat Inspection 

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

(21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

ensuring that meat and poultry products 

are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. The 

Salmonella initiative Program (SIP) 

offers incentives to meat and poultry 

slaughter establishments to control 

Salmonella in their operations. SIP 

benefits public health because it 

encourages establishments to test for 

microbial pathogens, which is a key 

feature of effective process control. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Under SIP, establishments will share 

their data with the Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS); this will help 

the Agency in formulating its policy. 

Establishments that want to enter SIP 

must send a protocol to FSIS informing 

the Agency about their plans for 

implementing SIP in their 

establishment, including data 

collection, objectives and methods of 

evaluating the new technology for

Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Self Certification Medical 

Statement. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0196. 

Summary of Collection: The United 

States Department of Agriculture is 

responsible for ensuring consumers that 

food and farm products are moved from 

producer to consumer in the most 

efficient, dependable, economical, and 

equitable system possible. 5 CFR part 

339 authorizes an agency to obtain 

medical information about the 

applicant’s health status to assist 

management in making employment 

decisions concerning positions that 

have specific medical standards or 

physical requirements in order to 

determine medical/physical fitness. The 

Marketing and Regulatory Programs 

(MRP) of the Animal Plant and Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture hires 

individuals each year in commodity 

grading and inspection positions. These 

positions involve arduous duties and 

work under conditions, around moving 

machinery, slippery surfaces, and high 

noise level areas. APHIS will collect 

information using the MRP–5 form 

(Self-Certification Medical Statement). 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information collected from the 

prospective employees assists the MRP 

officials, administrative personnel, and 

servicing Human Resources Offices in 

determining an applicant’s physical 

fitness and suitability for employment 

in positions with approved medical 

standards and physical requirements 

and direct contact with meat, dairy, 

fresh or processed fruits and vegetables, 

and poultry intended for human 

consumption and cotton and tobacco 

products intended for consumer use. If 

the information was not collected, 

APHIS would not be able to accurately 

determine the physical and/or mental 

fitness for the position which the 

applicant has applied and still meet the 

provisions of the Act.

Individuals or households.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Trichinae Certification Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0323. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control and 

eradicate pests or diseases of livestock 

or poultry. The AHPA is contained in 

Title X, Subtitle E, Sections 10401–18 of 

Public Law 107–171, May 13, 2002, the 

Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 

of 2002. Trichinelia spiralis is a 

contagious nematode affecting animals 

and people. The disease, trichinellosis, 

is transmitted by consuming the meat of 

an infected animal. The Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

will collect information using a 

certificate site audit, program audit 

form, request for information during a 

spot audit, animal disposal plan and 

recordkeeping, animal movement record 

and recordkeeping, rodent control 

logbook and recordkeeping, trichinae 

herd certification feed mill quality 

assurance affidavit and recordkeeping, 

and records for slaughter testing and 

recordkeeping. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to certify 

swine are raised using practices that 

will reduce or eliminate T spiralis 

exposure. If this information is not 

collected, it will compromise APHIS’ 

ability to determine the trichinae 

infection status of pork produced in the 

United States.
