the collection of information unless it

number.
Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and
Regulations in 9 CFR, Subchapter E,
Parts 101–124.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0013.
Summary of Collection: The VirusSerum-Toxin Act (37 Stat. 832–833, 21
U.S.C. 151–159) gives the United States
Department of Agriculture, the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) the authority to promulgate
regulations designed to prevent the
importation, preparation, sale, or
shipment of harmful veterinary
biological products. A veterinary
biological product is defined as all
viruses, serums, toxins, and analogous
products of natural or synthetic origin.
In order to effectively implement the
licensing, production, labeling,
importation, and other requirements,
APHIS employs a number of
information gathering tools such as
establishment license applications,
product license applications, product
permit applications, product and test
report forms and field study summaries.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses the information collected as
a primary basis for the approval or
acceptance of issuing licenses or
permits to ensure veterinary biological
products that are used in the United
States are pure, safe, potent, and
effective. Also, APHIS uses the
information to monitor the serials for
purity, safety, potency and efficacy that
are produced by licensed manufacturers
prior to their release for marketing.
Failing to collect this information would
severely cripple APHIS’ ability to
prevent harmful veterinary biologics
from being distributed in the United
States.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for profit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 500.
Frequency of Responses:
