SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Agency: USDA, AMS.
(2) Title: Regulations for the
Inspection of Eggs (Egg Products
Inspection Act).
(3) OMB Number: 0581–0113.
(4) Expiration Date of Approval: June
30, 2021.
(5) Type of Request: Request for
extension of and revision of a currently
approved information collection.
(6) Abstract: Congress enacted the
EPIA (21 U.S.C. 1031–1056) to provide,
in part, a mandatory inspection program
to control the disposition of dirty and
checked shell eggs; to control
unwholesome, adulterated, and inedible
shell eggs that are unfit for human
consumption; and to control the
movement and disposition of imported
shell eggs.
The EPIA authorized USDA to issue
regulations describing how this function
would be carried out to ensure that only
eggs fit for human consumption are
used for such purposes. To this end,
USDA published the EPIA, commonly
referred to as the Shell Egg Surveillance
Program, in 7 CFR part 57.
Under the Shell Egg Surveillance
Program, shell egg handlers and
hatcheries are required to register with
USDA. A State or Federal surveillance
inspector visits each registered handler
quarterly to verify that shell eggs packed
for consumer use are in compliance
with the regulations (e.g., restricted eggs
are not used for human consumption,
storage temperatures are maintained at
45 degrees ambient, etc.), that restricted
eggs are being disposed of properly, and
that adequate records are being
maintained.
The information and recordkeeping
requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent of
Congress, to administer the mandatory
inspection program, and to take
regulatory action, in accordance with
the regulations and the EPIA. The forms
within this collection package require
the minimum information necessary to
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
effectively carry out the requirements of
the regulations, and their use is
necessary to fulfill the intent of the
EPIA.
The information collected is used
only by authorized representatives of
the AMS Livestock and Poultry
Program’s Quality Assessment Division,
which includes State agencies
authorized to conduct inspections on
AMS’ behalf. The information is only
used to verify compliance with the EPIA
and the regulations, and it is used to
facilitate regulatory action. AMS is the
primary user of the information;
secondary users include each
authorized State agency that has a
cooperative agreement with AMS. There
have been no changes in the Shell Egg
Surveillance Program or in the
information collection requirements.
There is an overall decrease of ¥462.85
burden hours and a decrease of 45
respondents from the previous
submission primarily due to industry
consolidation.
(7) Estimate of Burden: Public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .28
hours per response.
(8) Respondents: Businesses or other
for-profits, and small businesses or
organizations.
(9) Estimated Number of
Respondents: 760.
(10) Estimated Number of Responses
per Respondent: 7.
(11) Estimated Total Annual
Responses: 5,235.50.
(12) Estimated Total Annual Burden
on Respondents: 1,479.43 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of AMS, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
AMS’ estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All responses will
become a matter of public record,
