regarding continuing with modifying, or
terminating grant assistance. If the

Title: National Poultry Improvement

OMB Control Number: 0579–0007.
Summary of Collection: The National
Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a
voluntary Federal-State-industry
mechanism for controlling certain
poultry diseases and for improving
poultry flocks and products through
disease control techniques. The
National Turkey Improvement Plan was
combined with the NPIP in 1970 to
create the NPIP, as it now exists. Emu,
rhea, ostrich, and cassowary breeding
flocks are also allowed participation in
the Plan. The effective implementation
of the NPIP necessitates the use of
several information collection activities,
including sentinel bird identification, as
well as the creation and submission of
flock testing reports, sales reports,
breeding flock participation summaries,
hatchery participation summaries,
salmonella investigation reports,
salmonella serotyping requests, and
small chick order printouts. Authority
for this program is contained in the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Organic Act
of 1944, as amended (7 U.S.C. 429). The
cooperative work is carried out through
a Memorandum of Understanding with
the participating States.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information is collected from various
types of poultry breeders and flock
owners to determine the number of eggs
hatched and sold as well as to report
outbreaks of diseases. This information
allows APHIS officials to track, control,
and prevent many types of poultry
diseases. APHIS will use several forms
to collect the needed information.

Local or Tribal Government; Federal
Government; Farms.
