SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Consumer Complaint
Monitoring System; the Food Safety
Mobile Questionnaire.
Type of Request: Extension of an
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.), 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.).

protect the public by verifying that
meat, poultry, and egg products are safe,
wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is requesting an extension of an
approved information collection
addressing paperwork and

recordkeeping requirements regarding
the Agency’s Consumer Complaint
Monitoring System web portal and
regarding its electronic Food Safety
Mobile questionnaire.
FSIS tracks consumer complaints
about meat, poultry, and egg products.
Consumer complaints are usually filed
because the food made the consumer
sick, caused an allergic reaction, was
not properly labeled (misbranded), or
contained a foreign object. FSIS has
developed a web portal to allow
consumers to electronically file a
complaint with the Agency about a
meat, poultry, or egg product. FSIS will
use this information to look for trends
that will enhance the Agency’s food
safety efforts.
FSIS uses a Food Safety Mobile, a
vehicle that travels throughout the
continental United States, to educate
consumers about the risks associated
with the mishandling of food and the
steps they can take to reduce their risk
of foodborne illness.
Organizations can request a visit from
the FSIS Food Safety Mobile although
the availability of the Mobile is limited.
To facilitate the scheduling of the Food
Safety Mobile’s visits when it is
available, the Agency has put an
electronic questionnaire on its web site.
The questionnaire solicits information
about the person/organization
requesting the visit, the timing of the
visit, and the type of event at which the
Food Safety Mobile is to appear.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment.
Estimate of Burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .214
hours per response.
Respondents: Consumers and
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
650.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 139 hours.
Copies of this information collection
assessment can be obtained from John
O’Connell, Paperwork Reduction Act
Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA, 1400 Independence
Ave., SW., Room 3532 South Building,
Washington, DC 20250–3700; (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

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of
information technology. Comments may
be sent to both FSIS, at the addresses
provided above, and the Desk Officer for
Agriculture, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC 20253.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Over the past few decades, the
availability and capability of motorized
vehicles, particularly off-highway
vehicles (OHVs) and sport utility
vehicles (SUVs) has increased
tremendously. Nationally, the number
of OHV users has climbed sevenfold in
the past 30 years, from approximately 5
million in 1972 to 36 million in 2000.
The ten states with the largest
population also have the most OHV
users. California has 4.35 million OHV
users accounting for almost 11 percent
of the U.S. total (Off-Highway Vehicle
Recreation in the United States, Regions
and States: A National Report from the
National Survey on Recreation and the
Environment (NSRE) Cordell, Betz,
Green and Owens June 2005). There
were 786,914 all terrain vehicles (ATVs)
and OHV motorcycles registered in
2004, up 330 percent since 1980.
Annual sales of ATVs and OHV
motorcycles in California were the
highest in the U.S. for the last 5 years.
Four-wheel drive vehicle sales in
California also increased by 1500
percent to 3,046,866 from 1989 to 2002.
Unmanaged OHV use has resulted in
unplanned roads and trails, erosion,
