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 February
13, 2023 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: Handling Swine with Potential Vesicular Disease.
OMB Control Number: 0579-New.
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. The Secretary may also prohibit or restrict import or export
of any animal or related material if necessary to prevent the spread of
any livestock or poultry pest or disease. 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 [7 U.S.C. 8301
et seq.]
Need and Use of the Information: Information collection activities
associated with reporting and rapid detection include notifiable swine
disease reporting, National Animal Health Reporting System, monthly
State and Area Veterinarian In Charge reports, and FAD data collection
and investigations. Data collected for emerging disease investigations
and outbreaks may require more information depending on the situation.
APHIS will use diagnostic testing results, number of detections, and
epidemiological information to detect and evaluate the status of a
potential emerging disease threat. Once APHIS confirms there is an
emerging animal disease, it will use this information to create
specific case definitions and disease reporting criteria.
If the information was collected less frequently or not collected
at all, it would significantly cripple APHIS' ability to evaluate the
risk of spreading swine vesicular disease in the United States. This
would have serious effects on the U.S. livestock industry and
international trade.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State,
Local or Tribal Government; Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 75.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 6,900.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
