    Title: Registration Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0128.
    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.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 
U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 
public by ensuring that meat and poultry are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. According to the 
regulations (9 CFR 320.5 and 381.179), parties required to register

address of all locations at which they conduct the business that 
requires them to register and all trade or business names under which 
they conduct these businesses. FSIS uses this information to maintain a 
database of these businesses. If the information were not collected, it 
would reduce the effectiveness of the meat and poultry inspection 
program.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 80.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Other (Once).
    Total Burden Hours: 150.
