Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
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 October 16, 2023
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: Accreditation of Laboratories,
Transactions, and Exemptions.
OMB Control Number: 0583–0082.
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
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by
ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg
products are safe, wholesome, and
properly labeled and packaged. The
Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C.
642), the Poultry Products Inspection
Act (21 U.S.C. 460(b)) requires certain
parties to keep records that fully and
correctly disclose all transactions
involved in their businesses related to
relevant animal carcasses and part. FSIS
requires FSIS accredited non-Federal
analytical laboratories to maintain
certain information collection records.
FSIS collects this information using
several FSIS forms (10,000–7, 10,120–
1a, 10,120–1b, 10,120–1c, and 10,120–
1d).
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS will collect information to ensure
that all meat and poultry establishments
produce safe and wholesome product,
and that non-federal laboratories operate
in accordance with FSIS regulations. In
addition, FSIS also collects information
to ensure that meat and poultry
establishments exempted from Agency
inspection do not commingle inspected
and non-inspected meat and poultry
products, and to ensure that retail
operations determined to have violated
the requirements associated with the
retail exemptions keep sales purchase
and sales records to ensure future
compliance. If the information was not
collected or collected less frequently it
would reduce the effectiveness of the
meat and poultry inspection program.

In the Matter of: Katie Ellen O’Brien,
1026 East Spence Avenue, Unit 103,
Tempe, AZ 85281; Amended Order
Denying Export Privileges
On January 17, 2019, in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Arizona,
Katie Ellen O’Brien (‘‘O’Brien’’) was
convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a)
and 18 U.S.C. 1001(a)(2). Specifically,
O’Brien was convicted of making false
statements or misrepresentations to the
U.S. Government during the course of
an investigation and smuggling and

attempting to smuggle firearms from the
United States to Mexico. As a result of
her conviction, the Court sentenced
O’Brien to 60 months confinement with
credit for time served, three years
supervised release, and a $600 special
assessment.
On April 12, 2023, I issued an order
denying O’Brien’s export privileges,
pursuant to section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
for a period of 10 years from the date of
her conviction. In addition, the Order
also incorporated the Office of Exporter
Services decision to revoke any Bureau
of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
licenses or other authorizations issued
under ECRA, in which O’Brien had an
interest at the time of her conviction. 2
Prior to issuance of the April 12, 2023
Order, as provided in section 766.25 of
the Export Administration Regulations
(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’), BIS
provided notice and opportunity for
O’Brien to make a written submission to
BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.3 BIS did not receive
a written submission from O’Brien.
Following issuance of the April 12,
2023 Order, BIS received notification
that the last known address listed on the
Order was incorrect. Specifically, BIS
has since learned that another
individual named Katie O’Brien, who is
not the intended subject of the Denial
Order, resides at the address listed on
the April 12, 2023 Order. BIS has
subsequently obtained updated
information that indicates that the last
known address for the individual who
is the intended subject of the Denial
Order is 1026 East Spence Avenue, Unit
103, Tempe, AZ 85281. Therefore, BIS
is amending the April 12, 2023 Order to
reflect the last known address of the
individual convicted of the listed
offenses for purposes of the denial of
this individual’s export privileges.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
First, from the date of this Order until
January 17, 2029, Katie Ellen O’Brien,
with a last known address of 1026 East
Spence Avenue, Unit 103, Tempe, AZ
85281, and when acting for or on her
behalf, her successors, assigns,
employees, agents or representatives
(‘‘the Denied Person’’), may not directly

In the Matter of: Katie Ellen O'Brien, 1026 East Spence Avenue,
Unit 103, Tempe, AZ 85281; Amended Order Denying Export Privileges
On January 17, 2019, in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Arizona, Katie Ellen O'Brien (``O'Brien'') was convicted of violating
18 U.S.C. 554(a) and 18 U.S.C. 1001(a)(2). Specifically, O'Brien was

On April 12, 2023, I issued an order denying O'Brien's export
