In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this information
collection (0583-0092) has been approved for six months. Should the
agency choose to resubmit this information collection at that time,
it shall provide a more complete justification of each item In
particular, it is unclear that the agency is seeking under the prio
label approval section. This clearance is intended only to
reinstate the existing clearance for prior label approval pending
changes propos in rulemaking. It does not cover changes in
Nutrition labeling requirements, Safe Handling statements, or other
recent regulatory or policy changes that have resulted in
additional requirements and label submissions, as the FSIS has yet
to fulfill the requirements under 3504(h) of the PRA as part of the
rulemakings. Each of these new collections or amendments to
existing collections must be submitted as a separate clearance
request even if the agency wants to have the new collection
reviewed ultimately as part of this OMB number.
