Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Small Meat Processor Survey.
    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 (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the Federal Meat 
Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This statute mandates 
that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat products are safe, 
wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information 
using a survey on small and very small meat processing plants about a

Agreement with the College of Agriculture at Oregon State University, 
to conduct this review for small and very small establishments. Oregon 
State will develop a draft report based on multiple data sources. This 
draft report will then be distributed to a wider audience of key 
stakeholders that are small plant operators. Oregon will ask those 
stakeholders to read the draft report and fill out a short survey to 
gather their feedback.
    Description of Respondent: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
