Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Salmonella Initiative Program.
OMB Control Number: 0583–0154.
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.), 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. The
Salmonella initiative Program (SIP)
offers incentives to meat and poultry
slaughter establishments to control
Salmonella in their operations. SIP

encourages establishments to test for
microbial pathogens, which is a key
feature of effective process control.
Need and Use of the Information:
Under SIP, establishments will share
their data with the Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS); this will help
the Agency in formulating its policy.
Establishments that want to enter SIP
must send a protocol to FSIS informing
the Agency about their plans for
implementing SIP in their
establishment, including data
collection, objectives and methods of
evaluating the new technology for
which they are receiving the regulator
waiver.
