                 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 August
                12, 2019 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to:
                Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory
                Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office
                Building, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are
                encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to:
                [email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental
                Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-

                 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 Inspection System.
                 OMB Control Number: 0583-0153.
                 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
                ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome,
                unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
                 Need and Use of the Information: FSIS uses a Web-based system that
                supports FSIS inspection operations and facilitates industry members'
                application for inspection, export, and import of meat, poultry, and
                egg products. Industry members use FSIS forms in the Public Health
                Information System (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. Paper forms will also be available to
                firms that do not wish to use PHIS. To submit information through PHIS,
                firms' employees will need to register for a USDA eAuthentication
                account with Level 2 access.
                 Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
                 Number of Respondents: 6,242.
                 Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
                 Total Burden Hours: 115,117.
