According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0583-0151. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 7-14 minutes depending on the path of questions each respondent gets, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.


The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) wants to hear from you - what you need to know and how we can better communicate with you. About the survey:

  • It asks questions about informational resources and materials you may need, as well as food defense and humane handling (if humane handling applies to you).

  • It contains some technical information so we very much appreciate you taking time to complete this survey.

  • It will help improve FSIS’ outreach and training efforts in ways that can better support you.


This is a voluntary survey that should take about 7-14 minutes to complete. We keep individual responses confidential using an independent office within FSIS to analyze the data and results. In some cases, more than one person at your establishment may receive this survey. We encourage at least one of you to provide a response. Because we provide several links to documents in this survey, you are also welcome to download any that are relevant to your establishment.


Below are options for those small and very small establishments that wish to have their surveys administered in another language. Otherwise, please click on the Next button below to begin the survey.

FSIS has published humane handling regulations, outreach material, and a 2013 Compliance Guide to promote compliance with regulatory requirements for humane handling and slaughter of livestock.

  • A systematic humane handling approach focuses on treating livestock in such a manner to minimize excitement, discomfort, and accidental injury the entire time that livestock are held in connection with slaughter.

  • Although implementing a systematic approach is not a regulatory requirement, FSIS recommends an establishment having a systematic approach as the best way to ensure establishments meet the requirements of laws and regulations.

( ) To a great extent
