The Department of Agriculture has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and reinstatement of an information collection requirement under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The collection, conducted by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), aims to gather feedback from state, local, and tribal governments on outbreaks of foodborne illnesses related to meat, poultry, and egg products. This information will help FSIS improve communication and outreach efforts. The public is invited to provide comments on the necessity, utility, and burden of this data collection by January 9, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture wants to ask local governments about food sickness from things like meat and eggs to make sure everyone stays safe. They want to hear from people about if this is a good idea or if it takes too much time before January 9, 2025.
