Abstract: The information collected is used to compile, publish, and distribute a listing of approved sources of State and international certified shellfish dealers/shippers. Individual State food control officials and the food industry use the list to determine certified sources of shellfish. The information collection is also used to collect samples of shellfish along with associated sample metadata. We administer the collection in an effort to help prevent and suppress the spread of communicable diseases through shellfish, which pose a unique public health concern in that the safety of molluscan shellfish directly reflects the cleanliness of the waters where they are grown.
