Summary of Collection: The Swine

the establishment of a library of swine
packer marketing contracts (swine
contract library), and a monthly report
of types of contracts in existence and

contracts. The collection of information
is necessary for the Grain Inspection,
Packers and Stockyards Administration

Information is required from packers for
processing plants that meet certain
criteria, including size as measured by
annual slaughter. GIPSA is responsible
for implementing and enforcing the P&S
Act, including the swine contract

information on contracts used by
packers to purchase swine from
producers and monthly reports of
commitments under such contracts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Exportation, Transportation,
and Importation of Meat and Poultry
Products.
OMB Number: 0583–0094.
Expiration Date of Approval: October
31, 2006.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary as specified 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.
FSIS is requesting extension of an
approved information collection
addressing paperwork and
recordkeeping requirements regarding
the collection of information concerning
the exportation, transportation, and
importation of meat and poultry
products. The Agency requires that meat
and poultry establishments exporting
product to foreign countries complete
an export certificate. Establishments
must supply the type, the amount, and
the destination of product being
exported. The form is necessary to
certify to the importing countries that
FSIS inspectors have inspected the
product.
Meat and poultry products not
bearing the mark of inspection and
shipped from one official establishment
to another must be transported under
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
FSIS seal to prevent such unmarked
product from entering commerce. To
track product shipped under seal, FSIS
requires shipping establishments to
complete a form that identifies the type,
amount, and weight of the product.
A foreign country exporting meat or
poultry products to the U.S. must
establish eligibility to import product
into the U.S. and annually certify that
its inspection system is equivalent to
the U.S. inspection system. To maintain
eligibility, a written report must be
prepared monthly by a representative of
the foreign inspection system for each
establishment listed in the certification.
Additionally, meat and poultry products
intended for import into the U.S. must
be accompanied by a health certificate,
signed by an official of the foreign
government, stating that the products
have been produced by certified foreign
establishments. Establishments or
brokers wishing to import product into
the United States must complete a form
that specifies the type, amount,
originating country, and destination of
the product. The amount of meat and
poultry product imported into the
United States is included in FSIS’
annual Report to Congress.
Additionally, the Agency has
established procedures allowing
establishments importing product to
stamp such product with the inspection
legend before FSIS inspection, if they
receive FSIS prior approval.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of 24 hours per annum to collect and
submit this information to FSIS.
Respondents: Meat and poultry
establishments, and importers and
exporters.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,436.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses
per Respondent: 294.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 127,838 hours.
Copies of this information collection
assessment can be obtained from John
O’Connell, Paperwork Reduction Act
Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA, 300 12th Street, SW.,
Room 112, Washington, DC 20250–
3700, (202) 720–5627, (202) 720–0345.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FSIS’ functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’ estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
