In September 2011, FSIS announced in Federal Register notice Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Certain Raw Beef Products, its intent to conduct a comprehensive survey of its field personnel who are
stationed in beef slaughtering and processing establishments.
Results will provide information on the methods establishments use to prevent Shiga toxin-producing
Escherichia coli contamination. This survey is designed to gather information currently not collected in
the Public Health Information System. Before launching this survey, FSIS is seeking public comment on
the questions it plans to use to survey its field personnel.
FSIS is particularly interested in receiving feedback concerning the clarity of questions. The comment
period will be 30 days and the survey may be updated in response to the comments. Go to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal online at www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FSIS-2013-0010 to view the
survey and provide comment.
