SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat,
Poultry, and Egg Products.
OMB Number: 0583–0135.
Expiration Date of Approval: 9/30/
2021.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
approved information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), 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 a renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding voluntary recalls from
commerce of meat, poultry, and egg
products. There are no changes to the
existing burden estimates for this
information collection. The approval for
this information collection will expire
on September 30, 2021.
FSIS may request that a firm that has
produced or imported meat, poultry, or
egg products that are adulterated or
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
19217
misbranded and has distributed such
products in commerce recall the
products in question. When there is a
recall, FSIS asks that the recalling firm
(e.g., a manufacturer, distributor, or
importer of record) provide the Agency
with basic information, including the
identity of the recalled product, the
reason for the recall, and information
about the distributors and retail
consignees to whom the product was
shipped. Under the FMIA, firms are
required to keep such records that fully
and correctly disclose all transactions in
their business (21 U.S.C. 642). Under
the PPIA, firms are required to keep
such records as are properly necessary
for the effective enforcement of the PPIA
(21 U.S.C. 460(b)).
Industry representatives use the FSIS
Form 5020–3 FSIS Preliminary Inquiry
Worksheet to provide firm contact
information and specific details
regarding adulterated or misbranded
product in commerce, including
product identifiers, product amounts
and supplemental information.
Recalling firms and distributors then
use the FSIS Form 5020–4 FSIS Recall
Distribution Information Template to
provide the location and contact
information of consignees who received
recalled product.
When a firm voluntarily recalls a
product, FSIS conducts recall
effectiveness checks. In conducting
recall effectiveness checks, if the recall
is to the retail or consumer level, the
Agency contacts the distributors and
retail consignees to ensure that they
were notified of the recall, to verify the
amount of product they received, and to
confirm that they are removing the
product from commerce and returning it
to the recalling firm or otherwise
disposing of the product.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment.
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of approximately 1.08 hours to collect
and make this information available to
FSIS.
Respondents: Official establishments,
importers of record, and retail
consignees.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,090.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 6,600 hours.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Copies of this information collection
assessment can be obtained from Gina
