    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by 
September 1, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and 
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be 
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the 
following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

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: 3,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 750.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat and Poultry Products.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0135.
    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. A firm that has 
produced or imported meat or poultry that is adulterated or misbranded 
and is being distributed in commerce, may voluntarily recall the 
product in question. When a firm voluntarily recalls a product, FSIS 
will conduct a recall effectiveness check.
    Need and Use of the Information: In conducting a recall, the 
establishment will be asks to provide FSIS with some basic information, 
including the identity of the recalled product, the reason for the 
recall, and information about the distributors and customers of the 
product. 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. FSIS will check on the effectiveness of the recall to 
ensure that all products subject to recall are accounted for. FSIS 
field personnel will use FSIS form 8400-4 A to determine (1) if the 
retail consignee received notification of the recall and (2) the number 
of recalled products received. FSIS field personnel will also use FSIS 
form 8400-4 B to verify that product held by the retail consignee was 
properly disposed.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6,090.
    Frequency of responses: Reporting: On Occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 6,600.

U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 
public by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome,

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. Poultry

U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 
public by verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. Section 11017 of the 
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, 112 Stat 
1651, 448-49), amended the FMIA and the PPIA by adding sections 12 and 
13 to the FMIA and by amending section 10 of the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 459). 
These sections require official establishments that believe, they have 
shipped into commerce or received, misbranded, or adulterated products 
to notify the Secretary of Agriculture.
    Need and Use of the Information: Official establishments are to 
document each time they reassess their HACCP plans and make the 
reassessments available to FSIS officials for review and copying. 
Official establishments are to notify the FSIS District Office that 
they have received or have shipped into commerce misbranded or 
adulterated product. The information collected will permit FSIS 
officials to monitor closely establishments HACCP plan reassessments 
and to facilitate recalls or adulterated or misbranded product.
