characteristics, and visitor input on
management actions for National Park
Wilderness. Emphasis is often on how
well the public perceives the National
Park Service is meeting the mandate of
guiding legislation. National Park
personnel use the collected information
to ensure that the Agency is meeting
their legislated mandates,
understanding how visitors’ recreational
activities influence the natural resources
of the park, and making certain that
wilderness-type recreation experiences
are protected.
Managers at Sequoia and Kings
Canyon National Parks have requested
assistance from the Aldo Leopold
Wilderness Research Institute to gather,
analyze, and report on information from
visitors to contribute to wilderness
stewardship planning. Sequoia and
Kings Canyon National Parks in
California contain 808,000 acres of
federally protected wilderness and
another 30,000 acres are managed as
wilderness per National Park Service
policies. Managers desire to understand
visitor attitudes about administrative
and scientific facilities in the
wilderness, methods used to protect
wilderness conditions and social
conditions, actions taken by managers to
control impacts, visitor perceptions of
wilderness character trends, and
demographics of visitors. The data from
this information collection will be
stored at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness
Research Institute in Missoula,
Montana. Scientists working at the
Research Institute will conduct the data
analysis.
The National Park Service will use
information from this collection to help
make the Wilderness Stewardship Plan
responsive to legislative and policy
guidelines as well as acknowledging a
changing client base of American
citizens and foreign visitors through
creating understanding of:
1. How users feel about such
administrative facilities as ranger
stations, crew camps, and radio
repeaters; user support facilities such as
food storage lockers, bridges, and signs;
research support facilities such as wells,
plot markers, weirs and snow pillows;
trail quality; hand held technology use,
and short-term manipulations of
conditions to achieve long-term
naturalness goals;
2. How different kinds of visitors (e.g.,
overnight users, hikers, stock users,
outfitted, and non-outfitted groups) feel
about the level of isolation and
immersion in nature they perceive; how
they evaluate encounters with others;
and how they evaluate visitor impacts
and management actions taken to
control those impacts;

3. How different kinds of users define
the most important elements of the
wilderness environment and social
conditions, such as naturalness,
wildness, challenge, self-reliance,
crowding, and aesthetics; and
4. How current visitor use
characteristics, attitudes and use
patterns differ from those observed in
the past and at other places, and how
they may be projected to differ in the
future.
Respondents will be overnight
recreation visitors to the wilderness of
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks during the summers of 2011 and
2012. Visitors will be contacted from
information they provide in their
required overnight wilderness permits.
Visitors will be provided alternative
methods of response to the survey about
their recreation experience in the Park:
(1) Mail the survey to the Leopold
Institute using a postage paid envelope,
(2) receive an electronic e-mail form of
the survey, or (3) access a web-based
form of the electronic survey. All
responses will be voluntary. Data
collected in this information collection
are not available from other sources and
nothing comparable has been collected
at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks since 1990.
This survey will only ask overnight
recreation visitors questions about their
recreation visit, their personal
demographics relevant to education and
service provision, and factors that have
influenced or are likely to influence
their recreational wilderness visits.
Survey respondents will be told that
this information is voluntary and in
confidence (their names will not be
connected to their responses in any
way).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 20
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 500.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 167 hours.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the National Park Service, including
whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Aldo Leopold
Wilderness Research Institute’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of

All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Swine Health.
OMB Number: 0579-0137.
Type of Request: Revision and
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) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the interstate movement of
animals and animal products to prevent
the dissemination within the United
States of animal diseases and pests of
livestock and to conduct programs to
detect, control, and eradicate pests and
diseases of livestock. APHIS regulations
at 9 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C,
govern the interstate movement of
animals and other articles to prevent the
spread of pests and diseases of livestock
within the United States.
The regulations in part 71 contain
requirements for the interstate
movement of swine within a production
system to prevent the spread of swine
diseases, and Part 85 regulates the
interstate movement of swine to prevent
the spread of the pseudorabies virus
(PRV). Under the Pseudorabies
Eradication Program, part 52 allows for
the payment of indemnity to owners for
the depopulation of swine known to be
infected with PRV. Together these
regulations protect the health of the U.S.
swine population. Information

collection activities associated with the
regulations include, for part 71, a swine
production system health plan and an
interstate movement report and
notification; for part 85, a Permit to
Move Restricted Animals (VS Form 127), a certificate of veterinary
inspection, an owner-shipper statement,
an accredited veterinarian’s statement
concerning embryos for implantation
and semen shipments, and the
completion and recordkeeping of a
Quarterly Report of Pseudorabies
Control Eradication Activities (VS Form
7-1); and, for part 52, an appraisal and
indemnity claim form (VS Form 1-23),
a herd management plan, VS Form 1-27,
and a report of net salvage goods.
Additionally, the swine must be moved
to slaughter in a means of conveyance
sealed with an official seal.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
This information collection includes
information collection requirements
approved under OMB control numbers
0579-0070, ‘‘Pseudorabies,’’ 0579-0137,
‘‘Pseudorabies in Swine; Payment of
Indemnity,’’ and 0579-0161, ‘‘Interstate
Movement of Swine Within a
Production System.’’ After OMB
approves and combines the burden for
the three collections under a single
collection titled ‘‘Swine Health’’ (05790137), the Department will retire
numbers 0579-0070 and 0579-0161.
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
0.2567212 hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. swine herd owners,
producers, and shippers; hobby farmers;

Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 15.154498.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 116,235.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 29,840 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

three collections under a single collection titled ``Swine Health''
(0579-0137), the Department will retire numbers 0579-0070 and 0579-
0161.
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

(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 0.2567212 hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. swine herd owners, producers, and shippers; hobby
farmers; State animal health officials; and accredited veterinarians.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 7,670.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 15.154498.
Estimated annual number of responses: 116,235.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 29,840 hours. (Due to
