Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: National Veterinary Accreditation Program Application Form.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0297.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act, (APHA) of
2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal
health. The APHA is contained in 7 U.S.C. 8301, et seq., and were
created the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. The law
gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect, control,
or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the agency charged with
carrying out this disease prevention mission. For APHIS to conduct all
its disease prevention tasks, it utilizes APHIS-certified private
veterinarians to work cooperatively with Federal and State animal
health authorities on the Agency's behalf. These veterinarians obtain
their certification through the APHIS National Veterinary Accreditation
Program (NVAP) which has an application and renewal process.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use VS form 1-36A,
National Veterinary Accreditation Program Application Form to collect
information to certify private veterinarians to work Federal and State
animal health authorities to prevent disease and carry out disease
surveillance on USDA's behalf. Applicants may appeal denial,
revocation, or suspension of accredited status. The written appeal is
prepared in letter format and signed by the denied veterinarian. If
information from accredited veterinarians was collected less frequently
or not collected, APHIS would lose access to professional and
demographic data for more than 70,000 cooperators, and APHIS coverage
of veterinary, plant, and agricultural activities would be
proportionately reduced.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 24,820.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 9,929.
