Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices
Service (APHIS) is authorized, among
other things, to prevent the introduction
and interstate spread of serious diseases
and pests of livestock and for
eradicating such diseases from the
United States when feasible. In support
of this mission, Veterinary Services
(VS), APHIS, prohibits or restricts the
interstate movement of livestock that
have, or have been exposed to, certain
diseases.
Johne’s disease, also known as
paratuberculosis, is caused by
Mycobacterium avium subspecies
paratuberculosis and primarily affects
cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic,
exotic, and wild ruminants. The disease
is a chronic and contagious enteritis that
results in progressive wasting and
eventual death. It is nearly always
introduced into a healthy herd by an
infected animal that is not showing
symptoms of the disease.
The regulations in 9 CFR, chapter I,
subchapter C, govern the interstate
movement of animals to prevent the
dissemination of livestock and poultry
diseases in the United States.
Subchapter C, part 71, contains general
provisions for the interstate movement
of animals, poultry, and their products,
while part 80 pertains specifically to the
interstate movement of domestic
animals that are positive to an official
test for Johne’s disease.
These regulations provide that cattle,
sheep, goats, and other domestic
animals that are positive to an official
test for Johne’s disease may generally be
moved interstate only to a recognized
slaughtering establishment or to an
approved livestock facility for sale to
such an establishment. Supplementing
the regulations are standards outlined in
the document, ‘‘Uniform Program
Standards for the Voluntary Bovine
Johne’s Disease Control Program’’
(VBJDCP). The voluntary, cooperative
program is administered by the States
and supported by industry and APHIS.
As part of the Agency’s efforts to
protect the U.S. animal population and
prevent the interstate spread of Johne’s
disease, VS uses certain information
collection activities, including Johne’s
Disease Control Program Annual
Reports (VS Form 4–29), quarterly
reports, Johne’s Vaccination Records
(VS Forms 4–27 and 4–27A), VBJDCP
test records (VS Forms 4–30 and 4–
30A), Herd Enrollment forms (VS Form
4–28), Risk Assessment and Herd
Management for Dairy Cattle forms (VS
Form 4–32), Risk Assessment and Herd
Management for Beef Cattle forms (VS
Form 4–35), owner-shipper statements
(VS Form 1–27), and official eartags.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:02 Nov 18, 2010
Jkt 223001
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional
3 years.
This information collection includes
information collection requirements
currently approved by OMB control
numbers 0579–0148, ‘‘Johne’s Disease in
Domestic Animals; Interstate
Movement,’’ and 0579–0338, ‘‘Voluntary
Bovine Johne’s Disease Control
Program.’’ After OMB approves and
combines the burden for both
collections under a single collection
titled ‘‘Johne’s Disease’’ (0579–0338), the
Department will retire number 0579–
0148.
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
0.57767189 hours per response.
Respondents: State animal health
officials; State personnel performing
VBJDCP activities; herd owners;
producers; livestock shippers; Johne’scertified veterinarians; and accredited
veterinarians.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 9,125.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 7.244387.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 66,105.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 38,187 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.

Type of Request: Extension of

Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.)
(PPA), the Secretary of Agriculture,
either independently or in cooperation
with States, may carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart—South American Cactus
Moth’’ (§§ 301.55 through 301.55–9),
APHIS restricts the interstate movement
of cactus moth host material, including
nursery stock and plant parts for
consumption, from infested areas of the
United States to help prevent the
artificial spread of South American
cactus moth into noninfested areas of
the United States. The regulations
contain requirements for the interstate
movement of regulated articles and
involve information collection
activities, including compliance
agreements (PPQ Form 519), limited
permits (PPQ Form 530), and certificates
(PPQ Form 540).
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
