DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by March 7,
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of
the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: National Animal Health Monitoring System; Bison 2022 Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0420.
Summary of Collection: Collection and dissemination of animal
health data and information is mandated by 7 U.S.C. 391, the Animal
Industry Act of 1884, which established the precursor of the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services, the
Bureau of Animal Industry. Legal requirements for examining and
reporting on animal disease control methods were further mandated by 7
U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health Protection Act, ``Detection, Control,
and Eradication of Diseases and Pests,'' May 13, 2002. This collection
of bison data is consistent with the APHIS mission of protecting and
improving American agriculture's productivity and competitiveness.
In connection with this mission, the NAHMS program includes
periodic national commodity studies to investigate current issues and
examine general productivity, health, and management practices used on
farms and their economic impact. These non-regulatory, voluntary
studies are driven by industry and stakeholder interest.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
using several forms. APHIS will use the data collected form the forms
to address the following goals. (1) Update knowledge of national and
regional health management and production practices and develop
estimates for producer, veterinary, and industry reference; (2) Provide
factual information on fencing and confinement, processing and
marketing, and movement for U.S bison operations; (3) Detect national
and regional trends in disease emergence and movement such as the
producer reporting of clinical signs of Mycoplasma bovis, malignant
catarrhal fever, internal parasitism, and respiratory and enteric
disease in bison; (4) Provide information useful to disease-spread
models; and (5) Provide information on internal parasitism in bison, on
antimicrobial resistance among isolates obtained from feces, and on
pasture forage nutritional quality. Without the information, the
ability to respond to domestic and international trade issues involving
the health status and production practices of the U.S. bison population
would be severely reduced, potentially impacting the global
marketability of animals, meat, and byproducts. Disease spread models
would not have the necessary parameters to more accurately predict
spread of an outbreak.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,741.
Dated: January 6, 2022.
