Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 62 / Friday, March 30, 2018 / Notices
Abstract: FSIS, by delegation (7 CFR
2.18, 2.53), exercises 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.).
These statutes mandate that FSIS
protect the public by verifying that
meat, poultry, and egg products are safe,
wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding its Consumer Complaint
Monitoring System (CCMS) web portal.
FSIS is discontinuing use of the
electronic Food Safety Mobile
questionnaire that was approved under
this collection. Therefore, the Agency
has reduced the burden estimate by 13
hours for the Food Safety Mobile
questionnaire. Additionally, FSIS has
reduced the burden hours for the CCMS
web portal by 75 hours due to updated
information about consumer
complaints. The approval for this
information collection will expire on
August 31, 2018.
FSIS tracks consumer complaints
about meat, poultry, and egg products.
Consumer complaints are usually filed
when food makes a consumer sick,
causes an allergic reaction, is not
properly labeled (misbranded), or
contains a foreign object. FSIS uses a
web portal to allow consumers to
electronically file a complaint with the
Agency about a meat, poultry, or egg
product. FSIS uses this information to
look for trends that will enhance the
Agency’s food safety efforts.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment.
Estimate of Burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 15
minutes per response.
Respondents: Consumers and
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The CCMS web portal will have
approximately 700 respondents.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: The total annual burden
time is estimated to be about 750 hours
for respondents using CCMS web portal.

assessment can be obtained from Gina
Kouba, Office of Policy and Program
