The Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced it will seek to extend its Public Health Information System data collection program, which is set to expire at the end of November 2026.
Following federal requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and guidelines from the Office of Management and Budget, the agency has formally declared its plans to continue the existing information gathering system without any modifications.
The Public Health Information System serves as a key tool for the Food Safety and Inspection Service to monitor and track food safety data across the nation. The agency’s request indicates it will maintain the current structure and processes of the information collection program.
The renewal process follows standard federal procedures for extending approved data collection systems that support public health monitoring and food safety oversight activities.
