FSIS is notified by owners, brokers, or agents when FSIS inspected and passed product is exported and returned to this country. FSIS uses this information to decide whether the product needs to be re-inspected.
There is a change in burden hours from 8,333 hours to 2,500 hours because FSIS, in response to comments received, changed its estimate of the number of times an exporter would use the form annually, from 100 times to 10 times, thereby reducing the total burden hours. Also,in response to comments the time on the form was changed from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
