to pay indemnity to salmon producers
in Maine whose fish are destroyed
because of infectious salmon anemia
(ISA).
ISA is a foreign animal disease of
Atlantic salmon, caused by an
orthomyxovirus. The disease affects
both wild and farmed Atlantic salmon.
ISA poses a substantial threat to the
economic viability and sustainability of
salmon aquaculture in the United
States.
In order to take part in the indemnity
program, producers must enroll in the
cooperative ISA control program
administered by APHIS and the State of
Maine. Program participants must
inform the ISA Program Veterinarian in
writing of the name of their accredited
veterinarian; develop biosecurity
protocols and a site-specific ISA action
plan; submit fish inventory and
mortality information; assist APHIS or
State officials with on-site disease
surveillance, testing, and biosecurity
audits; and complete an appraisal and
indemnity claim form.
Payment is subject to the availability
of funding.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning this
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate 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) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, through use, as appropriate,
of automated, electronic, mechanical,
and other collection technologies, e.g.,

responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 4
hours per response.
