Food Safety and Inspection Service

    Title: Salmonella Control Strategies Pilot Projects.
    OMB Control Number: 0583-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: Food Safety and Inspection Service FSIS has 
been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary 
(7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as specified in the Poultry Products Inspection 
Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). This statute mandates that FSIS 
protect the public by verifying that poultry products are safe, 
wholesome, and properly labeled. This ongoing, voluntary data 
collection will provide comprehensive information about pathogen 
control and the measurement strategies necessary for an effective 
poultry products inspection program.
    Need and Use of the Information: On October 19, 2021, USDA 
announced that FSIS would mobilize a stronger and more comprehensive 
effort to reduce Salmonella illnesses associated with poultry products. 
A key component of this effort is identifying ways to incentivize the 
use of preharvest controls to reduce Salmonella contamination coming 
into the slaughterhouse. Under the pilot projects program, 
establishments will experiment with new or existing pathogen control 
and measurement strategies and share data with FSIS. Associations may 
also submit aggregate data. The data will be analyzed by FSIS to 
determine whether they support changes to FSIS existing Salmonella 
control strategies.
    Description of Respondents: Business-for-not for-profit; Farms; 
State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Other (one-time).
    Total Burden Hours: 620.
