SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate.
    OMB Number: 0579-0020.
    Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information 
collection.
    Abstract: The export of agricultural commodities, including animals 
and animal products, is a major business in the United States and 
contributes to a favorable balance of trade. As part of its mission, 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) maintains 
information regarding the import health requirements of other countries 
for animals and animal products exported from the United States.
    Most countries require a certification that our animals are free 
from specific diseases and show no clinical evidence of disease. This 
certification must carry the USDA seal and be endorsed by an APHIS, 
APHIS accredited, or State veterinarian. VS Form 17-140, U.S. Origin 
Health Certificate, and its continuation form, VS Form 17-140A, are 
used to meet this requirement. In addition, other information 
collection activities used for the export of animals and animal 
products may include: Environmental certification for export 
facilities; notarized statements; documentation of undue hardship for 
animals departing from a specific export location; requests regarding 
approval or withdrawal of approval of export facilities; and 
recordkeeping for modification of rail stanchions on vessels.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities for an additional 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 
information collection, 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 information collection 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 0.291882 hours per response.
    Respondents: APHIS accredited and State veterinarians; animal 
owners; and exporters.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 3,067.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 29.36648.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 90,067.

[[Page 12756]]

    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 26,289 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
