the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is authorized,
among other things, to carry out
activities to detect, control, and
eradicate pests and diseases of livestock
within the United States. APHIS’

NVSL conducts an ongoing
surveillance program to monitor and
assess changes to the BSE status of U.S
cattle and to provide mechanisms for
early detection of BSE. NVSL collects
samples from a variety of sites and from
the cattle populations where the disease
is most likely to be detected. These
diagnostic services involve information
collection activities, including the BSE
Surveillance Submission Form/
Continuation Sheet (VS Forms 17-146/
17-146A) and the BSE Surveillance Data
Collection Form (VS Form 17-131).
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
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
information collection, 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
information collection 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
0.1000068 hours per response.
Respondents: Slaughter
establishments, offsite collection
facilities for condemned slaughter, 3D/
4D facilities, veterinary diagnostic
laboratories, and State animal health
personnel.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 60.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 732.95.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 43,977.
Estimated total annual burden on
