Title: Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection Resource Sharing Form.
OMB Control Number: 0518–0031.
Summary of Collection: The voluntary
‘‘Sharing Form’’ gives Food Stamp
nutrition education providers the
opportunity to share information about
resources that they have developed or
used. Data collected using this form
helps the Food and Nutrition
Information Center (FNIC) identify
existing nutrition education and
training resources for review and
inclusion into the Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection’s Resource Finder Database.
State and local FSNE providers can use
this database to identify and acquire
existing, available nutrition education
materials.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSNC staff members will use the
collected information by the Resource
Sharing Form to build and constantly
enhance the online database of nutrition
education and training materials known
as the Resource Finder Database. FSNE
providers access and use the database to
identify and obtain curricula, lesson
plan, research, training tools and
participant materials. The information
will be collected using online and
printed versions of the form. Failure to
collect this information would
significantly inhibit FNIC’s ability to
provide up-to-date information on
existing nutrition education materials
that are appropriate for FSNE programs
and providers.

Title: Evaluation of User Satisfaction
with NAL Internet Sites.
OMB Control Number: 0518–0040.
Summary of Collection: There is a
need to measure user satisfaction with
the National Agricultural Library (NAL)
Internet sites in order for NAL to
comply with Executive Order 12862,
which directs federal agencies that
provide significant services directly to
the public to survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services. NAL
Internet sites are a vast collection of
Web pages created and maintained by
component organizations of NAL, and
are visited by 4.6 million people per
month on average. The information
generated from this research will enable
NAL to evaluate the success of this new
modality in response to fulfilling its
legislative mandate to disseminate vital
agricultural information and truly
become the national digital library of
agriculture.
Need and Use of the Information: The
purpose of the research is to ensure that
intended audiences find the information
provided on the Internet sites easy to
access, clear, informative, and useful.
The research will provide a means by
which to classify visitors to the NAL
Internet sites, to better understand how
to serve them. If the information is not
collected, NAL will be hindered from
advancing its mandate to provide
accurate, timely information to its users
community.

Summary of Collection: Title 7, U.S.C.
8301, The Animal Health Protection
Act, authorizes the Secretary to prevent,

(APHIS), is responsible for
administering regulations intended to
prevent the dissemination of animal
diseases within the United States.
Garbage is one of the primary media
through which numerous infections or
communicable diseases of swine are
transmitted. Because of the serious
threat to the U.S. swine industry,
Congress passed Public Law 96–468
‘‘Swine Health Protection Act’’ on
October 17, 1980. This law requires
USDA to ensure that all garbage is
treated prior to its being fed to swine
that are intended for interstate or foreign
commerce or that substantially affect
such commerce. The Act and the
regulations will allow only operators of
garbage treatment facilities, which meet
certain specification to utilize garbage
for swine feeding. APHIS will use
various forms to collect information.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS collects information from
persons desiring to obtain a permit
(license) to operate a facility to treat
garbage. Prior to issuance of a license,
an inspection will be made of the
facility by an authorized representative
to determine if it meets all requirements
of the regulations. Periodic inspections
will be made to determine if licenses are
meeting the standards for operation of
their approved facilities. Upon receipt
of the information from the Public
Health Officials, the information is used
by Federal or State animal health
personnel to determine whether the
waste collector is feeding garbage to
swine, whether it is being treated, and
whether the feeder is licensed or needs
to be licensed.

Title: CWD in Cervids; Payment of
Indemnity.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0189.
Summary of Collection: Title 7, U.S.C.
8301, Animal Health Protection Act,
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to promulgate regulations and take
measures to prevent the introduction
into the United States and the interstate
dissemination with the United States of
communicable diseases of livestock and
poultry, and to pay claims growing out
of the destruction of animals. Disease
prevention is the most effective method
for maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the Animal

(APHIS) ability to complete in exporting

animals and animal products. Chronic
wasting disease (CWD) is a
transmissible spongiform
encephalopathy (TSE) of elk, deer and
moose typified by chronic weight loss
leading to death. The presence of CWD
disease in cervids causes significant
economic and market losses to U.S.
producers. APHIS will collect
information using VS Form 1–23,
Appraisal & Indemnity Claim form.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect the owner’s name
and address, the number of animals for
which the owner is seeking payment,
and the appraised value of each animal.
The owner must also certify as to
whether the animals are subject to a
mortgage. If there is a mortgage the form
must be signed by the owner and each
person holding a mortgage. Failure to
collect this information would make it
impossible for APHIS to effectively
sustain their program to accelerate the
eradication of CWD from the United
States.
