SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Consumer Complaint Monitoring System; the Food Safety Mobile 
Questionnaire.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0133.
    Expiration Date: 8/31/2015.
    Type of Request: Extension of an approved information collection.
    Abstract: FSIS, by delegation (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), exercises 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 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 uses a web 
portal to allow consumers to electronically file a complaint with the 
Agency about a meat, poultry, or egg product. FSIS uses this 
information to look for trends that will enhance the Agency's food 
safety efforts.
    FSIS uses a Food Safety Mobile or USDA Food Safety Discovery Zone--
a

[[Page 25998]]

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 its availability is limited. To facilitate the 
scheduling of the Food Safety Mobile's visits when it is available, the 
Agency uses an electronic questionnaire on its Web site. The 
questionnaire solicits information about the person or organization 
requesting the visit, the timing of the visit, and the type of event at 
which the Food Safety Mobile is to appear.
    FSIS is requesting an extension of an approved information 
collection addressing paperwork and recordkeeping requirements 
regarding the Agency's CCMS web portal and regarding its electronic 
Food Safety Mobile questionnaire.
    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 .446 hours per response.
    Respondents: Consumers and organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: The CCMS web portal will have 
approximately 1,000 respondents. The Food Safety Mobile questionnaire 
will have approximately 150 respondents.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: The total annual 
burden time is estimated to be around 500 hours for respondents using 
CCMS web portal, and 13 hours for respondents using the Food Safety 
Mobile questionnaire. Thus, the total annual burden time for these two 
systems is 513 hours. Copies of this information collection assessment 
can be obtained from Gina Kouba, Paperwork Reduction Act Coordinator, 
Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence, SW., Room 
6077, South Building, Washington, DC 20250, (202)690-6510.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of FSIS's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of 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, 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.
    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.
