Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 7, 2005 / Notices
Need and Use of the Information:
Conventional wisdom states that the
number and size of farmers markets has
grown over the last several years.
Research has not been done to prove
that point. The form submitted for
approval will serve as a survey
instrument to obtain a clearer picture of
existing farmers market structure to
provide a basis for the future design of
modern direct marketing facilities and
will provide a measure of growth over
the last 4 years. T&M researchers will
survey by mail, with telephone followup, the managers of farmers markets
identified in the 2000 National Farmers
Market Directory. In addition, provision
will be made for e-mail reporting. These
markets represent a varied range of
sizes, geographical locations, types,
ownership, and structure. These
markets will provide a valid overview of
farmers markets in the United States.
Information such as the size of markets,
operating times and days, retail and
wholesale sales, management structure,
and rules and regulations governing the
markets are all important questions that
need to be answered in the design of a
new market. The information developed
by this survey will support better
designs, development techniques, and
operating methods for modern farmers
markets and outline improvements that
can be applied to revitalize existing
markets.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions, Federal Government,
State, local or tribal government.

Officer for Agriculture, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB),
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or
fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail
Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250–

information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received
within 30 days of this notification.
Copies of the submission(s) may be
obtained by calling (202) 720–8958.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information

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: Johne’s Disease in Domestic
Animals; Interstate Movement, 9 CFR
part 80.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0148.
Summary of Collection: Title 21
U.S.C. authorizes sections 111, 114,
114a, 114–1, 115, 120, 121, 125, 126,
134a, 134c, 134f, and 134g. These
authorities permit the Secretary to
prevent, control and eliminate domestic
diseases such as Johne’s disease, as well
as to take actions to prevent and to
manage exotic diseases such as footand-mouth, classical swine fever, and
other foreign diseases. Johne’s disease
affects cattle, sheep, goats, and other
ruminants. It is an incurable and
contagious disease that results in
progressive wasting and eventual death.
The disease is nearly always introduced
into a healthy herd by an infected
animal that is not showing symptoms of
the disease. Moving Johne’s-positive
livestock interstate for slaughter or for
other purposes and doing so without
increasing the risk of disease spread
requires the use of an owner-shipper
statement, official eartags, and State
participation in the program.

Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information that
includes: (1) The number of animals to
be moved, (2) the species of the animals,
(3) the point of origin and destination,
and (4) the consignor and consignee.
Without the information APHIS would
be unable to ensure that Johne’s disease
is not spread to healthy animal
populations throughout the United
States.

Title: Brucellosis Program
Cooperative Agreements—Title 9, CFR
Parts 50, 51, 53, 54, 76, and 78.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0047.
Summary of Collection: Brucellosis is
a contagious animal disease that causes
loss of young through spontaneous
abortion or birth of weak offspring,
reduced milk production, and
infertility. It is mainly a disease of
cattle, bison and swine. There is no
economically feasible treatment for
brucellosis in livestock. Veterinary
Services, a division with USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), is responsible for
administering regulations intended to
prevent the dissemination of animal
diseases, such as brucellosis, within the
United States. These regulations are
found in Part 78 of Title 9, Code of
Federal Regulations. The continued
presence of brucellosis in a herd
seriously threatens the health of other
animals. APHIS will collect information
using various forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will use the information
collected from the forms to continue to
search for other infected herds, maintain
identification of livestock, monitor
deficiencies in identification of animals
for movement, and monitor program
deficiencies in suspicious and infected
herds. This information will be used to
determine brucellosis area status and
aids herd owners by speeding up the
detection and elimination of serious
disease conditions in their herds.
Without the data, APHIS’ Brucellosis
Eradication Program would be severely
crippled.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
