FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding egg products HACCP and
Sanitation SOPs. There are no changes
to the information collection. The
approval for this information collection
will expire on January 31, 2024.
FSIS requires official plants to
develop and maintain HACCP plans and
Sanitation SOPs, as well as various
transaction records. The plant maintains
on file the name and a brief resume of
the HACCP trained individuals who
participate in the hazard analysis and
subsequent development of the HACCP
plans. Plants develop written HACCP
plans that include: identification of
hazards reasonably likely to occur in the
production process; identification and
description of the critical control point
(CCP) for each identified hazard;
specification of the critical limit which
may not be exceeded at the CCP, and,
if appropriate, a target limit; description
of the monitoring procedure or device to
be used; description of the corrective
action to be taken if the limit is
exceeded; description of the records
which would be generated and
maintained regarding this CCP; and
description of the facility verification
activities and the frequency at which
they are to be conducted. The adequacy
of a plant’s HACCP plan must be
reassessed at least annually and
whenever changes occur that could
affect the hazard analysis or alter the
HACCP plan.
Each processor is also required to
develop and maintain a Sanitation SOP.
The Sanitation SOP specifies the
cleaning and sanitizing procedures for
all equipment and facilities involved in
the production of every product. As part
of the Sanitation SOP, a plant employee
records results of daily sanitation
checks at the frequencies stated in the
Sanitation SOP. The burden of
documenting the adherence to the
Sanitation SOP is based on three factors:
Recording, reviewing, and storage.
Recording encompasses conducting and
inscribing the finding from an
observation and filing of the document
produced.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Respondents: Official egg products
plants.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 132.
Estimated No. of Responses: 138,596.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 76,280 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.
