SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Commercial Transportation of
Equines for Slaughter.
OMB Number: 0579-0160.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Federal
Agriculture Improvement and Reform
Act of 1996 (‘‘the Farm Bill’’), Congress
gave responsibility to the Secretary of
Agriculture to regulate the commercial
transportation within the United States
of equines for slaughter. Sections 901905 of the Farm Bill (7 U.S.C. 1901 note)
authorized the Secretary to issue
guidelines for the regulation of
commercial transportation of equines
for slaughter by persons regularly
engaged in that activity within the
United States. As a result of that
authority, the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, established regulations in 9
CFR part 88, ‘‘Commercial
Transportation of Equines for
Slaughter.’’
The minimum standards cover,
among other things, the food, water, and
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
rest provided to such equines. The
regulations require the owner/shipper of
the equines to take certain actions in
loading and transporting the equines
and to certify that the commercial
transportation meets certain
requirements. Our regulations prohibit
the commercial transportation to
slaughter facilities of equines
considered to be unfit for travel, the use
of electric prods on such animals in
commercial transportation to slaughter,
and the use of double-deck trailers for
commercial transportation of equines to
slaughtering facilities.
These regulations require the use of
two information collection activities: (1)
The preparation of an owner-shipper
certificate for each equine transported to
slaughter and (2) the collection of
business information from any
individual or other entity found to be
transporting horses to a slaughtering
facility.
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 our
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 collection
of information, 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
collection of information 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
0.388552238 hours per response.
Respondents: Owners and shippers of
slaughter horses; owners/operators of
slaughtering facilities; drivers of
transport vehicles.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 300.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 22.333333.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 6,700.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 2,603 hours. (Due to
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

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 3rd day
of February 2010.
