SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Interstate Shipment of Meat and
Poultry.
OMB Number: 0583–0143.
Type of Request: Request to renew 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.), and the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 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.
FSIS administers a voluntary
cooperative inspection program under
which State-inspected establishments in
participating states with 25 or fewer
employees are eligible to ship meat and
poultry products in interstate commerce
(21 U.S.C. 683 and U.S.C. 472) (9 CFR
321.3, 9 CFR part 332, 9 CFR 381.187,
and 9 CFR part 381 subpart Z). In
participating States, State-inspected
establishments selected to take part in
this program are required to comply
with all Federal standards under the
FMIA and the PPIA, as well as with all
State standards. These establishments
receive inspection services from State
inspection personnel who have been
trained in the enforcement of the FMIA
and PPIA.
Meat and poultry products produced
under the program that have been
inspected and passed by designated
State personnel bear an official Federal
mark of inspection and are permitted to
be distributed in interstate commerce.
FSIS provides oversight and
enforcement of the program.
States that are interested in
participating in the cooperative
interstate shipment program need to
submit a request for an agreement to
establish such a program through the
appropriate FSIS District Office (9 CFR
332.4 and 9 CFR 381.514). In its request,
a State must agree to comply with
certain conditions to qualify for the
interstate shipment program. The State
must also: (1) Identify establishments in
the State that the State recommends for
initial selection into the program, if any,
and (2) include documentation to
demonstrate that the State is able to
provide necessary inspection services to
selected establishments in the State and
conduct any related activities that
would be required under a cooperative

interstate shipment program. FSIS
reviews the State’s request to determine
whether to approve the State to
participate in the cooperative interstate
shipment program.
If a State determines that an
establishment qualifies to participate in
the cooperative interstate shipment
program, and the State is able, and
willing, to provide the necessary
inspection services at the establishment,
the State is to submit its evaluation of
the establishment to the FSIS District
Office that covers the State (76 FR
24713).
FSIS, in coordination with the State,
will then decide whether to select the
establishments for the program.
Establishments that qualify for this
program must meet all requirements
under the FMIA or PPIA, and
implementing regulations, including
FSIS requirements for recordkeeping (9
CFR 332.5 and 9 CFR 381.515). Most
State-inspected establishments will
already have met these recordkeeping
requirements, but some establishments
will need to make minor adjustments to
their recordkeeping to meet FSIS
requirements.
The FSIS selected establishment
coordinator (SEC) is responsible for
overseeing a State’s cooperative
inspection program. The SEC will visit
each selected establishment in the State
on a regular basis to verify that the
establishment is operating in a manner
that is consistent with the FMIA or PPIA
and the implementing regulations (9
CFR 332.7 and 9 CFR 381.517).
The approval for this information
collection will expire on February 28,
2023. FSIS is making no changes to the
information collection. FSIS has made
the following estimates based on an
information collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take each new State an
average of 40 hours to prepare and
submit a request to establish a
cooperative interstate shipment
program.
FSIS estimates that it will take each
State 24 hours to prepare and submit an
evaluation for each new establishment
entering the program. FSIS estimates
that States will submit approximately 3
evaluations per year.
FSIS estimates that 15 establishments
per year, out of the current 60
participating establishments, will spend
16 hours to modify their recordkeeping
procedures to comply with Federal
standards and 5 minutes per
establishment to file these records. The
State will need to provide these records
during the initial verification visit when
the FSIS SEC verifies the State
nomination to select the establishment

into the program. FSIS estimates 15
minutes per establishment to provide
the records for the verification
assessment.
Respondents: States and
establishments.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 7
states and 60 establishments.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses
per Respondent: FSIS estimates there
will be one request per each new State
to establish a cooperative interstate
shipment program per year. There will
be a one-time modification of records
for each newly selected establishment
whose recordkeeping does not comply
with all Federal standards. The total
number of estimated annual responses
is 777.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 733 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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The federal government operates
several different stockpiles, and these
are managed by different federal
agencies depending on the stockpile’s
purpose. For example, the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
manages the Strategic National
Stockpile, which contains medicines
and medical equipment. HHS’ stockpile
can supplement medical
countermeasures needed by states, tribal
nations, territories and the largest
metropolitan areas during public health
emergencies. Another example, the
Department of Energy operates the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve for use
when the international oil market is
severely disrupted.
The Department of Defense (DOD)
maintains a stockpile of critical and
strategic materials known as the
National Defense Stockpile (NDS). In a
war or national emergency, this
stockpile is meant to provide strategic
and critical materials to support
national defense and essential civilian
requirements in a time of national
emergency. The stockpile currently
contains 57 materials, primarily

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Interstate Shipment of Meat and Poultry.
OMB Number: 0583-0143.
Type of Request: Request to renew 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.), and the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 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.
FSIS administers a voluntary cooperative inspection program under
which State-inspected establishments in participating states with 25 or
fewer employees are eligible to ship meat and poultry products in
interstate commerce (21 U.S.C. 683 and U.S.C. 472) (9 CFR 321.3, 9 CFR
part 332, 9 CFR 381.187, and 9 CFR part 381 subpart Z). In
participating States, State-inspected establishments selected to take
part in this program are required to comply with all Federal standards
under the FMIA and the PPIA, as well as with all State standards. These
establishments receive inspection services from State inspection
personnel who have been trained in the enforcement of the FMIA and
PPIA.
Meat and poultry products produced under the program that have been
inspected and passed by designated State personnel bear an official
Federal mark of inspection and are permitted to be distributed in
interstate commerce. FSIS provides oversight and enforcement of the
program.
States that are interested in participating in the cooperative
interstate shipment program need to submit a request for an agreement
to establish such a program through the appropriate FSIS District
Office (9 CFR 332.4 and 9 CFR 381.514). In its request, a State must
agree to comply with certain conditions to qualify for the interstate
shipment program. The State must also: (1) Identify establishments in
the State that the State recommends for initial selection into the
program, if any, and (2) include documentation to demonstrate that the
State is able to provide necessary inspection services to selected
establishments in the State and conduct any related activities that
would be required under a cooperative interstate shipment program. FSIS
reviews the State's request to determine whether to approve the State
to participate in the cooperative interstate shipment program.
If a State determines that an establishment qualifies to
participate in the cooperative interstate shipment program, and the
State is able, and willing, to provide the necessary inspection
services at the establishment, the State is to submit its evaluation of
the establishment to the FSIS District Office that covers the State (76
FR 24713).
FSIS, in coordination with the State, will then decide whether to
select the establishments for the program. Establishments that qualify
for this program must meet all requirements under the FMIA or PPIA, and
implementing regulations, including FSIS requirements for recordkeeping
(9 CFR 332.5 and 9 CFR 381.515). Most State-inspected establishments
will already have met these recordkeeping requirements, but some
establishments will need to make minor adjustments to their
recordkeeping to meet FSIS requirements.
The FSIS selected establishment coordinator (SEC) is responsible
for overseeing a State's cooperative inspection program. The SEC will
visit each selected establishment in the State on a regular basis to
verify that the establishment is operating in a manner that is
consistent with the FMIA or PPIA and the implementing regulations (9
CFR 332.7 and 9 CFR 381.517).
The approval for this information collection will expire on
February 28, 2023. FSIS is making no changes to the information
collection. FSIS has made the following estimates based on an
information collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates that it will take each new State
an average of 40 hours to prepare and submit a request to establish a
cooperative interstate shipment program.
FSIS estimates that it will take each State 24 hours to prepare and
submit an evaluation for each new establishment entering the program.
FSIS estimates that States will submit approximately 3 evaluations per
year.
FSIS estimates that 15 establishments per year, out of the current
60 participating establishments, will spend 16 hours to modify their
recordkeeping procedures to comply with Federal standards and 5 minutes
per establishment to file these records. The State will need to provide
these records during the initial verification visit when the FSIS SEC
verifies the State nomination to select the establishment into the
program. FSIS estimates 15 minutes per establishment to provide the
records for the verification assessment.
Respondents: States and establishments.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 7 states and 60 establishments.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses per Respondent: FSIS estimates
there will be one request per each new State to establish a cooperative
interstate shipment program per year. There will be a one-time
modification of records for each newly selected establishment whose
recordkeeping does not comply with all Federal standards. The total
number of estimated annual responses is 777.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 733 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
