request that a zone within a given State
is given a different tuberculosis status
than the rest of the State, (2) an

APHIS in order to qualify for renewal of
accredited free State or zone status, (4)
the completion of a certificate of
tuberculin test that must accompany
certain regulated animals that are
moved interstate, (5) the retention, for 2
years of any certificates documenting
the movement of regulated animals into
and out of zones; and (6) the creation of
a tuberculosis herd management plan as
a tool for eradicating the disease within

Economic Research Service
Title: Food Security Supplement to

OMB Control Number: 0536–0043.
Summary of Collection: The Food
Security Supplement is sponsored by
the Economic Research Service (ERS) as
a research and evaluation activity
authorized under Section 17 of the Food
Stamp Act of 1977 as amended. ERS is
collaborating with the Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) and the Bureau
of Census to continue this program of
research and development. The Food
Stamp Program (FSP) is currently the
primary source of nutrition assistance
for low-income Americans enabling
households to improve their diet by
increasing their food purchasing power.
As the nation’s primary public program
for ensuring food security and
alleviating hunger, the Food Stamp
Program needs to regularly monitor food
security conditions among its target
population. This need requires that
USDA continue basic data collection,
analysis, and evaluation.
