    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance

including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by June 30, 
2017 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building, 
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are encouraged to 
submit their comments to OMB via email to: [email protected]

may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: In-Home Food Safety Behaviors and Consumer Education: Annual 
Observational Study
    OMB Control Number: 0583--New.
    Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) 
Food Safety and Inspection Service (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 the 
Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 453, et seq., 601 et. seq.) 
FSIS protects the public by verifying that meat, poultry, and processed 
egg products are wholesome; not adulterated; and properly marked, 
labeled, and packaged. USDA FSIS' Office of Public Affairs and Consumer 
Education (OPACE) ensures that all segments of the farm-to-table chain 
receive valuable food safety information. The consumer education 
programs developed by OPACE's Food Safety Education Staff inform the 
public on how to safely handle, prepare, and store meat, poultry, and 
egg products to minimize incidence or foodborne illness. To inform the 
development of food safety communication products and to evaluate 
public health education and communication activities, FSIS is 
requesting approval for a new information collection to conduct 
observational studies using an experimental design.
    Need and Use of the Information: The observational studies will 
help FSIS assess adherence to the four recommended food safety 
behaviors of clean, separate, cook, and chill; determine whether food 
safety messaging focused on those behaviors affects consumer food 
safety handing behaviors; and determine whether consumers introduce 
cross-contamination during food preparation. The results of this 
research will be used to enhance messaging and accompanying materials 
to improve food safety behaviors of consumers.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 2,499.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,950.
