SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is modifying an
existing system of records notice for the APHIS Animal Health
Surveillance and Monitoring System, USDA/APHIS-15, which was last
published on November 28, 2011, in its entirety in the Federal Register
(76 FR 72897-72900, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0007). APHIS is modifying the
system of records notice to rename the system as ``Animal Health,
Disease, and Pest Surveillance and Management System, USDA/APHIS-15.''
Also, APHIS is expanding the system to include records of activities
maintained in the Comprehensive and Integrated Animal Health
Surveillance System (CIAHSS), which consists of multiple information
technology platforms that exchanges data and that contains animal
health and surveillance data. Expansion of the system also includes any
electronic or hard copies of forms or other records used to enter data
into CIAHSS or that may be saved in a CIAHSS application.
In addition to the above, APHIS is making the following changes to
the system of records:
<bullet> Updating the system location and system manager;
<bullet> Updating the authority for maintenance of the system to
remove reference to the Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program (7
U.S.C. 7629), which was repealed on February 7, 2014, and add
references to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, 7
U.S.C. 7901 et seq., the Homeland Security Presidential Directives 7
and 9, and Farm Bills (The Farm Bill is an omnibus, multiyear law that
governs an array of agricultural and food programs. Titles in a recent
farm bill encompassed farm commodity revenue supports, agricultural
conservation, trade and foreign food assistance, farm credit, research,
rural development, forestry, bioenergy, horticulture, and domestic
nutrition assistance. Typically renewed about every 5 or 6 years by
Congress, the Farm Bill provides a predictable opportunity for
policymakers to comprehensively and periodically address agricultural
and food issues);
<bullet> Updating the purpose of the system to further explain the
purpose of the system and the use of the information collected by the
system;
<bullet> Expanding the categories of individuals to include
additional individuals who participate in animal disease or pest
prevention, surveillance, management, and animal disease emergency
activities, and those who are mentioned or referenced in any documents
entered into USDA/APHIS-15 by a user (such as, vendors, industry,
agents, other business personnel, etc.);
<bullet> Expanding the categories of records to include additional
records relating to animal disease or pest prevention, surveillance,
management, and animal disease emergency activities;
<bullet> Revising the record source categories to more accurately
identify the sources of information maintained in the system;
<bullet> Updating the policies and practices for storage,
retrievability, and retention and disposal of records in the system;
<bullet> Updating the system safeguards;
<bullet> Updating the notification, record access, and contesting
record procedures; and
<bullet> Providing an updated full list of routine uses in the
routine uses section of the document published with this notice.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The Animal Health, Disease, and Pest Surveillance and Management
System supports VS' mission of protecting and improving the health,
quality, and marketability of animals within the United States and
response to animal health emergencies. The information is collected and
stored to support animal health, disease, and pest surveillance and
management activities that VS administers in cooperation with the
States and Tribes. VS and its State and Tribal partners (or their
cooperators and contractors) enter and maintain the data in the system
to effectively manage animal health programs and disease and pest
surveillance programs. This system allows for monitoring, early
detection, and response to domestic, emerging, and foreign animal
diseases or pests of concern such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia,
brucellosis, tuberculosis, chronic wasting disease, pseudorabies,
scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, classical swine fever,
cattle fever ticks, screwworms, avian influenza, etc.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
Individuals covered in this system include individuals identified
as animal premises owners or managers, livestock haulers, individuals
involved in animal production, movement, marketing, rendering,
slaughter, product processing or points of contact for these
categories, and all other individuals that are covered by the regulated
activity of APHIS animal health or disease or pest surveillance,
monitoring, or control program; collectors or submitters of samples for
testing; USDA and State/Tribal animal health employees and their
contractors or cooperators with signed agreements; Federal, State/
Tribal, and local public health employees and their contractors or
cooperators with signed agreements working with USDA on zoonotic
disease activities; Federal, State/Tribal, and local wildlife agency
employees and their contractors or cooperators with signed agreements
working with USDA on diseases affecting both wild and domestic animals;

include vendors, industry, agents, and other business personnel.

about entities such as, animals, groups of animals, premises,
biological specimens, or test results. Identifiers can include flock or
premises identification numbers; animal identification numbers such as
ear tag or other identification device numbers, implant or tattoo
numbers, brands, animal group or lot numbers; accredited veterinarian
numbers; veterinary license numbers; and specimen numbers.
