Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 19, 
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the 
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of 
the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Analyzing Consumers' Value of ``Product of USA'' Labeling 
Claims.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-New.
    Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 
(USDA's) 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.) and Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 453 
et seq.). This statute mandates that FSIS protect the public by 
verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, 
unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. The FSIS Food 
Standards and Labeling Policy Book (the ``Policy Book'') provides 
guidance to help meat and poultry product manufacturers prepare product 
labels that are truthful and not misleading.
    The ``Policy Book'' states that labeling may bear the phrase 
``Product of USA'' under one of the following conditions: (1) If the 
country to which the product is exported requires this phrase, and the 
product is processed in the United States or (2) if the product is 
processed in the United States (i.e., is of domestic origin).
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will conduct a web-based 
survey/experiment that will address three primary research questions: 
(1) Do consumers notice the ``Product of USA'' labeling claim?; (2) Do 
consumers understand the current ``Product of USA'' definition and 
other ``USDA'' labeling (e.g., ``USDA Choice'') as it relates to 
country of origin?; and (3) How much are consumers willing to pay for 
meat products bearing the ``Product of USA'' labeling claim for the 
current definition and potential revised definitions (e.g., if the meat 
were from an animal that was born, raised, slaughtered, and processed 
in the United States)?
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 9,873.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,815.

    Dated: April 14, 2022.
