Abstract:
To collect information on the labeling, marking, and packaging of meat, poultry, and egg products. To control the manufacture of marking devices bearing official marks, FSIS requires official meat and poultry establishments and the manufacturers of such marking devices to submit an Authorization Certificate form to the Agency. To ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products are accurately labeled, FSIS approves meat, poultry, and egg products labeling. To ensure that packaging materials do not adulterate meat or poultry products, FSIS requires a written guaranty that the packaging materials conform to Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301, et. seq.) regulations for food contact materials. FSIS also requires establishments that use advanced poultry/bone separation machinery and recovery systems to have controls in place, including recordkeeping, to ensure that products do not exceed the calcium level standard.

Short Statement:
FSIS has decreased its estimate of total annual burden hours from 155,288 to 128,267. This decrease is the result of a change in the number of respondents FSIS estimates will be affected by this information collection. The number of estimated respondents has changed as a result of a reduction in the total number of official establishments between 2007 and today, even though FSIS has added a new form, FSIS Form 8822-4, Request for Label Reconsideration.
