SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Industry Responses to Noncompliance Records OMB Control Number: 0583-0146. Type of Request: Renewal of an approved information collection. Expiration Date: 12/31/2016. 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.), the Poultry Products and Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). FSIS protects the public by verifying that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, not adulterated, and correctly labeled. FSIS is requesting a renewal of the previously approved information collection addressing paperwork requirements related to the collection of information on official meat or poultry establishment and egg products plant responses to noncompliance records. The noncompliance record, FSIS Form 5400-4, serves as FSIS's official record of noncompliance with one or more regulatory requirements. Inspection program personnel use the form to document their findings and provide written notification of the official establishment's or plant's failure to comply with regulatory requirements. The establishment or plant management receives a copy of the form and has an opportunity to respond in writing using the noncompliance record form. The OMB approval of this information collection will expire on December 31, 2016. The number of estimated burden hours for this requested renewal has decreased because of a decrease in the [[Page 44582]] average number of responses to noncompliance records that were collected over the past three years. Upon approval of this request, the hours will be merged into the FSIS information collection titled Public Health Information System (0583-0153). FSIS has made the following estimates on the basis of an information collection assessment: Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates that it will take respondents an average of 60 minutes per response. Respondents: Official establishments and plants. Estimated No. of Respondents: 7,057. Estimated No. of Annual Responses per Respondent: 17. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 119,969 hours. Copies of this information collection assessment can be obtained from Gina Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development, 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.
