        environmental and product testing programs and other 
        appropriate means.

                employee duly designated by the Secretary, permit such 
                officer or employee, upon presentation of appropriate 
                credentials, at reasonable times and within reasonable 
                limits and in a reasonable manner, to have access to

                    ``(A) Requirement.--The Secretary may require, as 
                an additional condition of granting admission to an 
                article of food being imported or offered for import 
                into the United States, that a qualified certifying 
                entity provide a certification that the article 
                complies with requirements of this Act as specified by 
                the Secretary if--

                        country, territory, or region, the Secretary 
                        finds, based on scientific, risk-based 
                        evidence, that the government controls in such 
                        country, territory, or region are inadequate to 
                        ensure that the article is safe and that 
                        certification would assist the Secretary in 
                        determining whether to refuse to admit such 
                        article under subsection (a);

                        presents a threat of serious adverse health 
                        consequences or death, the Secretary finds that 
                        certification would assist the Secretary in 
                        determining whether to refuse to admit such

                subparagraph (A) may take the form of a statement that 
                the article or the facility or farm that manufactured, 
                processed, packed, held, grew, harvested, sorted, or 
                transported the article, as the case may be, complies

                Secretary, or any other form as the Secretary may 
                specify, including a listing of certified facilities or 
                other entities. The Secretary may require that the 
                certification include additional information regarding 
                compliance.

                        establish a process by which a country or 
                        territory may demonstrate that its government 
                        controls are adequate to ensure that such food 
                        exported from its territory to the United 
                        States is safe.

                        not require a certification under clause (ii) 
                        of subparagraph (A) for a food exported from a 
                        country or territory, if that country or 
                        territory has demonstrated, pursuant to the 
                        process established by the Secretary under 
                        clause (i), that its government controls are 
                        adequate to ensure that such food exported from 
                        its territory to the United States is safe.

SEC. 121. SURVEILLANCE.

    (a) Definition of Food-Borne Illness Outbreak.--In this section, 
the term ``food-borne illness outbreak'' means the occurrence of 2 or 
more cases of a similar illness resulting from the ingestion of a food.
    (b) Food-Borne Illness Surveillance Systems.--The Secretary of 
Health and Human Services (in this subtitle referred to as the 
``Secretary''), acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, shall enhance food-borne illness surveillance 
systems to improve the collection, analysis, reporting, and usefulness 
of data on food-borne illnesses by--
            (1) coordinating Federal, State, and local food-borne 
        illness surveillance systems, including complaint systems, and 
        increasing participation in national networks of public health 
        and food regulatory agencies and laboratories;
            (2) facilitating sharing of findings on a more timely basis 
        among governmental agencies, including the Food and Drug 
        Administration, the Department of Agriculture, and State and 
        local agencies, and with the public;
            (3) developing improved epidemiological tools for obtaining 
        quality exposure data, and microbiological methods for 
        classifying cases;
            (4) augmenting such systems to improve attribution of a 
        food-borne illness outbreak to a specific food;
            (5) expanding capacity of such systems, including 
        fingerprinting and other detection strategies for food-borne 
        infectious agents, in order to identify new or rarely 
        documented causes of food-borne illness;
            (6) allowing timely public access to aggregated, de-
        identified surveillance data;
            (7) at least annually, publishing current reports on

                and containment.
                    (B) Accelerate food-borne illness surveillance and 
                outbreak investigation, including rapid shipment of 
                clinical isolates from clinical laboratories to 
                appropriate State laboratories, and conducting more 
                standardized illness outbreak interviews.
                    (C) Strengthen the capacity of State and local 
                agencies to carry out inspections and enforce safety 
                standards.
                    (D) Improve the effectiveness of Federal, State, 
                and local partnerships to coordinate food safety and 
                defense resources and reduce the incidence of food-
                borne illness.
                    (E) Share information on a timely basis among 
                public health and food regulatory agencies, with the

                activities;
                    (C) information systems to support data management 
                and sharing of food safety and defense information 
                among State and local agencies and with counterparts at 
                the Federal level; and
