• Modify the language in the Instructions section to the following text:  “FSIS Form 9080-3 is to be completed and submitted by establishment personnel using PHIS (Public Health Information System). Effective June 29, 2018, FSIS no longer accepts the paper version of FSIS Form 9080-3 submitted to FSIS IPP for review and approval. For establishments that do not have access to or use PHIS, they are to send a fully completed paper copy of FSIS Form 9080-3 to the FSIS Proxy, using one of the three options listed below. The FSIS Proxy will enter the application information into PHIS on the applicant’s behalf.

• Modify the language in the Approval section to the following text:  “Once FSIS Form 9080-3 is approved by the Office of Field Operations personnel, the Office of Policy and Program Development will process the request with the appropriate foreign authorities.  Upon receipt of approval notification from foreign authorities, the Office of Policy and Program Development will post the plant information in the FSIS Export Library under the list of approved plants for the appropriate country.  Users should monitor the FSIS Export Library to see when their plant has been approved.  Users may contact the Office of Policy and Program Development for an update of the status of the application by email at ImportExport@fsis.usda.gov or phone at (202) 720-0082.”

These non-substantive, administrative changes to the form do not constitute a new information collection. There is no estimated burden change for the form.
