Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Electronic Import Inspection.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0159.
    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 
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). These statues mandate that FSIS protect the public by 
verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires foreign governments 
to submit additional information when submitting both the foreign 
establishment certificate and the foreign inspection certificate to 
FSIS in order for foreign establishments to be permitted to import 
product to the United States. The information that is required with the 
Foreign Establishment Certificate includes: The type of operation(s) 
conducted at the establishment (e.g., slaughter, processing, storage, 
exporting warehouse); the establishment's eligibility status (e.g., new 
or relisted (if previously delisted)); and, slaughter and processing 
establishment certifications that address the species and type of 
product(s) produced at the establishment and the process category. 
Additional information that is required with the Foreign Inspection 
Certificate includes: The species used to produce the product and the 
source country and foreign establishment number; whether the source 
materials originate from a country other than the exporting country; 
the product's description, including the process category, the product 
category, and the product group; the address of the consignor; the 
address of the consignee; the name and address of the exporter; the 
name and address of the importer; and, any additional information the 
Administrator requests to determine whether the product is eligible to 
be imported into the U.S. FSIS also requires official import inspection 
establishments to develop, implement, and maintain written Sanitation 
Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), as provided in 9 CFR 416.11 
through 416.17. The Import Inspection Application (FSIS Form 9540-1) is 
available to applicants that do not file this information 
electronically. To conduct the information collection less frequently 
would inhibit the ability of FSIS to ensure that imported products are 
safe, wholesome and not adulterated.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 108,290.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
