FDA Extends Routine Seafood Safety Paperwork

## Summary

The FDA is asking for approval to keep collecting info from seafood processors and importers to make sure fish products are safe using a system called HACCP. This affects anyone who processes or imports fish and requires them to keep records showing they’re following safety rules. Comments on this plan are open until July 13, 2026, and there’s no new cost, just a continuation of current paperwork.

## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

## Effects PRIA read

- Seafood Processors Must Keep HACCP Records: cost, medium. If you process or import fish or fishery products, you must continue to collect and keep Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) records under 21 CFR part 123. These records (for example, processing times, temperatures, acidity, monitoring logs) must be reviewed by trained employees and…
- Estimated Annual Recordkeeping Burden: 1.93M Hours: cost, high. FDA estimates the total annual recordkeeping burden for seafood HACCP activities is 1,930,264 hours. Examples from the estimate include 1,260,000 hours for documenting monitoring of critical control points (Sec. 123.6(c)(7)) and 65,600 hours for import verification activities (Sec. 123.12).
- No New Monetary Costs for Recordkeeping: benefit, low. FDA states there are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this information collection; the submission is a reinstatement of current paperwork. The collection is described as a continuation of existing HACCP recordkeeping rather than adding new monetary costs.
