    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 and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. In accordance with 9 
CFR 327.17, 381.209, and 590.965, exported products returned to this

a federally inspected facility for food safety and food defense 
determinations.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information 
using FSIS form 9010-1, ``Application for the Return of Exported 
Products to the United States.'' The purpose of the form is to allow 
OIA to decide whether re-inspection of the returned product is needed 
and to notify the appropriate FSIS office where to perform the re-
inspection of the product, if necessary.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
