**Food Safety and Inspection Service**
*Title:* Overtime and Holiday Inspection Fees for Small and Very Small Establishments.
*OMB Control Number:* 0583-0185.
*Summary of Collection:* The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, *et seq.* ), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, *et seq.* ), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, *et seq.* ). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled. FSIS is requesting reinstatement of the previously approved information collection regarding the reduction of overtime and holiday inspection fees for small and very small establishments. FSIS will collect information on the reinstated FSIS Form 5200-16, *Overtime/Holiday Rate Reduction Form,* to determine whether an establishment inspected by FSIS qualifies for an overtime and holiday inspection fee reduction, and, if so, the amount.
*Need and Use of the Information:* FSIS intends to use $20 million in de-obligated funds from the Meat and Poultry Expansion Program to temporarily reduce overtime and holiday inspection fees for small and very small official meat, poultry, and egg products establishments. FSIS previously implemented a similar fee reduction initiative and is now seeking to resume providing for reduced overtime and holiday fees for small and very small establishments. Reinstating this information collection will allow FSIS to implement fee reductions again. Establishments must submit the reinstated form to receive the fee reductions.
*Description of Respondents:* Business or other for-profit.
*Number of Respondents:* 3,944.
*Frequency of Responses:* Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
*Total Burden Hours:* 724.
