required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Cooperative State-Federal Brucellosis Eradication Program.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0047.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of
2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal
health. 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. Disease prevention and disease surveillance are
the most effective methods for maintaining a healthy animal population
and for enhancing the United States' ability to compete in the world
market of animal and animal product trade. The Veterinary Services (VS)
unit of the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
is responsible for administering regulations intended to protect the
health of the U.S. livestock population. Brucellosis is an infectious
disease of animals and humans caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella.
The continued presence of brucellosis in a herd seriously threatens the
health, welfare, and economic viability of the livestock industry.
There is no economically feasible treatment for brucellosis in
livestock. The Cooperative State-Federal Brucellosis Eradication
Program is a national program to eliminate this serious disease of
livestock. APHIS will collect information using various forms and
methods.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use the information
collected via various forms and methods to demonstrate that program
requirements are being met for State and herd status and to demonstrate
that program-allowed activities, such as testing vaccinating, and
movement, are being conducted in accordance with the regulations and
program rules. Without the information, APHIS would not be able to
conduct an effective brucellosis surveillance, control, and eradication
program. Consequently, brucellosis would likely spread to areas of the
United States that are currently classified free of the disease, which
could have a potentially devastating effect on U.S. livestock markets
and trade.
Description of Respondents: Business; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 87,974.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion;
Quarterly; Monthly.
Total Burden Hours: 247,325.
