SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Marking, Labeling, and
Packaging.
OMB Number: 0583–0092.
Expiration Date of Approval: 11/30/
2011.
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.), 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.).
FSIS protects the public by verifying
that meat, poultry, and egg products are
safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is requesting a revision of a
currently approved information
collection addressing paperwork
requirements specified in the
regulations related to marking, labeling,
and packaging of meat, poultry, and egg
products; and to establishments that
produce mechanically separated
poultry.
To control the manufacture of
marking devices bearing official marks,
FSIS requires official meat and poultry
establishments and the manufacturers of
such devices to submit an Authorization
Certificate to the Agency (FSIS Form
5200–7). Such certification is necessary
to help prevent the manufacture and use
of counterfeit marks of inspection (9
CFR 312.1, 317.3, 381.96 & 381.131).
Meat and poultry establishments and
egg products plants must develop labels
in accordance with FSIS regulations (9
CFR 317.1, 381.115, & 590.410). To
receive approval for such labels,
establishments must complete a form
(‘‘Application for Approval of Labels,
Marking or Device,’’ FSIS Form 7234–1).
Respondents also must submit duplicate
copies of the labels. The establishment
must maintain a copy of all the labeling
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:40 Jun 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
used, along with product formulation
and processing procedures (9 CFR
317.4). Additionally, FSIS has
developed a new form to be used by
establishments requesting
reconsideration of a label application
that the Agency has modified or rejected
(‘‘Request for Label Reconsideration,’’
FSIS Form 8822–4).
Previously approved labeling that
contains changes such as holiday season
designs, addition or deletion of
coupons, UPC production codes, or
recipe suggestions; newly assigned or
revised establishment numbers; changes
in the arrangement or language of
directions for opening containers or
serving the product; or the substitution
of abbreviations for words or vice versa,
do not need additional FSIS approval (9
CFR 317.5). Establishments must keep a
copy of the labeling used, along with the
product formulation and processing
procedures on file.
FSIS requires establishments to keep
a written guaranty on file to
demonstrate that the packaging material
they use to package product is safe and
will not adulterate product (9 CFR
317.24 and 381.144).
Poultry establishments producing
mechanically separated poultry must
have adequate controls in place,
including recordkeeping, to ensure that
such product complies with the
Agency’s requirements (9 CFR 381.173).
The Agency is revising the
information collection because it has
developed a new form that will be used
by establishments seeking
reconsideration of label applications.
Also, FSIS has revised estimates of the
total number of respondents based on
the most current data available. These
revisions support a finding of fewer
total burden hours (128,267) than there
are in the approved information
collection (155,288).
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of 4 minutes per response related to
marking; 75 minutes per response
related to labeling applications and
recordkeeping; 120 minutes per
response related to labeling
reconsideration requests; 15 minutes per
response related to generically approved
labeling recordkeeping; 2 minutes per
response related to packaging materials
recordkeeping; and 5 minutes per
response related to mechanically
separated poultry recordkeeping.
Respondents: Official meat and
poultry establishments, official egg
plants, and foreign establishments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose and need for the
proposal is to (1) salvage harvest dead
and dying lodgepole pine stands to
create managed conditions and harvest
wood products from forested stands
infested or at risk for infestation with
bark beetles before the value of the
wood deteriorate; (2) reduce forest
densities in low elevation ponderosa
pine and Douglas-fir stands and some
lodgepole pine communities to improve
resilient forest conditions; (3) use
prescribed fire as a disturbance agent in
dry forest communities that include the
mix of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to maintain forest diversity and
structure that are resilient to crown fire;
(4) create early seral conditions in mid
elevation lodgepole pine stands where
insect infested stands are dead or dying;
(5) reduce forest densities in young
previously harvested stands to maintain
long term sustained yield; and (6) treat
old growth to improve the likelihood of
retaining old growth in the landscape
because of the potential mortality from
the bark beetle infestation.
Proposed Action
The Pintler Ranger District proposes
to clearcut salvage dead and dying
lodgepole pine and harvest post and
poles on 863 acres, commercial thin
ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir on 1,007
acres, use a combination of clearcut
salvage and commercial thin on 703
acres of mixed Douglas-fir and
lodgepole pine stands, precommercial
thin 1,146 acres of Douglas-fir and
lodgepole pine stands, and prescribed
burn 1,990 acres of mixed conifer
stands. A total of 5,709 acres would be
treated within 93 units ranging in size
from two to 196 acres. Harvest and
treatment methods would include
ground-based and cable logging systems,
mechanical slash piling, hand-thinning
and piling, and aerial and hand-ignition
of prescribed fire. Approximately 10
miles of temporary roads and 72 miles
of existing Forest System roads would
be used to implement treatment
activities. All temporary roads
constructed for project implementation
would be obliterated and rehabilitated
upon project completion. The project is
proposed for implementation beginning
in 2013 and would take several years to
complete.
Responsible Official
Forest Supervisor for the BeaverheadDeerlodge National Forest, Dave Myers,
420 Barrett St., Dillon, MT 59725–3572.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Responsible Official for this
project and will decide whether to
implement the proposed action or an
alternative developed in response to
specific resource issues and public
comments.
Preliminary Issues
Preliminary issues identified by the
interdisciplinary team and the public
during a previous scoping period in July
2010, include potential impacts to
populations of westslope cutthroat trout
from treatment activities; potential to
increase runoff and erosion by removing
vegetation and ground cover; potential
to increase noxious weeds populations;
maintenance of old growth stand

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Marking, Labeling, and Packaging.
OMB Number: 0583-0092.
Expiration Date of Approval: 11/30/2011.
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.), 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.). FSIS protects the public by
verifying that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is requesting a revision of a currently approved information
collection addressing paperwork requirements specified in the
regulations related to marking, labeling, and packaging of meat,
poultry, and egg products; and to establishments that produce
mechanically separated poultry.
To control the manufacture of marking devices bearing official
marks, FSIS requires official meat and poultry establishments and the
manufacturers of such devices to submit an Authorization Certificate to
the Agency (FSIS Form 5200-7). Such certification is necessary to help
prevent the manufacture and use of counterfeit marks of inspection (9
CFR 312.1, 317.3, 381.96 & 381.131).
Meat and poultry establishments and egg products plants must
develop labels in accordance with FSIS regulations (9 CFR 317.1,
381.115, & 590.410). To receive approval for such labels,
establishments must complete a form (``Application for Approval of
Labels, Marking or Device,'' FSIS Form 7234-1). Respondents also must
submit duplicate copies of the labels. The establishment must maintain
a copy of all the labeling used, along with product formulation and
processing procedures (9 CFR 317.4). Additionally, FSIS has developed a
new form to be used by establishments requesting reconsideration of a
label application that the Agency has modified or rejected (``Request
for Label Reconsideration,'' FSIS Form 8822-4).
Previously approved labeling that contains changes such as holiday
season designs, addition or deletion of coupons, UPC production codes,
or recipe suggestions; newly assigned or revised establishment numbers;
changes in the arrangement or language of directions for opening
containers or serving the product; or the substitution of abbreviations
for words or vice versa, do not need additional FSIS approval (9 CFR
317.5). Establishments must keep a copy of the labeling used, along
with the product formulation and processing procedures on file.
FSIS requires establishments to keep a written guaranty on file to
demonstrate that the packaging material they use to package product is
safe and will not adulterate product (9 CFR 317.24 and 381.144).
Poultry establishments producing mechanically separated poultry
must have adequate controls in place, including recordkeeping, to
ensure that such product complies with the Agency's requirements (9 CFR
381.173).
The Agency is revising the information collection because it has
developed a new form that will be used by establishments seeking
reconsideration of label applications. Also, FSIS has revised estimates
of the total number of respondents based on the most current data
available. These revisions support a finding of fewer total burden
hours (128,267) than there are in the approved information collection
(155,288).
FSIS has made the following estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates that it will take respondents an
average of 4 minutes per response related to marking; 75 minutes per
response related to labeling applications and recordkeeping; 120
minutes per response related to labeling reconsideration requests; 15
minutes per response related to generically approved labeling
recordkeeping; 2 minutes per response related to packaging materials
recordkeeping; and 5 minutes per response related to mechanically
separated poultry recordkeeping.
Respondents: Official meat and poultry establishments, official egg
plants, and foreign establishments.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,736 related to marking; 3,682
related to labeling applications and recordkeeping; 74 related to
labeling reconsideration requests; 6,333 related to generically
approved labeling recordkeeping; 5,735 related to packaging materials
recordkeeping; and 82 related to mechanically separated poultry
recordkeeping.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1 related to
marking; 20 related to labeling applications and recordkeeping; 2
related to labeling reconsideration requests; 20 related to generically
approved labeling recordkeeping; 2 related to packaging materials
recordkeeping; and 455 related to mechanically separated poultry
recordkeeping.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 128,267 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 Avenue, SW, Room 6065,
