The Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced plans to extend its existing poultry slaughter inspection data collection program for another term.
Following federal paperwork reduction guidelines and Office of Management and Budget rules, the agency revealed its plans to seek renewal of the current information gathering system used for poultry plant inspections.
Officials indicated no modifications will be made to the existing data collection procedures. The current authorization for this inspection information system is set to end on August 31, 2026, with the renewal request deadline of June 2, 2026.
The program involves collecting data from poultry processing facilities as part of federal food safety oversight responsibilities.
