Justification for Change

Regulations for Inspection of Eggs

OMB No. 0581-0113

August 2010

This Justification for Change requests slight modifications in page layout to the Registration of Shell Egg Handler, PY-155, with no change in burden.

Page 1

The “Address” section has been expanded to capture information to differentiate a business location from a corporate address as many shell egg handlers are large businesses and rely on post office box delivery systems. However, the Agency also requires a street address to facilitate periodic inspections of the location. Inclusion of both address options will minimize burden by gathering comprehensive data.

In each section, the “Col. Number” designations have been removed as they correlate to a software and database configuration that is no longer supported by this Agency.

We have expanded the “For USDA use only” section to include a comments section for archival notations at the national office level. Also in the “For USDA use only” section, we have removed the yes/no question, “Plant has resident Grading Service.” Responses to this question are no longer needed as we have achieved shell egg handler registration status for all resident grading locations.

In the “Nature of Business” section, we added three categories to identify; “Inedible Collection/Processing”, “Cooked Eggs”, and “Exempt Breaker” to facilitate the transfer of information into our database. Currently, information relative to these categories is included via the remarks section which we have eliminated as its use was minimal and we no longer anticipate a need for it.

Finally, we have changed the “Previous editions may be used” statement to read “destroy previous editions.”
