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; 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; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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 June 20,
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 and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: National Animal Health Monitoring System; Poultry 2025 Small
Enterprise Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0260 (Reinstatement).
Summary of Collection: Collection and dissemination of animal and
poultry health information is mandated by 7 U.S.C. 8301, The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002. Thus, the Department of Agriculture is
responsible for protecting the health of our Nation's livestock and
poultry populations by preventing the introduction and interstate
spread of contagious, infectious, or communicable diseases of livestock
and poultry and for eradicating such diseases from the United States
when feasible. In connection with this mission, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) operates the National Health
Monitoring System (NAHMS), which collects, on a national basis,
statistically valid and scientifically sound data on the prevalence and
economic importance of livestock and poultry diseases. During the Fall
of 2025, NAHMS will conduct a national data collection for poultry
through a national study, Poultry 2025 Small Enterprise.
Need and Use of the Information: Through the reinstatement of this
information collection, APHIS will collect information using a
questionnaire and the data will be important for establishing baseline
health, management, and biosecurity information for U.S. small
enterprise chicken broiler, table egg layer, and meat turkey
operations. This information is important for producer preparedness and
response for animal health emergencies, including highly pathogenic
avian influenza (HPAI). The collected data will be used to: (1)
Establish national and regional production measures for producer,
veterinary, and industry references; (2) predict or detect national and
regional trends in disease emergence and movement; (3) address emerging
issues; (4) aid in disease preparedness; (5) evaluate biosecurity
practices of small enterprise producers and determine what sort of
informational resources may be most useful for this population; (6)
provide estimates of both outcome (disease or other parameters) and
exposure (risks and components) variables that can be used in analytic
studies in the future by NAHMS; (7) provide input into the design of
surveillance systems for specific diseases; and (8) provide parameters
for animal disease spread models.
Without the aforementioned data, the U.S.' ability to establish
baseline health, management, and biosecurity information for this
portion of the poultry industry, and the ability to use that
information in preparedness and response to HPAI would be reduced or
nonexistent.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 5,525.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (four times).
Total Burden Hours: 2,872.
