SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Public Health Information System.
    OMB Number: 0583-0153.
    Expiration Date of Approval: 01/31/2021.
    Type of Request: Revision of an approved information collection.
    Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the authority to exercise the 
functions of the Secretary (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 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 and 
packaged.
    FSIS is requesting a revision to the approved information 
collection for the FSIS Public Health Information System (PHIS) to 
include the FSIS standard export certificate forms 9060-5, 9060-5S, 
9060-5A, and 9060-5B. The estimated burden will increase by 11,303 
hours due to the addition of these export certificate forms. The 
approval for this information collection will expire on January 31, 
2021.
    FSIS requires the use of FSIS Form 9060-5 ``Meat and Poultry Export 
Certificate of Wholesomeness'' for all meat and poultry exports (9 CFR 
322.2 and 9 CRF 381.106). FSIS requires the use of FSIS Form 9060-5S 
``Fish and Fish Products Export Certificate of Wholesomeness'' for all 
exports of fish of the order Siluriformes (9 CFR 552.1, cross-
referencing 322.2). FSIS also requires the use of FSIS Form 9060-5A 
``Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products Certificate of Wholesomeness 
(Continuation Sheet)'' and FSIS Form 9060-5B ``Meat, Poultry, and Egg 
Products Certificate of Wholesomeness (Continuation Sheet)'' (9 CFR 
322.2 and 9 CFR 381.106) to capture additional statements or 
information that will not fit in the remarks section of FSIS Forms 
9060-5 and 9060-5S. In most cases, the FSIS Public Health Information 
System will automatically populate the information that is collected on 
the FSIS standard export certificate forms from the FSIS Form 9060-6 
``Application for Export Certificate.'' The FSIS Form 9060-6 is an 
approved form under this collection. FSIS is seeking approval for any 
collection of information for the FSIS standard export certificate 
forms that might occur on paper. FSIS has made the following estimates 
based upon an information collection assessment:
    Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average .179 hours per response.
    Estimated total number of respondents: 6,242.
    Estimated average number of responses per respondent: 103.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 643,008.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 115,117 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 Avenue SW, Room 6065, South 
Building, Washington, DC 20250-3700; (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 
method and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,

[[Page 12334]]

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.
