and 2.53), as specified in the Poultry
Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21
U.S.C. 451, et seq.). This statute
mandates that FSIS protect the public
by verifying that poultry products are
safe, wholesome, and properly labeled.
This ongoing, voluntary data collection

about pathogen control and the
measurement strategies necessary for an
effective poultry products inspection
program.
Need and Use of the Information: On
October 19, 2021, USDA announced that
FSIS would mobilize a stronger and
more comprehensive effort to reduce
Salmonella illnesses associated with
poultry products. A key component of
this effort is identifying ways to
incentivize the use of preharvest
controls to reduce Salmonella
contamination coming into the
slaughterhouse. Under the pilot projects
program, establishments will
experiment with new or existing
pathogen control and measurement
strategies and share data with FSIS.
Associations may also submit aggregate
data. The data will be analyzed by FSIS
to determine whether they support
changes to FSIS existing Salmonella
control strategies.
Description of Respondents: Businessfor-not for-profit; Farms; State, Local or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting;
Other (one-time).

Needs and Uses: The information
collected in the 2024 ACS SOGI test will
be used to evaluate the quality of data
from questions on sexual orientation
and gender identity. The research will
inform recommendations for potential
production ACS implementation on
question wording and response options,
whether a confirmation question is
asked of everyone or only of those
people with discrepant responses for
sex at birth and current gender identity,
and the style of write-in boxes to use for
internet respondents. The data will also
be used to produce descriptive statistics
on the test topics, assess the impact on
other questions on the survey that have
changed, and gain insight into
terminology by analyzing write-in
responses and responses to qualitative
questions asked in the test. Data will be
assessed by mode of response as well as
type of respondent (proxy or selfreported data), in addition to other subgroups of interest.
Because the questions being tested
under this clearance have yet to be
asked in the American Community
Survey, the data gathered will not be
considered official statistics of the
Census Bureau or other Federal
agencies. Test results will be included
in research reports that will be
published on the Census Bureau’s
website. Results may also be prepared
for presentations at professional
meetings and conferences or for
publication in professional journals. All
published test results will be statistical
products that contain only aggregated
data that do not reveal individual
responses.
Details of the questions being tested
and test plans are available in
Supporting Statements A and B and
associated attachments. See directions
