Establishments to Notify FSIS of

Expiration Date: 9/30/2018.

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.
The regulations at 9 CFR 418.2, 418.3
and 417.4(a)(3) require establishments
to notify FSIS of adulterated or
misbranded product, prepare and
maintain written recall procedures, and
document certain HACCP plan
reassessments. Accordingly, FSIS
requires three information collection
activities under these regulations. First,
FSIS requires that official
establishments notify the appropriate
District Office that an adulterated or
misbranded product received by or
originating from the establishment has
entered commerce, if the establishment
believes or has reason to believe that
this has happened. Second, FSIS
requires that establishments prepare and
maintain written procedures for the
recall of meat and poultry products
produced and shipped by the
establishment for use should it become
necessary for the establishment to
remove product from commerce. These
written recall procedures have to
specify how the establishment will
decide whether to conduct a product
recall, and how the establishment will
effect the recall should it decide that
one is necessary. Finally, FSIS requires
that establishments document each
reassessment of the establishment’s
HACCP plans. FSIS requires
establishments to reassess their HACCP
plans annually and whenever any
changes occur that could affect the
hazard analysis or alter the HACCP
plan. For annual reassessments, if the
establishment determines that no
changes are necessary, documentation
of this determination is not necessary.
FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
addressing paperwork and
recordkeeping requirements for these
three activities. The approval for this
information collection will expire on
September 30, 2018. FSIS is making no
changes to the approved collection. The
public may comment on either the
entire information collection or on one
of its three parts. FSIS has made the
following estimates based upon an
information collection assessment.
Estimate of Burden of Average Hours
per Response: 1.159.
Respondents: Official meat and
poultry products establishments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,300.
Estimated Number of Responses:
