Food Safety and Inspection Service *Title:* Electronic Import Inspection. *OMB Control Number:* 0583-0159. *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 verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled and packaged. *Need and Use of the Information:* FSIS requires foreign governments to submit additional information when submitting both the foreign establishment certificate and the foreign inspection certificate to FSIS for foreign establishments to be permitted to import product to the United States. The information that is required with the Foreign Establishment Certificate includes: the type of operation(s) conducted at the establishment ( *e.g.,* slaughter, processing, storage, exporting warehouse); the establishment's eligibility status ( *e.g.,* new or relisted (if previously delisted)); and, slaughter and processing establishment certifications that address the species and type of product(s) produced at the establishment and the process category. Additional information that is required with the Foreign Inspection Certificate includes: the species used to produce the product and the source country and foreign establishment number; whether the source materials originate from a country other than the exporting country; the product's description, including the process category, the product category, and the product group; the address of the consignor; the address of the consignee; the name and address of the exporter; the name and address of the importer; and, any additional information the Administrator requests to determine whether the product is eligible to be imported into the U.S. To conduct the information collections less frequently would inhibit the ability of FSIS to ensure that imported product is safe, wholesome, and not adulterated. *Description of Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 939. *Frequency of Responses:* Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; Annually. *Total Burden Hours:* 49,385.
