SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation and Transportation
of Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products.
OMB Number: 0583–0094.
Expiration Date: 07/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision 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 revision of the
information collection regarding the
importation and transportation of
certain meat, poultry, and egg products.
The approval for this information
collection will expire on July 31, 2022.
FSIS is reducing the total burden
estimate by 349 hours due to updated
information.
This information collection includes
(1) foreign inspection certificates from
foreign countries required by FSIS to
export meat, poultry, and egg products
to the United States (9 CFR 327.2 and
381.196); (2) documentation required by
FSIS from official import establishments
to pre-stamp imported product with the
inspection legend before reinspection is
complete (9 CFR 327.10(d) and
381.204(f)); and (3) documentation
required from official establishments to
transport meat and poultry shipments
under seal (FSIS Form 7350–1, Request
and Notice of Shipment of Sealed Meat
and Poultry) (9 CFR 325.5).
(1) Foreign countries that wish to
export meat, poultry, and egg products
to the United States must establish
eligibility to do so by putting in place
inspection systems that are ‘‘equivalent
to’’ the U.S. inspection system (9 CFR
327.2 and 381.196) and by annually
certifying that they continue to do so.
Meat, poultry, and egg products
intended for importation into the U.S.
must be accompanied by an inspection
certificate signed by an official of the
foreign government responsible for the
inspection and certification of the
product (9 CFR 327.4, 381.197, and
590.915).
(2) Import establishments that wish to
pre-stamp imported product with the
inspection legend before FSIS
inspection is complete must submit a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:20 Mar 09, 2022
Jkt 256001
letter to FSIS that explains and requests
approval for the establishment’s prestamping procedure (9 CFR 327.10(d)
and 381.204(f)).
(3) Unless accounted for in an
establishment’s HACCP plan, meat and
poultry products that do not bear the
mark of inspection and that are to be
shipped from one official establishment
to another for further processing must
be transported under USDA seal to
prevent such unmarked product from
entering into commerce (9 CFR 325.5).
To track product shipped under seal,
FSIS requires the shipping
establishment to complete FSIS Form
7350–1, which identifies the type,
amount, and weight of the product.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based on an information
collection assessment.
Respondents: Importers,
establishments, foreign governments.
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it takes each respondent an average
of 54.07 hours per year to complete the
foreign inspection certificates, prestamp documentation, and
documentation required to transport
meat and poultry shipments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
68.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3,677 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
Kouba, Office of Policy and Program
Development, Food Safety and
Inspection Service, USDA, 1400

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FSIS’ functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’ estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the method and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information,
including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of
information technology. Comments may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation and Transportation of Meat, Poultry, and Egg
Products.
OMB Number: 0583-0094.
Expiration Date: 07/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision 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 revision of the information collection
regarding the importation and transportation of certain meat, poultry,
and egg products. The approval for this information collection will
expire on July 31, 2022. FSIS is reducing the total burden estimate by
349 hours due to updated information.
This information collection includes (1) foreign inspection
certificates from foreign countries required by FSIS to export meat,
poultry, and egg products to the United States (9 CFR 327.2 and
381.196); (2) documentation required by FSIS from official import
establishments to pre-stamp imported product with the inspection legend
before reinspection is complete (9 CFR 327.10(d) and 381.204(f)); and
(3) documentation required from official establishments to transport
meat and poultry shipments under seal (FSIS Form 7350-1, Request and
Notice of Shipment of Sealed Meat and Poultry) (9 CFR 325.5).
(1) Foreign countries that wish to export meat, poultry, and egg
products to the United States must establish eligibility to do so by
putting in place inspection systems that are ``equivalent to'' the U.S.
inspection system (9 CFR 327.2 and 381.196) and by annually certifying
that they continue to do so. Meat, poultry, and egg products intended
for importation into the U.S. must be accompanied by an inspection
certificate signed by an official of the foreign government responsible
for the inspection and certification of the product (9 CFR 327.4,
381.197, and 590.915).
(2) Import establishments that wish to pre-stamp imported product
with the inspection legend before FSIS inspection is complete must
submit a letter to FSIS that explains and requests approval for the
establishment's pre-stamping procedure (9 CFR 327.10(d) and
381.204(f)).
(3) Unless accounted for in an establishment's HACCP plan, meat and
poultry products that do not bear the mark of inspection and that are
to be shipped from one official establishment to another for further
processing must be transported under USDA seal to prevent such unmarked
product from entering into commerce (9 CFR 325.5). To track product
shipped under seal, FSIS requires the shipping establishment to
complete FSIS Form 7350-1, which identifies the type, amount, and
weight of the product.
FSIS has made the following estimates based on an information
collection assessment.
Respondents: Importers, establishments, foreign governments.
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates that it takes each respondent an
average of 54.07 hours per year to complete the foreign inspection
certificates, pre- stamp documentation, and documentation required to
transport meat and poultry shipments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 68.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,677 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 Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development,
Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW,
Mailstop 3758, South Building, Washington, DC 20250-3700; (202) 720-
5627.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of FSIS' functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of FSIS' estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the method and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information, including through the use of appropriate
