Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Electronic Import Inspection.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0159.
    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). These statues mandate that FSIS protect the public by 
verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, and 
properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires foreign governments 
to submit additional information when submitting both the foreign 
establishment certificate and the foreign inspection certificate to 
FSIS for foreign establishments to be permitted to import product to 
the United States. The information that is required with the Foreign 
Establishment Certificate includes: the type of operation(s) conducted 
at the establishment (e.g., slaughter, processing, storage, exporting 
warehouse); the establishment's eligibility status (e.g., new or 
relisted (if previously delisted)); and, slaughter and processing 
establishment certifications that address the species and type of 
product(s) produced at the establishment and the process category.
    Additional information that is required with the Foreign Inspection 
Certificate includes: the species used to produce the product and the 
source country and foreign establishment number; whether the source 
materials originate from a country other than the exporting country; 
the product's description, including the process category, the product 
category, and the product group; the address of the consignor; the 
address of the consignee; the name and address of the exporter; the 
name and address of the importer;

and, any additional information the Administrator requests to determine 
whether the product is eligible to be imported into the U.S.
    To conduct the information collections less frequently would 
inhibit the ability of FSIS to ensure that imported product is safe, 
wholesome, and not adulterated.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 939.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 49,385.
