will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the

collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

    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: Interstate Shipment of Meat and Poultry Products.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0143.
    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.) 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 products 
are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled and packaged.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to 
ensure that all establishments operating under the voluntary 
cooperative inspection program under which State-inspected 
establishments in participating states with 25 or fewer employees are 
eligible to ship meat and poultry products in interstate commerce. 
State-inspected establishments selected to take part in this program 
are required to comply with all Federal standards under the FMIA and 
the PPIA, as well as with all State standards. Establishments under the 
voluntary cooperative inspection program receive inspection services 
from State inspection personnel that have been trained in the 
enforcement of the FMIA and PPIA. Without the information, it would 
reduce the effectiveness of the meat and poultry inspection program 
that ensures that meat and poultry products are properly marked, 
labeled and packaged.
    Description of Respondents: State, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 67.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 733.
