Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is authorized, among other
things, to prevent the interstate spread
of livestock diseases and to eradicate
such diseases from the United States
when feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS’ Veterinary Services
(VS) program conducts animal disease
surveillance programs, including
diagnostic testing.
The regulations in 9 CFR, Subchapter
C, Part 71, ‘‘General Provisions,’’
provide for the collection of blood and
tissue samples from livestock (horses,
cattle, bison, captive cervids, sheep and
goats, swine, and other farmed animals)
and poultry at slaughtering or rendering
establishments. Persons moving
livestock and poultry interstate for
slaughter or rendering may only move
the animals to slaughtering or rendering
establishments that have been listed by
the Administrator of APHIS.
Livestock or poultry may not be
removed from the premises of a
slaughtering or rendering establishment
except under a permit issued by APHIS
and in accordance with applicable
regulations of USDA’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service. Swine may be
moved from a slaughtering
establishment only with a permit that
restricts such movement to either a
holding facility or another slaughtering
establishment and prohibits their return
to the farm for feeding or breeding
purposes, which could expose other
farm animals to diseases that may be
carried by animals intended for
slaughter. Any person wishing to
transport slaughter swine under a
permit for reshipment must submit an
application to APHIS’ Veterinary
Services program for their review and
approval.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (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
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
0.16666 hours per response.
Respondents: Purchasers of market
swine from slaughter facilities
designated for shipment to alternate
holding or slaughtering facilities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents : 60.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 60.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 10 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 14th day of
May 2008 .

Forest Service
Plan Revision for Shoshone National
Forest, WY
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of adjustment for
resuming the land management plan
revision process.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service is
resuming preparation of the Shoshone
National Forest revised land
management plan as directed by the
National Forest Management Act.
Preparation of the revised plan was
halted when the 2005 Forest Service
planning rule was enjoined. A new
planning rule (36 CFR part 219) was
implemented on April 21 2008 allowing
the planning process to be resumed.
This notice resumes the plan revision
process under the new planning rule.
DATES: Resumption is effective upon
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notification of initiation of the plan
revision process for the 1986 Shoshone
National Forest Land and Resource
Management Plan was provided in the
Federal Register on September 20, 2005
(Federal Register Vol. 70, No. 181). The
plan revision was initiated under the
planning procedures contained in the
2005 Forest Service planning rule (36
CFR part 219 (2005)). On March 30,
2007, the federal district court for the
Northern District of California enjoined
the Forest Service from implementing
and using the 2005 planning rule until
the agency provided notice and
comment and conducted an assessment
of the rule’s effects on the environment
and completed consultation under the
Endangered Species Act. Revision of the
Shoshone National Forest Land and
Resource Management Plan under the
(36 CFR part 219 (2005)) rule was
suspended in response to the
injunction. On April 21, 2008 the Forest
Service adopted a new planning rule.
This rule (36 CFR part 219 (2008)) was
adopted following completion of an
environmental impact statement and
consultation under the Endangered
Species Act. This new planning rule
explicitly allows the resumption of plan
revisions started under the previous rule
(36 CFR part 219 (2005)) based on a
finding that the revision process
conforms to the new planning rule (36
CFR 219.14(b)(3)(ii)).
From 2005 until 2007, the Shoshone
National Forest prepared draft
documents including an ecosystem
sustainability analysis, comprehensive
evaluation report, and draft plan
components. The development and
content of those documents and
components are consistent with the
2008 planning rule. Beginning in May
2005 and prior to injunction of the 2005
planning rule, the Shoshone National
Forest conducted public and cooperator
meetings in five local communities,
including approximately 52 public
meetings, 13 Government Cooperators
Work Group meetings, 2 field trips, and
1 revision fair. Draft documents, reports,
and assessments were made available to
the public for informal review and
comment throughout the process. Public
collaboration processes that occurred
are consistent with the 2008 planning
rule. Results from collaboration will be

used as the revision process resumes.
The remainder of the revision process
will be conducted in accordance with
all Forest Service directives applicable
to the 2008 planning rule.
Based on the discussions above, I find
that the planning actions taken prior to
April 21, 2008 conform to the planning
process of the 2008 planning rule and
for that reason the plan revision process
does not need to be restarted. The
Shoshone National Forest is resuming
its plan revision process by scheduling
public meetings to explain how the
Shoshone’s revision process will adjust
to the 2008 Planning Rule, distribute
pre-release versions of the draft
proposed plan, and present a timeline
for the remainder of the revision
process.

SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service is resuming preparation of the

conducted an assessment of the rule's effects on the environment and
completed consultation under the Endangered Species Act. Revision of
the Shoshone National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan under
the (36 CFR part 219 (2005)) rule was suspended in response to the
injunction. On April 21, 2008 the Forest Service adopted a new planning
