regulations by adding a new part 392
that established regulations governing
the submission of petitions for
rulemaking to FSIS.
OMB had not approved the
information collection requirements
associated with the Petitions for
Rulemaking final rule when the final
rule published. Therefore, in the
preamble to the rule, FSIS explained
that it would collect no information
associated with rule until the
information collection request received
OMB approval (74 FR 16104, 16106–
16107). OMB approved the information
collection on July 16, 2009; the OMB
number is 0583–0136.
Therefore, FSIS will now begin to
collect information associated with the
final rule. In addition, now that FSIS is
authorized to collect such information,
effective January 25, 2010 the Agency
will begin to post all petitions for
rulemaking that it receives, along with
any supporting documentation, on the
FSIS Web site at https://
www.fsis.usda.gov/
regulations_&_policies/Petitions/
index.asp (see 9 CFR 392.6(a)).
Additional Public Notification
Public awareness of all segments of
rulemaking and policy development is
important. Consequently, in an effort to
ensure that the public and in particular
minorities, women, and persons with
disabilities, are aware of this document,
FSIS will announce it on-line through
the FSIS Web page located at https://
www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations/
2009_Notices_Index/index.asp.
FSIS also will make copies of this
Federal Register publication available
through the FSIS Constituent Update,
which is used to provide information
regarding FSIS policies, procedures,
regulations, Federal Register notices,
FSIS public meetings, and other types of
information that could affect or would
be of interest to our constituents and
stakeholders. The Update is

subscription service consisting of
industry, trade, and farm groups,
consumer interest groups, allied health
professionals, scientific professionals,
