SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Requirements for Official Establishments to Notify FSIS of 
Adulterated or Misbranded Product, Prepare and Maintain Written Recall 
Procedures, and Document Certain HACCP Plan Reassessments.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0144.
    Expiration Date: 9/30/2018.
    Type of Request: Renewal of an approved information collection.
    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

[[Page 22613]]

meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and 
properly labeled and packaged.
    The regulations at 9 CFR 418.2, 418.3 and 417.4(a)(3) require 
establishments to notify FSIS of adulterated or misbranded product, 
prepare and maintain written recall procedures, and document certain 
HACCP plan reassessments. Accordingly, FSIS requires three information 
collection activities under these regulations. First, FSIS requires 
that official establishments notify the appropriate District Office 
that an adulterated or misbranded product received by or originating 
from the establishment has entered commerce, if the establishment 
believes or has reason to believe that this has happened. Second, FSIS 
requires that establishments prepare and maintain written procedures 
for the recall of meat and poultry products produced and shipped by the 
establishment for use should it become necessary for the establishment 
to remove product from commerce. These written recall procedures have 
to specify how the establishment will decide whether to conduct a 
product recall, and how the establishment will effect the recall should 
it decide that one is necessary. Finally, FSIS requires that 
establishments document each reassessment of the establishment's HACCP 
plans. FSIS requires establishments to reassess their HACCP plans 
annually and whenever any changes occur that could affect the hazard 
analysis or alter the HACCP plan. For annual reassessments, if the 
establishment determines that no changes are necessary, documentation 
of this determination is not necessary.
    FSIS is requesting renewal of the approved information collection 
addressing paperwork and recordkeeping requirements for these three 
activities. The approval for this information collection will expire on 
September 30, 2018. FSIS is making no changes to the approved 
collection. The public may comment on either the entire information 
collection or on one of its three parts. FSIS has made the following 
estimates based upon an information collection assessment.
    Estimate of Burden of Average Hours per Response: 1.159.
    Respondents: Official meat and poultry products establishments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,300.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 40,960.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 6.5.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 47,475.
    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.

request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.
