Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Commercial Transportation of Equines for Slaughter.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0332.
Summary of Collection: Section 901-905 of the Federal Agriculture
Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 1901) authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture to issue guidelines for regulating the
commercial transportation of equine for slaughter, by persons regularly
engaged in that activity within the United States. Specifically, the
Secretary is authorized to regulate the food, water, and rest provided
to the equines while they are in transit and to review related issues
be appropriate to ensuring that these animals are treated humanely. To
implement the provisions of this Act, the Veterinary Services program
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) has established minimum standards to ensure
the humane movement of equines for slaughter.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information in
the form of owner-shipper certificates of fitness to travel to
slaughter facility; certificate of veterinary inspection; application
of backtags; collection of business information on any person found to
be transporting horses to a slaughtering facility; and recordkeeping.
The collected information is use to ensure that equines being
transported for slaughter receive adequate food, water, and rest and
are treated humanely. If the information was collected less frequently
or not collected, APHIS' ability to ensure that equines destined for
slaughter are treated humanely would be significantly hampered.
Description of Respondents: 200 Business or other for profit, 30
Individuals or Households, and (2) Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 232.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Recordkeeping, and
Third-Party Disclosure:
Total Burden Hours: 4,049.
