Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 07/19/2004
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA)	Date Received in OIRA: 03/18/2004
Terms of Clearance: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for a period of three years. However, upon resubmission the agency should determine whether annual updates of production at the level of detail currently required are necessary. As establishments adapt to the new regulatory approach, the agency should determine whether the detailed information on approaches for listeria reduction could be collected on a less frequent basis. e.g., Establishments with no change in approach to listeria reduction, could report Production volume and verify/ certify that distribution of production and approach to listeria reduction remains unchanged. In addition, the agency should provide to OMB a full explanation/demonstration of how the information is used to conduct risk based inspections. The agency should also ensure that this collection is fully compliant with e-gov initiatives (gpea).
