Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Conditions for Payment of Avian Influenza Indemnity Claims.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0440.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (7
U.S.C. 8301 et seq.) is the primary Federal law governing the
protection of animal health. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture
broad authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of
livestock or poultry. The Secretary may also prohibit or restrict
import or export of any animal or related material if necessary to
prevent the spread of any livestock or poultry pest or disease. U.S.
animal health policy calls for elimination of the avian influenza virus
(both highly pathogenic and low pathogenicity strains) when found
through depopulation (i.e., euthanasia and disposal) of affected
poultry. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) works
with State and local animal health officials to euthanize poultry,
clean and disinfect premises and equipment, and test for elimination of
the virus to ensure that farms can be safely restocked.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS Veterinary Services assists
State and local animal health officials and poultry producers with
creating and applying biosecurity and response plans, developing and
enforcing flock plans and compliance agreements, preparing and
processing appraisal and indemnity claims and worksheets, developing
restocking and testing agreements, and submitting reports.
Description of Respondents: State and local animal health officials
and poultry producers.
Number of Respondents: 18,950.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 48,714.
