research and testing activities described
will help in the development of
effective education and promotion tools
and communication strategies.
Collection of this information will
increase FNS’ ability to formulate
nutrition education interventions that
resonate with the intended target
population, in particular low-income
families.
Formative research methods and
information collection will include
focus groups, interviews (dyad, triad,
telephone, etc.), surveys and Web-based
data collection. The data obtained will
provide input regarding the potential
use of materials and products during
both the developmental and testing
stages. In order to determine future
nutrition education needs, tools and
dissemination strategies, key informant
interviews will be conducted. This task
involves collecting a diverse array of
information from a variety of groups
including: People familiar with the
target audiences; individuals delivering
nutrition education interventions and
projects; program providers at State and
local levels; program participants and
other relevant informants associated
with FNS programs.
Findings from all data collection will
be included in summary reports
submitted to USDA–FNS. The reports
will describe the data collection
methods, findings, conclusions,
implications, and recommendations for
the development and effective
dissemination of nutrition education
materials and related tools for FNS
population groups. There will be no
specific quantitative analysis of data. No
attempt will be made to generalize the
findings to be nationally representative
or statistically valid.
Respondents: Individual &
Household: Recipients and those
persons eligible for FNS nutrition
assistance programs, State and local
staff administering FNS programs,
Business: FNS stakeholders and
consumers, and other interested parties.

within 18 months after the date that
financial assistance was granted. If the
defect is determined to be structural and
is covered by the builder’s/dealer’scontractor’s warranty, the contractor is
expected to correct the defect. If the
contractor cannot or will not correct the
defect, the borrower may be
compensated for having the defect
corrected, under the Complaints and
Compensation for Construction Defects

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Exportation, Transportation,
and Importation of Meat and Poultry
Products.
OMB Number: 0583–0094.
Expiration Date of Approval: 1/31/
2010.
Type of Request: Revision 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.) and the Poultry Products
Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et
seq.). FSIS protects the public by
verifying that meat and poultry products
are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
correctly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is planning to request a revision
of an information collection addressing
paperwork requirements related to the
collection of information for the
exportation, transportation, and
importation of meat and poultry
products because this information
collection is scheduled to expire in
January 2010, and because the Agency
now has more accurate data regarding
the forms used to export and import
product. In the previous submission
(three years ago), FSIS had
overestimated the number of burden
hours associated with completing and
submitting the Application for Export
Certificate by over 500,000 hours.
FSIS requires that meat and poultry
establishments exporting product to
foreign countries complete an export
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certificate (9 CFR 322.2 and 381.105).
Establishments must supply the type,
amount, and destination of product
being exported. The information
required to be supplied on this form
does not duplicate any information
other Federal agencies may require.
Such a form is necessary to certify to the
importing countries that FSIS inspectors
have inspected the product and have
found it sound and wholesome.
Meat and poultry products not
marked with the mark of inspection and
shipped from one official establishment
to another for further processing must
be transported under USDA seal to
prevent such unmarked product from
entering into commerce (9 CFR 325.5).
To track product shipped under seal,
FSIS requires shipping establishments
to complete a form that identifies the
type, amount, and weight of the
product.
Foreign countries exporting meat and
poultry products to the U.S. must
establish eligibility for importation of
product into the U.S. and must annually
certify that their inspection systems are
‘‘equivalent to’’ the U.S. inspection
system (9 CFR 327.2 and 381.196).
Additionally, meat and poultry products
intended for import into the U.S. must
be accompanied by a certificate, signed
by an official of the foreign government,
stating that the products have been
produced by certified foreign
establishments (9 CFR 327.2 and
381.197). Official import inspection
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 meat and poultry
product (9 CFR 327.4 and 381.198).
Additionally, FSIS has established
procedures that allow import facilities
importing product to stamp such
product with the inspection legend
prior to FSIS inspection, if they receive
prior FSIS approval (9 CFR 327.10 and
381.204). Import facilities wishing to
pre-stamp must submit a letter to FSIS
requesting approval. Import facilities
must also keep a log of information
concerning each lot of product they
have pre-stamped.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take an average of .15 hours
per response.
Respondents: Official establishments,
warehouses, and import establishments.
Estimated Total No. of Respondents:
6,441.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses
per Respondent: 145.
