DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding (1) whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by March
17, 2025 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 Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Self Certification Medical Statement.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0196.
Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture
is responsible for ensuring consumers that food and farm products are
moved from producer to consumer in the most efficient, dependable,
economical, and equitable system possible. Each year, the United States
Department of Agriculture's Marketing and Regulatory Programs (MRP)
agency hires individuals for commodity grading and inspection positions
to ensure this process is efficient and effective. These positions
often involve arduous conditions and require direct contact with meat,
dairy, fresh or processed fruits and vegetables, and poultry intended
for human consumption; and cotton and tobacco products intended for
consumer use. 5 CFR part 339 authorizes an agency to request medical
information from an applicant that may assist management with
employment decisions concerning covered positions that have specific
medical or physical fitness requirements. APHIS will collect the
applicant's medical information using MRP Form 5 (Self-Certification
Medical Statement).
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected from
prospective employees assists MRP officials, administrative personnel,
and servicing Human Resources Offices in determining an applicant's
physical fitness and suitability for employment in positions with
approved medical standards and physical requirements. If the
information was not collected, APHIS would not be able to accurately
determine the applicant's fitness to safely perform the duties of the
covered positions.
Description of Respondents: Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 175.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 31.
