the United States Department of
Agriculture is authorized, among other
things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation of animals, animal
products, and other articles into the
United States to prevent the
introduction of animal diseases and
pests. In connection with this mission,
APHIS collects pertinent information
from persons who import animals or
poultry, animal or poultry products, or
animal germplasm into the United
States.
This information includes data such
as the origins of the animals or animal
products to be imported, the health
status of the animals or the processing
methods used to produce animal
products to be imported, and whether
the animals or animal products were
temporarily offloaded in another
country during their transit to the
United States. We need this information
to help ensure that these imports do not
introduce exotic animal diseases into
the United States.
We use a variety of information
collection procedures, devices, and
forms including, but not limited to:
Health certificates, import permits, ear
tags, leg bands, specimen submission
forms, inspection reports, cooperative
and trust fund agreements, and
certification statements.
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
0.41688779 hours per response.

averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)

for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

SUMMARY: The International Cooperation
