Approved with the understanding that, if FSIS learns that revisions to the current Safe Handling Instructions (SHI) are warranted, the Agency will develop alternative formats for a revised SHI based on consumersâ requirements for potential revisions to the SHI as identified in the initial focus groups). The Agency would then conduct additional consumer research (e.g., focus groups or an experimental study) to test the alternative versions and to determine a format for the revised label that would be most effective at encouraging consumers to follow recommended safe handling practices for raw and partially cooked meat and poultry products.

FSIS, in partnership with the Ad Council, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Center for Disease Control, has developed a national public service advertising campaign to educate the public about the importance of safe food handling and how to reduce the risks associated with foodborne illness. The Ad Council and FSIS are seeking approval of an information collection to help measure the impact of the campaign. The collection will take the form of a survey among members of the target audience, parents and guardians, age 20-45, who are caregivers to children under the age of 12 and cook meals at home at least four times per week. The survey will gauge awareness of the advertising, attitudes regarding safe food preparation, and self-reported prevention behaviors.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
