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

The regulations are contained in title 9,
parts 92 through 98, of the Code of

The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
require, among other things, that certain

certain animal importations.
The regulations in subpart C of part
93 pertain to the importation of horses
and include requirements for privately
owned quarantine facilities for horses.
These requirements entail certain
information collection activities,
including environmental certification,
application for facility approval, service
agreements, requests to APHIS
concerning withdrawal of approval,
notification to APHIS of facility closure,
compliance agreements, security
procedures, alarm notification, lists of
personnel, signed statements, daily logs,
and requests for variance.
