Comments regarding this information collection received by January 21, 2025 will be considered.

Food Safety and Inspection Service

Title: Petitions for Rulemaking.

OMB Control Number: 0583-0136.

[top] 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 Product Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031 et seq. ). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by ensuring that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. The Administrative Procedures Act requires that Federal agencies give interested persons the right to petition for issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule (5 U.S.C. 553 (e)). FSIS has regulations (9 CFR 392) governing petitions to the Agency to issue, amend, or repeal its regulations.

Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will use the information associated with petitions to assess the merits of the petition and to determine whether to issue, amend, or repeal its regulations. If the information is not collected or collected less frequently, it would reduce the effectiveness of the meat, poultry, and egg products inspection program.

Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.

Number of Respondents: 10.

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.

Total Burden Hours: 400.
