Title: NIFA Current Research
Information System (CRIS).
OMB Control Number: 0524–0042.
Summary of Collection: The United
States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) administers several
competitive, peer-reviewed research,
education and extension programs,
under which awards of a high-priority
are made. These programs are
authorized pursuant to the authorities
contained in the National Agricultural
Research, Extension, and Teaching
Policy Act of 1977, as amended (7
U.S.C. 3101); the Smith-Lever Act; and
other legislative authorities. The Current
Research Information System (CRIS) is
USDA’s documentation and reporting
system for ongoing research and
education activities in agriculture, food
science, human nutrition, and forestry.
CRIS operates administratively under
NIFA, but is a cooperative endeavor
whereby information is collected on a
project-by-project basis from many
participant organizations, both federal
and non-federal. Information is received
from USDA agencies, State Agricultural
Experiment Stations, the state landgrant colleges and universities, the
institutions of 1890, state schools of
forestry, cooperating schools of
veterinary medicine, USDA grant
recipients, and other cooperating
institutions. The information is
collected primarily via the Internet
using CRIS Web forms.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collected information is necessary in
order to provide descriptive information
regarding individual research activities
and integrated activities, to document
expenditures and staff support for the
activities, and to monitor the progress
and impact of such activities. The
information obtained through the
collection process for CRIS furnishes
unique data that is not available from
any other source. Interruption in the
collection process, or failure to collect
this information, would severely
compromise one of NIFA’ primary
functions stated in the agency’s strategic
plan of ‘‘providing program leadership
to identify, develop, and manage
programs to support university-based
and other institutional research.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pathogen Reduction/HACCP
Systems.
OMB Number: 0583–0103.
Expiration Date of Approval: 12/31/
2010.
Type of Request: Revision 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 provide that FSIS is
to protect the public by verifying that
meat and poultry products are safe,
wholesome, not adulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is planning to request a revision
of an approved information collection
addressing paperwork and
recordkeeping requirements regarding
Pathogen Reduction and HACCP
Systems because OMB approval will
expire on December 31, 2010, and to
include the use of video recordkeeping.
The Agency is revising the Pathogen
Reduction/HACCP systems information
collection based on its most recent
establishment data. In addition, FSIS is
adding information concerning the use
of video recordkeeping for HACCP
records and Sanitation Standard
Operating Systems (SOPs) records.
Approximately one percent of meat and
poultry establishments are using video
records, which accounts for about one
percent of the burden hours in this
information collection.
FSIS has established requirements
applicable to meat and poultry
establishments designed to reduce the
occurrence and numbers of pathogenic
microorganisms on meat and poultry
products, reduce the incidence of
foodborne illness associated with the
consumption of those products, and
provide a framework for modernization
of the meat and poultry inspection
system. The regulations (1) Require that
each establishment develop, implement,
and revise, as needed, written
Sanitation Standard Operating
Procedures (Sanitation SOPs) (9 CFR
