DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


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 November 
24, 2023 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: Public Health Information System.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-0153.
    Summary of Collection: FSIS has been delegated the authority to 
exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as 
specified 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, et 
seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying 
that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and properly 
labeled.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS uses a Web-based system that 
improves FSIS inspection operations and facilitates industry members' 
applications for inspection, export, and import of meat, poultry, and 
egg products. Industry members use FSIS forms in PHIS. Industry is able 
to submit some of these forms through a series of screens in PHIS; 
other forms are available in PHIS only as electronic forms. To not 
collect the information would inhibit the ability of FSIS to ensure 
that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and properly 
labeled.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6,294.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 116,074.
