Title: Control of African Swine Fever; Restrictions on the Movement
of Swine Products and Swine Byproducts from Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0480.
Summary of Collection: Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 8301 et seq.) the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is authorized to protect the health of the
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture populations in the United States by
preventing the introduction and interstate spread of serious diseases
and pests, and for eradicating such diseases and pests from the United
States, when feasible. Within the USDA, the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS Veterinary Services (VS) is tasked with
preventing foreign animal disease outbreaks in the United States, and

one occur. In the past several years, there have been significant
worldwide outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF), a highly contagious
and deadly viral disease affecting domestic and feral pigs. APHIS is
committed to working with State and industry partners to keep the
disease out of the United States.
Need and Use of the Information: To certify compliance with the

the Federal Order or complete a VS Form 16-3, an application for a
permit to import or transport controlled material or organisms or
vectors. The collection of this information prevents unhealthy swine
products and byproducts from being imported into the United States.

commercial producers of swine products and byproducts.
Number of Respondents: 22.
