Abstract: These surveys provide commercial slaughter and red meat production by species. Federally inspected slaughter data enables the Food Safety and Inspection Service to fulfill its responsibilities mandated by the Federal Meat Inspection Act.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The response burden hours increased from 1,687 hours to 2,504 hours and the annual number of responses decreased from 69,200 to 11,800 due to agency adjustments. Two primary factors impacted this increase in burden hours. The number of NFI plants contacted by NASS increased from 1,100 to approximately 1,300 plants. The average amount of time it takes to complete a NFI questionnaire has increased from 10 minutes to approximately 15 minutes per questionnaire. The primary cause in the decrease of the annual number of responses is due to the correction of a mistake. In the previously approved ICR, NASS erroneously included FI responses in the summary of burden calculation while this ICR renewal only counts NFI responses.
