January 6, 2009.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
regarding (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for

whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or 
fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Comments regarding these 
information collections are best assured of having their full effect if 
received within 30 days of this notification. Copies of the 
submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Pork-Filled Pasta.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0214.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 
2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal 
health. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to 
detect, control, and eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or 
poultry. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is 
responsible for protecting the health of our Nation's livestock and 
poultry populations by preventing the introduction and interstate 
spread of serious diseases and pests of livestock and for eradicating 
such diseases from the United States when feasible.
    Need and Use of the Information: A certificate must be completed 
and signed by the issuing official, and contains such information as 
the origin of the meat used in the product, the name and location of 
the facility that processed the product, and the product's intended 
destination. Without the information, it would significantly cripple 
APHIS' ability to ensure that pork-filled pasta from certain regions 
pose a minimal risk of introducing swine vesicular disease into the 
United States.
    Description of Respondents: Federal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 1.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 2.

Ruth Brown,
Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
