Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Registration Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0128.
Summary of Collection: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary as provided in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq. ). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by ensuring that meat and poultry are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. According to the regulations, (9 CFR 320.5 and 381.179), parties required to register with FSIS must do so by submitting form FSIS Form 5020-1, “Registration of Meat and Poultry Handlers.”
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS uses the information from form FSIS 5020-1 to maintain a database of the businesses. FSIS will collect the name, address of all locations at which they conduct the business that requires them to register, and all trade or business names under which they conduct the businesses. They must also inform FSIS when information on the form needs to be updated. If the information were not collected, it would reduce the effectiveness of the meat and poultry inspection program.
