Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Importation of Sheep, Goats, and Certain Other Ruminants.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0453.
Summary of Collection: Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the interstate movement of
animals and animal products to prevent the dissemination within the
United States of animal diseases and pests of livestock and to conduct
programs to detect, control, and eradicate pests and diseases of
livestock.
APHIS regulates the importation of animals and animal products into
the United States to guard against the introduction of animal diseases.
The regulations in Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations (9 CFR) parts
91, 93, 94, 95, and 96 govern the importation of certain animals,
birds, poultry, meat, other animal products and byproducts, hay, and
straw into the United States to prevent the introduction of diseases
such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a chronic degenerative
disease that affects the central nervous system of cattle. The
regulations also help prevent the spread of diseases currently in the
United States, such as scrapie.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS uses a variety of
information collection procedures and forms to gather data in its
efforts to prevent the introduction or spread of disease. Information
collected via these procedures and forms includes, but is not limited
to, the names of the exporter and importer of the animal commodities;
the origins of the animals or animal products to be imported; the
health status of the animals or the processing methods used to produce
animal products to be imported; the destination of delivery in the
United States; and whether the animals or animal products were
temporarily offloaded in another country during transit to the United
States.
