the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: National Animal Health
Reporting System (NAHRS).
OMB Control Number: 0579–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The National
Animal Health Reporting System
(NAHRS) was developed through a
cooperative effort between the United
States Animal Health Association, the
American Association of Veterinary
Laboratory Diagnosticians, and the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS). NAHRS provides an
ongoing national measure of the health
status of the nation’s livestock. The
National Center for Animal Health
Surveillance involvement in this
voluntary monitoring activity is to
facilitate standardization of the data
throughout the United States and
provide a central point for national
collection. The evolving international
trade arena and increased competition
have heightened the need to have
accurate, timely information to maintain
and increase U.S. animal agriculture’s
overseas market share.
Need and Use of the Information: The
objective of the NAHRS is to collect data
needed to report the presence of
confirmed clinical disease in
commercial livestock, poultry, and
aquaculture species in the U.S. These
reports are required for membership by
the Office International des Epizooties,
and to meet international trade
reporting requirements for animal
health. On a monthly basis State
veterinarians in each of the 50 States are
asked to complete the NAHRS
Reportable Disease List Form. The form
collects qualitative data from reporting
States on the confirmed presence or
absence of diseases, but does not collect
or report the number of cases.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,400.

[Docket No. APHIS–2006–0015]
Availability of an Addendum to an
Environmental Assessment for Field
Release of Genetically Engineered
Pink Bollworm
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are advising the public
that we have supplemented with an
addendum the environmental
assessment for a proposed field trial of
pink bollworm genetically engineered to
express green fluorescence as a marker.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) proposes to use this
marked strain to assess the effectiveness
of lower doses of radiation to create
sterile insects for its pink bollworm
sterile insect program. This program,
using sterile insect technique, has been
conducted by APHIS, with State and
grower cooperation, since 1968. Data
gained from this field experiment will
be used to improve the current program.
APHIS has supplemented its
environmental assessment in order to
evaluate a new location and new
conditions for the field test. The
addendum is available to the public for
review and comment.
DATES: We will consider all comments
that we receive on or before July 5,
2006.
You may submit comments
by either of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
https://www.regulations.gov and, in the
lower ‘‘Search Regulations and Federal
Actions’’ box, select ‘‘Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service’’ from the
agency drop-down menu, then click on
