Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: National Veterinary Service Laboratories; Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy Surveillance Program.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0409.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of
2002 (7 U.S.C. 8301-8317) 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. APHIS'
National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) safeguard U.S. animal
health and contribute to public health by ensuring that timely and
accurate laboratory support is provided by their nationwide animal
health diagnostic system. USDA complies with the standard set by the
World Organization for Animal Health for bovine spongiform
encephalopathy surveillance.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
using forms VS 17-146 and VS 17-146a, BSE Surveillance Submission Form/
Continuation Sheet and VS 17-131, BSE Surveillance Data Collection
Form. APHIS will use the information collected to safeguard the U.S.
animal health population against BSE. Without the information APHIS
would be unable to monitor and prevent the incursion of BSE into the
United States.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State,
local or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 178.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,421.
