Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Control and Eradication of African Swine Fever; Conditions
for Payment of Indemnity Claims.
OMB Control Number: 0579-New.
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.
Part of the mission of the Veterinary Services (VS) business unit
of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is preventing
foreign animal disease outbreaks in the United States, and monitoring,
controlling, and eliminating a disease outbreak should one occur. In
the past several years, there have been significant worldwide outbreaks
of African swine fever (ASF) and the USDA is committed to working with
State and industry partners to keep the virus out of the United States
and its territories.
Need and Use of the Information: VS or State personnel, as part of
incident management team operations, will collect from herd owners or
growers of ASF presumptive positive or positive premises information
needed to reimburse the owners or growers for the value of any animals
taken and develop a plan for virus elimination so the owner or grower
can return to normal business operations.
If the information were conducted less frequently or not at all,
APHIS would not be able to develop disease mitigation plans or properly
reimburse producers and herd owners for their lost inventory.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; State,
Local, and Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 40,050.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 2,538,300.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
