    Title: Stakeholder Input on Federal outreach to Control Listeria 
Monocytogenes at Retail.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-New.
    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. 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 verifying that meat products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. FSIS intends to 
collect information from stakeholders from industry, State and public 
health and agriculture departments with responsibilities for retail 
food safety, local health departments, and grocers to gather 
information on FSIS outreach efforts related to retain best practices 
to control Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in retail delicatessens.

collection is to enhance Federal outreach and interagency coordination 
to control Lm at retail. To gather feedback to enhance Federal outreach 
and interagency coordination to control Lm at retail, FSIS, in 
collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will conduct focus 
groups with a sample of stakeholders from industry, state and local 
public health and agriculture departments, and retail delicatessens. In 
the focus groups, sample of stakeholders will be invited to provide 
input on the awareness and usefulness of existing outreach materials 
and tools related to best practices for controlling Lm in 
delicatessens, how they currently receive this type of information 
(e.g. from FSIS, FSA, CDC, State Health department, Cooperative 
Extension), and how those channels of communication could be improved.
