    Comments regarding this information collection received by 
September 19, 2018 will be considered. Written comments should be 
addressed to: Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New 
Executive Office Building, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20502. 
Commenters are encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental

7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat and Poultry Products.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0135.
    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.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 
U.S.C. 451 et seq.) These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public 
by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. A firm that has 
produced or imported meat or poultry that is adulterated or misbranded 
and is being distributed in commerce, may voluntarily recall the 
product in question. When a firm voluntarily recalls a product, FSIS 
will conduct a recall effectiveness check.
    Need and Use of the Information: In conducting a recall, the 
establishment will be asked to provide FSIS with some basic 
information, including the identity of the recalled product, the reason 
for the recall, and information about the distributors and customers of 
the product. FSIS will check on the effectiveness of the recall to 
ensure that all products subject to recall are accounted for. FSIS 
field personnel will use FSIS form 8400-4 A to determine (1) if the 
retail consignee received notification of the recall and (2) the amount 
of recalled products received. FSIS field personnel will also use FSIS 
form 8400-4 B to verify that product held by the retail consignee was 
properly disposed.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6,090.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On Occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 6,600.

Product, Prepare and Maintain Written Recall Procedures, and Document 
Certain HACCP Reassessments.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0144.
    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.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 
U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 
public by verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. Section 11017 of the 
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, 112 Stat. 
1651, 448-49), amended the FMIA and the PPIA by adding sections 12 and 
13 to the FMIA and by amending section 10 of the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 459). 
These sections require official establishments that believe, they have 
shipped into commerce or received, misbranded, or adulterated products 
to notify the Secretary of Agriculture.
    Need and Use of the Information: Official establishments are to 
document each time they reassess their HACCP plans and make the 
reassessments available to FSIS officials for review and copying. 
Official establishments are to notify the FSIS District Office that 
they have received or have shipped into commerce misbranded or 
adulterated product. The information collected will permit FSIS 
officials to monitor closely establishments HACCP plan reassessments 
and to facilitate recalls or adulterated or misbranded product.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
