SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Registration Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0128.
    Type of Request: Renewal of an approved information collection.
    Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the authority to exercise the 
functions of the Secretary of Agriculture (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53) as 
specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et 
seq.) and the Poultry Products and Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 
451, et seq.). FSIS protects the public by verifying that meat and 
poultry products are safe, wholesome, not adulterated, and correctly 
labeled.
    FSIS is planning to request a renewal of this approved information 
collection because it is due to expire on July 31, 2016. There are no 
changes to the existing information collection except a revision to add 
Fish of the Order Siluriformes to the FSIS Form 5020-1. This will 
result in the addition of 100 estimated burden hours.
    Provisions of the FMIA (21 U.S.C. 643) and the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 460 
(c)) prohibit any person, firm, or corporation

[[Page 15501]]

from engaging in commerce as a meat or poultry products broker; 
renderer; animal food manufacturer; wholesaler of livestock or poultry 
carcasses or parts; or public warehouseman storing such articles in or 
for commerce, or from engaging in the business of buying, selling, or 
transporting in commerce, or importing any dead, dying, or disabled or 
diseased livestock or poultry or parts of the carcasses of livestock or 
poultry that died otherwise than by slaughter, unless it has registered 
its business with FSIS as required by the regulations. According to the 
regulations (9 CFR 320.5 and 381.179), parties required to register 
with FSIS must do so by submitting a form (FSIS Form 5020-1, 
Registration of Meat and Poultry Handlers) and must provide current and 
correct information to FSIS, including their name, the address of all 
locations at which they conduct the business that requires them to 
register, and all trade or business names under which they conduct 
these businesses. In addition, parties required to register with FSIS 
must do so within 90 days after they begin to engage in any of the 
businesses that require registration. They must also notify FSIS in 
writing when information on the form changes.
    An official establishment that conducts any of these activities 
does not have to register (9 CFR 320.5(c) and 381.179(c)). (An official 
establishment is a slaughtering, cutting, canning, or other food 
processing establishment where inspection is maintained under the meat 
and poultry regulations (9 CFR Subchapters A, D, and E).)
    FSIS has made the following estimates based upon an information 
collection assessment:
    Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates that it will take respondents an 
average of 10 minutes to complete and submit this form to FSIS.
    Respondents: Brokers, renderers, animal food manufacturers, 
wholesalers, public warehousemen, meat and poultry handlers.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 1,200.
    Estimated No. of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 200 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., 6065, South Building, 
Washington, DC 20250; (202) 720-5627.
    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.
