    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

verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,

information related to the quality assurance/quality control procedures 
in place at in-plant and private laboratories participating n the 
Pasteurized Egg Product Recognized Laboratory program. FSIS uses the 
data collected in the desk audit of existing labs or in the appraisal 
of a new applicant. Any non-federal laboratory that is applying for the 
FSIS Accredited Laboratory program will need to complete an Application 
for FSIS Accredited Laboratory Program 10,110-2 form. FSIS will use the 
information collected by the form to help access the laboratory 
applying for admission to the FSIS Accredited Laboratory program.
