Download as PDF 15158 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 58 / Monday, March 27, 2006 / Notices certifies private veterinary practitioners to work cooperatively with Federal veterinarians, as well as with State animal health officials, to conduct certain activities for APHIS. Regulations governing the Veterinary Accreditation Program are found in Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 160, 161, and 162. Operating this important program requires APHIS to engage in a number of information collection activities in the form of applications for veterinary accreditation, veterinary accreditation orientation and training, paperwork associated with tasks performed by our accredited veterinarians (such as completing certificates, applying and removing official seals, and completing test reports); reviewing applications for veterinary accreditation and reaccreditation, recordkeeping, and updating information on accredited veterinarians. APHIS will collect information using several forms. Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information to determine that a veterinarian has met the requirements for being accredited, or for obtaining re-accreditation. APHIS will also collect information to ensure that accredited veterinarians are knowledgeable of current Federal and State animal health regulations, objectives and programs and are competent in their application. If information is not collected it would significantly destroy APHIS’ ability to operate the Veterinary Accreditation Program. Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 88,244. Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. Total Burden Hours: 63,031. Ruth Brown, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer. [FR Doc.
