[[Page 13726]]

     Abstract: FSIS, by delegation (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), exercises the 
functions of the Secretary 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.). These statutes mandate that FSIS 
protect the public by verifying that meat, poultry, and egg products 
are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
    FSIS is requesting renewal of the approved information collection 
regarding its Consumer Complaint Monitoring System (CCMS) web portal. 
FSIS is discontinuing use of the electronic Food Safety Mobile 
questionnaire that was approved under this collection. Therefore, the 
Agency has reduced the burden estimate by 13 hours for the Food Safety 
Mobile questionnaire. Additionally, FSIS has reduced the burden hours 
for the CCMS web portal by 75 hours due to updated information about 
consumer complaints. The approval for this information collection will 
expire on August 31, 2018.
    FSIS tracks consumer complaints about meat, poultry, and egg 
products. Consumer complaints are usually filed when food makes a 
consumer sick, causes an allergic reaction, is not properly labeled 
(misbranded), or contains a foreign object. FSIS uses a web portal to 
allow consumers to electronically file a complaint with the Agency 
about a meat, poultry, or egg product. FSIS uses this information to 
look for trends that will enhance the Agency's food safety efforts.
    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 15 minutes per response.
    Respondents: Consumers and organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: The CCMS web portal will have 
approximately 700 respondents.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: The total annual 
burden time is estimated to be about 750 hours for respondents using 
CCMS web portal. 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, 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.
