The Law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS) conducts disease prevention activities in accordance with regulations in Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Parts 91 through 99, of the Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations govern the importation of animals, birds, and poultry products, and animal germplasm. Under these regulations, certain regions of the European Union are allowed to export into the United States live breeding swine, pork, and pork products and swine semen. Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information concerning the origin and history of the items destined for importation into the United States. APHIS will also collect information to ensure that swine, pork and pork products, and swine semen pose a negligible risk of introducing exotic swine diseases into the United States. If the information is not collected it would cripple APHIS ability to ensure that swine, pork and pork products, and swine semen pose a minimal risk of introducing classical swine fever and other exotic animal disease into the United States.

Food and Nutrition Service Title: Food and Nutrition Service Evaluation of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. Summary of Collection: The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 110–246) expanded the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) nationwide and directed the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to conduct an evaluation resulting in a report to Congress in September PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2011. The FFVP administered by FNS has the broad goal of fighting childhood obesity and improving overall diet quality by teaching children healthier eating habits. Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables has been found to reduce long-term obesity risk. Specific objectives of the FFVP are: To create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices; to expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience; to increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption; and to make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health. Need and Use of the Information: The evaluation of the FFVP has two main objectives: (1) To examine how the FFVP is currently being implemented, and (2) to estimate program impacts on participating students. To address these objectives, FNS has 36 research questions that will be grouped into six broad research categories for the evaluation. The information gathered in the data collection activities will be used by FNS to determine if students at FFVP schools have higher fresh fruits and vegetable consumption than students at non-participating schools, and whether FFVP induced other dietary changes such as decreased consumption of less nutritious foods among students.
