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.), 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
ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg
products are wholesome, not
adulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged. FSIS requires FSIS accredited
non-Federal analytical laboratories to
maintain certain paperwork and
records. FSIS will collect information
using several FSIS forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS will collect information to ensure
that all meat and poultry establishments
produce safe, wholesome, and
unadulterated product, and that nonfederal laboratories accord with FSIS
regulations. In addition, FSIS also
collects information to ensure that meat
and poultry establishments exempted
from FSIS’s inspection do not
commingle inspected and non-inspected
meat and poultry products, and to
ensure that retail firms qualifying for a
retail store exemption and who have
violated the provision of the exemption
are no longer in violation.

that FSIS protect the public by ensuring
that meat, poultry, and egg products are
safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS developed a Web-based system
that will improve FSIS inspection
operations and facilitate industry
members’ application for inspection,
export, and import of meat, poultry, and
egg products. Industry members use
FSIS forms in the Public Health
Information System (PHIS). Industry is
able to submit some of these 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.

benefits public health because it
encourages establishments to test for
microbial pathogens, which is a key
feature of effective process control.
Need and Use of the Information:
Under SIP, establishments will share
their data with the Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS); this will help
the Agency in formulating its policy.
Establishments that want to enter SIP
must send a protocol to FSIS informing
the Agency about their plans for
implementing SIP in their
establishment, including data
collection, objectives and methods of
evaluating the new technology for

Summary of Collection: The United
States Department of Agriculture is
responsible for ensuring consumers that
food and farm products are moved from
producer to consumer in the most
efficient, dependable, economical, and
equitable system possible. 5 CFR part
339 authorizes an agency to obtain
medical information about the
applicant’s health status to assist
management in making employment
decisions concerning positions that
have specific medical standards or
physical requirements in order to
determine medical/physical fitness. The
Marketing and Regulatory Programs
(MRP) of the Animal Plant and Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture hires
individuals each year in commodity
grading and inspection positions. These
positions involve arduous duties and
work under conditions, around moving
machinery, slippery surfaces, and high
noise level areas. APHIS will collect
information using the MRP–5 form
(Self-Certification Medical Statement).
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected from the
prospective employees assists the MRP
officials, administrative personnel, and
servicing Human Resources Offices in
determining an applicant’s physical
fitness and suitability for employment
in positions with approved medical
standards and physical requirements
and direct contact with meat, dairy,
fresh or processed fruits and vegetables,
and poultry intended for human
consumption and cotton and tobacco
products intended for consumer use. If
the information was not collected,
APHIS would not be able to accurately
determine the physical and/or mental
fitness for the position which the
applicant has applied and still meet the
provisions of the Act.

or poultry. The AHPA is contained in
Title X, Subtitle E, Sections 10401–18 of
Public Law 107–171, May 13, 2002, the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act

certificate site audit, program audit
form, request for information during a
spot audit, animal disposal plan and
recordkeeping, animal movement record
and recordkeeping, rodent control
logbook and recordkeeping, trichinae

assurance affidavit and recordkeeping,
and records for slaughter testing and
recordkeeping.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to certify

exposure. If this information is not
collected, it will compromise APHIS’
ability to determine the trichinae
infection status of pork produced in the
