SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Poultry Finished Product Standards.
OMB Number: 0583–NEW.
Type of Request: Request for a new
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 Poultry Products Inspection Act
(PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). This
statute mandates that FSIS protect the
public by verifying that poultry
products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged.
Since 1987, FSIS regulations have
required that processed birds meet FPS
before and after chilling to ensure that
the product being produced is
consistently wholesome and
unadulterated. By design, FPS provides
a clear picture of the effectiveness of the
dressing and evisceration process and
alerts FSIS and the establishment to a
need for adjustments before
unacceptable product is produced.
Poultry slaughter establishments that
operate under the Streamlined
Inspection System (SIS) or the New Line
Speed Inspection System (NELS) or the
New Turkey Inspection (NTI) system are
required to comply with the Poultry FPS
regulatory requirements (9 CFR
381.76(b)). These regulations require
establishments to perform and record
the results of FPS tests throughout each
shift. The forms used to document FPS
tests include the defects that must be
counted, as well as a method to
calculate the results.

verify compliance with 9 CFR 381.76(b).
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of burden: FSIS estimates
that it takes each respondent an average
of 861.23 hours per year to complete

3.
Estimated total number of
respondents: 80 Poultry Slaughter
establishments that operate under the
SIS, NELS or NTIS inspection systems.
Estimated number of responses per
respondent: 9,085.
Estimated annual number of
