DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
June 10, 2022.
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 July 15,
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: Agriculture Organisms and Vectors; Import and Transport
Permits.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0213.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002
(the Act, 7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.) authorizes the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to provide for the oversight of the importation,
entry, and movement in the United States of animals, pests, or
diseases, or any material or tangible object that could harbor them.
Under the Act, USDA regulates certain organisms, biological agents,
toxins, vectors, and animal products that have the potential to pose a
severe threat to animal health or to animal products through the risk
of disease or pest introduction.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has the
primary responsibility for implementing the provisions of the Act
within USDA. APHIS regulations for these activities are contained in 9
CFR part 94 (animals or animal products), 9 CFR part 95 (animal by-
products) and 9 CFR part 122 (organisms and vectors). The regulations
require an individual or entity, unless specifically exempted under the
regulations, to apply for and be granted, by APHIS, a permit
authorizing specific import or transport activities for regulated
materials prior to engaging in the activities.
Need and Use of the Information: The permit application process
entails the use of forms designed to obtain critical information
concerning individuals or entities seeking a permit, as well as the
specific characteristics of the material to be permitted. This data is
needed, in part, to allow APHIS to assess the risk of importing or
transporting the material, as well as the biosecurity and biosafety
mitigations in place at the receiving location. This, in turn, enables
APHIS to ensure that appropriate safeguard, containment, and disposal
requirements commensurate with the risk of the materials are
implemented during transport, import, and upon receipt to protect
against the spread or introduction of disease. If the information was
collected less frequently or not collected, APHIS' efforts to
aggressively prevent agricultural disease or adverse health impacts in
the United States would be compromised.
Description of Respondents: Private Sector.
Number of Respondents: 3,214.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting.
Total Burden Hours: 6,055.
