Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Exportation, Transportation,
and Importation of Meat and Poultry
Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583–0094.
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.) 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 requires that meat and
poultry establishments exporting
products to foreign countries complete
an export certificate. 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 FSIS seal to prevent such
unmarked product from entering into
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. Foreign countries
exporting meat and poultry products to
the U.S. must establish eligibility for
importation of product into the U.S.,
and annually certify that their
inspection systems are ‘‘equivalent to’’
the U.S. inspection system. 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
certified foreign establishments have
produced the products. FSIS will collect
information using three FSIS forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS will collect information to identify
the product type, quantity, destination,
and originating country of the meat and
poultry. Also, FSIS will collect name,
number, method of shipping, and
destination of product, type and
description of product to be shipped,
reason for shipping product, and a
signature. FSIS will use the information
to verify that a meat or poultry product
intended for import has been prepared
in a plant certified to prepare product
for export to the U.S. FSIS will use the

other credit when they are able to do so.

lending, as Government loans beyond a
borrower’s need for subsidized rates of

instruments, or loan agreements of most
borrowers require borrowers to
refinance their Agency loans when other
credit becomes available at reasonable

other credit is not available at
reasonable rates and terms, the Agency
will continue to review the borrower for
possible graduation at periodic
intervals. Information will be collected
from the borrowers concerning their
loans.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information submitted by RBS and RHS
borrowers to Agency offices is used to
graduate direct borrowers to private
