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 October
3, 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: Restricted, Prohibited, and Controlled Importation of Animal
and Poultry Products and Byproducts, Into the United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0015.
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. Disease prevention is the most effective method for
maintaining a healthy animal population and for enhancing the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS') ability to bolster the
United States' capability to compete globally in animal and animal
product trade. In connection with this mission, APHIS enforces
regulations regarding both the importation of controlled materials and
the prevention of foreign animal disease incursions into the United
States. These regulations can be found at title 9, chapter I,
subchapter D, parts 94, 95, 96, and 122 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information to
ensure that imported items do not present a disease risk to the
livestock and poultry populations of the United States. The information
collected will provide APHIS with critical information concerning the
origin and history of the items destined for importation into the
United States. If this information were collected less frequently or
not collected, the United States would be at increased risk for the
introduction of FMD, ASF, CSF, swine vesicular disease (SVD), ND, or
HPAI. This would cause serious economic consequences to several United
States livestock industries and potentially serious health consequences
for United States livestock.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not for-
profit institutions; Foreign Government.
Number of Respondents: 30,902.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; On occasion;
Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours: 113,354.
Ruth Brown,
Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
