Terms of Clearance: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR Part 1320 this information collection request is disapproved. FSIS must either seek a generic clearance for these hotline surveys which shows a program need for repetitive data collection that are so similar that they can be collectively described without going into deep detail, or FSIS must seek approval for each individual survey. If each hotline survey is unique and targetted they cannot qualify for generic clearance. The current information collection request does not show a need to sample public opinion, does not show how the data will be used, does not show how many surveys will be done, and what kinds of questions will be asked.
