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
31, 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: Mycoplasma Bovis in Bison 2022 Case Control Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0482.
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
monitoring, controlling, and eliminating a disease outbreak should one
occur. In 2021, multiple premises and bison herds experienced
significant losses attributed to the appearance of the Mycoplasma bovis
pathogen in the herds. Despite the unique and significant burden of
this pathogen on bison, little information exists on the sources of
infection to na[iuml]ve herds. Diagnostic testing is not currently able
to identify animals infected but not shedding the bacterium and these
animals can serve as a source of infection during subsequent years. To
limit additional herds becoming infected in the 2022 season, APHIS
conducted an emergency study on the potential sources of new infections
in na[iuml]ve herds. This request for renewal of the emergency
information collection request for the study serves to maintain
approval to apply the study to herds that may get infected but were not
included in the original study.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected will be
used to identify risk factors for bison contracting the M. Bovis
pathogen, and develop prevention and control recommendations for
treating it.
Description of Respondents: Bison producers (herd owners or
managers).
Number of Respondents: 220.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 55.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
