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,

to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or

the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: APHIS Credit Account and User Fee Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0055.
Summary of Collection: The Food, Agriculture, Conservation and
Trade Act of 1990, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to prescribe
and collect fees to cover the costs of providing certain agricultural
quarantine, inspection, and veterinary diagnostics services.
Reimbursable overtime fees may also be assessed for inspection services
requested during non-duty hours. The Secretary is authorized to use the
revenue to provide reimbursements to any appropriation accounts that
incur costs associated with the services provided. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 authorizes the Agency to collect information
from person(s) requesting to establish credit accounts with the U.S.
government. APHIS charges the appropriate fees to respondents using
billing information obtained from several APHIS documents.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
from requests to establish credit accounts to conduct credit checks and
to ensure credit worthiness prior to extending credit services. APHIS
will also collect information required to identify fees associated with
provided services, and to ensure that the correct amounts are collected
and remitted in full in a timely manner. Without the information,

statute. Noncompliance with the statute could result in
misappropriation of public funds and lost revenue to the Federal
Government.

Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 144,209.
