The Department of Agriculture has

Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding whether the

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Petitions for Rulemaking.
OMB Control Number: 0583–0136.
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. The
Administrative Procedures Act requires
that Federal agencies give interested
persons the right to petition for
issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule
(5 U.S.C. 553 (e)). FSIS has regulations
(9 CFR 392) governing petitions to the
Agency to issue, amend, or repeal its
regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS will use the information associated
with petitions to assess the merits of the
petition and to determine whether to
issue, amend, or repeal its regulations.
If the information is not collected or
collected less frequently, it would
reduce the effectiveness of the meat,
poultry, and egg products inspection
program.
