Title: National Veterinary Services
Laboratories Request Forms.
OMB Number: 0579-XXXX.
Type of Request: Approval of an
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to carry out activities to
detect, control, and eradicate pests and
diseases of livestock within the United
States. To carry out this mission,
APHIS’ National Veterinary Services
Laboratories (NVSL) safeguard U.S
animal health and contribute to public
health by ensuring that timely and
accurate laboratory support is provided
by their nationwide animal health
diagnostic system.
NVSL support activities provide upon
request reagents or supplies and training
to domestic and foreign diagnostic
laboratories, governments, researchers,
and private veterinary practitioners.
These activities involve information
collection activities, including the VS
Form 4-9, Request for Reagents or
Supplies; VS Form 4-10, NVSL
Customer Contact Update; and VS Form
4-11, Request for NVSL Laboratory
Training.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
PO 00000

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
0.2488771 hours per response.
Respondents: Domestic and foreign
diagnostic laboratories, governments,
researchers, and private veterinary
practitioners.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,085.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3.4884792.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 3,785.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 942 hours. (Due to
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.

Title: Importation of Horses,
Ruminants, Swine, and Dogs; Inspection

OMB Number: 0579-0165.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) regulates the
importation and interstate movement of
certain animals and animal products to
prevent the introduction into or
dissemination within the United States
of pests and diseases of livestock.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
prohibit or restrict the importation of
certain animals into the United States to
prevent the introduction of
communicable diseases of livestock and
poultry. Subparts C, D, E, and F of the
regulations govern the importation of
horses, ruminants, swine, and dogs,
respectively, and include provisions for
the inspection and treatment of these
animals if imported from any region of
the world where screwworm is
considered to exist. Screwworm is a
pest native to tropical areas of South
America, the Indian subcontinent,
Southeast Asia, tropical and subSaharan Africa, and the Arabian
peninsula. Screwworm causes extensive
damage to livestock and other
warmblooded animals.
These regulations involve the use of
information collection activities,
including an Application for Import or
In Transit Permit for horses, ruminants,
and swine and a certificate for horses,
ruminants, swine, and dogs signed by a
full-time salaried veterinary official of
the exporting region stating that the
animal has been inspected, under
certain conditions, and found free of
screwworm and, as appropriate, that the
animal was treated for screwworm.
We are asking the Office of
Management (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

of information, including the validity of
