necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the

[[Page 8143]]
Comments regarding this information collection received by March 7,
2024 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: Importation of Live Swine, Pork and Pork Products, and Swine
Semen from the European Union.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0218.
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 AHPA is contained in title X, subtitle E, sections 10401-
18 of Public Law 107-171, dated May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and
Rural Investment Act of 2002. Disease prevention is the most effective
method to maintain a healthy animal population and for enhancing the
United States' ability to compete in the world market of animal and
animal product trade.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) regulates
the importation of animals and animal products into the United States
to guard against the introduction of animal diseases not present or
prevalent here.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
using an Application for Import or in Transit Permit, concerning the
origin and history of the items destined for importation into the
United States. APHIS will also collect information to ensure that
swine, pork and pork products, and swine semen pose a negligible risk
of introducing exotic swine diseases into the United States. A
Declaration of Importation form is also used to collect information in
this collection. Collecting this information less frequently or failing
to collect it would increase the chances of CSF and other swine
diseases being introduced into the United States.
Description of Respondents: Foreign federal governments and
businesses.
Number of Respondents: 16.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 7,230.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
