SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) operates a voluntary 
fee-for- service seafood inspection program (Program) under the 
authorities of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended, the 
Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, and the Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 
1970. The regulations for the Program are contained in 50 CFR part 260. 
The program offers inspection grading and certification services, 
including the use of official quality grade marks which indicate that 
specific products have been Federally inspected. Those wishing to 
participate in the program must request the services and submit 
specific compliance information. In July 1992, NMFS announced new 
inspection services, which were fully based on guidelines recommended 
by the National Academy of Sciences, known as Hazard Analysis Critical 
Control Point (HACCP). The information collection requirements fall 
under Sec.  260.15 of the regulations. These guidelines required that a 
facility's quality control system have a written plan of the operation, 
identification of control points with acceptance criteria and a 
corrective action plan, as well as identified personnel responsible for 
oversight of the system.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents have a choice of either electronic or paper forms. 
Methods of submittal include email of electronic forms, and mail and 
facsimile transmission of paper forms.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
