SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Requirements for Recognizing the Animal Health Status of Foreign Regions. OMB Number: 0579–0219. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture is authorized, among other things, to prohibit or restrict the importation and interstate movement of animals and animal products to prevent the introduction into and dissemination within the United States of animal diseases and pests. Regulations governing the importation of animals and animal products into the United States are contained in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98. The regulations in 9 CFR part 92, ‘‘Importation of Animals and Animal Products: Procedures for Requesting Recognition of Regions,’’ set out the process by which a foreign government may request recognition of the animal health status of a region or approval to export animals or animal products to the United States based on the risk associated with animals or animal products from that region. Each request must include information about the region, including information on the veterinary services organization of the region; the extent to which movement of animals and animal products is controlled from regions of higher risk and the level of biosecurity for such movements; livestock demographics and marketing practices in the region; diagnostic laboratory capabilities in the region; and the region’s policies and infrastructure for animal disease control. Additionally, we require regions that have been granted status under the regulations to provide information, or allow us to access PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information, to confirm the regions’ animal health status when we request it. The types of information collected will vary based on the information required to adequately assess a region’s animal health status. 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 this 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 40 hours per response. Respondents: Veterinary authorities in foreign regions that have been granted a particular animal health status for a specified animal disease. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 3. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 3. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 120 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 13th day of November 2008. Kevin Shea, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. [FR Doc.
