According to a Federal Register notice, FSIS collects information on foreign inspection certificates required by FSIS from foreign countries to export meat, poultry and egg products to the United States; documentation required by FSIS from official import establishments to pre-stamp imported product with the inspection legend before reinspection is complete; and documentation required from official establishments to transport meat and poultry shipments under seal.
Comments are invited on, among other things, whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FSIS to perform its functions, including whether the information will have practical utility once collected.
Comments on this information collection must be received by April 21.
