Abstract: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Animal Care program, conducts activities to administer and enforce the Animal Welfare Act and the Horse Protection Act and regulations issued under those Acts. Animal Care plans to survey nongovernmental organizations interested in animal welfare. Animal Care will randomly select organizations from several sources, primarily those the program interacts with on a regular basis (including allied industry associations and groups concerned with the humane treatment of animals), as well as appropriate organizations listed in the online database GuideStar.org. VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:03 Feb 15, 2007 Jkt 211001 Other organizations may be included as potential respondents by contacting Mr. J. Michael Tuck as indicated under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Animal Care will use the information from the survey to plan improvements to the Animal Care program. We are asking OMB to approve our use of this information collection activity for 3 years. The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our 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 collection of information, 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 collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.16 hours per response. Respondents: Established nongovernmental organizations interested in animal welfare. Estimated annual number of respondents: 500. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1. Estimated annual number of responses: 500. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 80 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.) All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
