    Comments regarding this information collection received by 
September 13, 2018 will be considered. Written comments should be 
addressed to: Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New 
Executive Office Building, 725--17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20502. 
Commenters are encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Consumer Complaint Monitoring System.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0133.
    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.), and the Egg Product Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 
U.S.C. 1031 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. FSIS tracks consumer 
complaints about meat, poultry, and egg products. Consumer complaints 
are usually filed because food made the consumer sick, caused an 
allergic reaction, was not properly labeled (misbranded).
    Need and Use of the Information: The Consumer Complaint Monitoring 
System web portal is used primarily to track consumer complaints 
regarding meat, poultry, and egg products. FSIS will use the 
information collected from the web portal. To not collect the 
information from the web portal would reduce the effectiveness of the 
meat, poultry, and egg products inspection program.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 750.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 175.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Animal Disposition Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0139.
    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.) and 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. FSIS also inspects 
exotic animals and rabbits under the authority of the Agricultural 
Marketing Act of 1946, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.). In 
accordance with 9 CFR 320.6, 381.180, 352.15, and 354.91, 
establishments that slaughter meat, poultry, exotic animals, and 
rabbits are required to maintain certain records regarding their 
business operations and to report this information to the Agency as 
required.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information from 
establishments using FSIS Form 6510-7, Poultry Lot Information. FSIS 
uses this information to plan inspection activities, to develop 
sampling plans, to target establishments for testing, to develop Agency 
budget, and to develop reports to Congress.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,159.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (daily).
    Total Burden Hours: 23.180.
