Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Comprehensive Aquaculture Health Program; Use of MI-CO
Application.
OMB Control Number: 0579-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services
(VS) unit is responsible for, among other things, protecting the health
of the nation's aquatic livestock and supporting safe trade of those
animals and their products. This authority is provided under the Animal
Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.). Further, Executive Order
13921, Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth,
rescinded the 2008 National Aquatic Animal Health Plan, and authorized
a new national aquaculture health plan establishing USDA as the
competent authority for the protection, inspection, and certification
of aquatic livestock health. 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: The National Aquaculture Health
Plan and Standards (NAHPS) provides guidance for pathogen testing,
reporting, and laboratory standards in addition to outlining health
inspection options for aquatic livestock. One of these inspection
options is the Comprehensive Aquaculture Health Program Standards
(CAHPS). CAHPS was developed in partnership with the U.S. aquaculture
industry as a voluntary program that establishes a framework to improve
and verify the health of aquatic livestock produced in the United
States. Principles outlined in the CAHPS provide for early disease
detection, surveillance, risk mitigation, reporting, and response for
the control of aquatic animal pathogens, especially those reportable to
the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), and to prevent their
dissemination via aquatic animal sale, movement, and trade.
The MI-CO app will retain information from inspection to
inspection. VS will update participants' information annually. VS will
not physically collect or remove from the premises any of the
documentation unless the participant gives express permission to attach
documents to their CAHPS portfolio in the app. VS personnel will
annually review and enter information for every CAHPS participant to
support compliance with CAHPS.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit
organizations.
Number of Respondents: 30.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 378.
