(FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of 
the Secretary as provided in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21

forms through a series of screens in PHIS; other forms are available in 
PHIS only as electronic forms. Paper forms will also be available to 
firms that do not wish to use PHIS. To submit information through PHIS, 
firms' employees will need to register for a USDA eAuthentication 
account with Level 2 access.
