Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: African Swine Fever; Importation of Live Dogs for Resale
from Regions Where ASF. Exists or Is Reasonably Believed to Exist
OMB Control Number: 0579-0478.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of
2002 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 required to prevent the spread of
any livestock or poultry pest or disease. The AHPA is contained in
title X, subtitle E, sections 10401-18 of Public Law 107-171, May 13,
2002, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002; 7 U.S.C.
8301, et. seq. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
Veterinary Services (VS) business unit is responsible for preventing
foreign animal disease outbreaks in the United States, and monitoring,
controlling, and eliminating a disease outbreak should one occur.
APHIS has determined that dogs imported from African swine fever
(ASF)-affected countries for resale purposes, along with their bedding,
represent a possible pathway for the introduction of disease. To block
this pathway, APHIS has issued a Federal Order imposing several
restrictions on the importation of dogs for resale from regions where
ASF exists or is reasonably believed to exist. Importers will need to
verify that they have met these restrictions by completing and
submitting a Dog Import Record form, ASF VSDIR 1.
Need and Use of the Information: This form helps APHIS determine
where dogs are coming from (to assess the risk of whether they could
have been exposed to ASF), where they are going, and, most importantly,
measures taken to ensure neither the dogs nor anything that came with
them can spread ASF. Both parts of the VS Dog Import Record must be
completed and submitted for each shipment of imported dog or dogs
intended for resale.
The form also contains space for a detailed list of bathing
confirmation for the individual dog or dogs imported, including the
dogs' microchip numbers; name; age; gender; breed, color and markings;
and the date of bathing. Each person bathing the dog or dogs must sign
the form, as well as the importer.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 200.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 900.
Dated: November 18, 2021.
