Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 7, 2010 / Notices
permanent electronic identification
compatible reader; plans for medical
treatment; application for approval of a
quarantine or holding facility;
opportunity for a hearing on facility
withdrawal or suspension; requests to
change a horse’s itinerary or method of
transportation; and recordkeeping. We
are adding as a new collection activity
a checklist for approval of permanent,
privately owned equine quarantine
facilities.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
This revised information collection
combines equine importation activities
currently approved by OMB under
‘‘Temporary Importation of Horses;
Noncompetitive Entertainment Horses
From Countries Affected With
Contagious Equine Metritis’’(0579–
0324), ‘‘Importation of Horses,
Ruminants, Swine, and Dogs; Inspection
and Treatment for Screwworm (0579–
0165), and ‘‘Importation of Animals and
Poultry, Animal and Poultry Products,
Certain Animal Embryos, Semen, and
Zoological Animals’’ (0579–0040). We
are changing the title to ‘‘Importation of
Equines into the United States’’ to
accurately reflect the combined
collection activities.
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
0.645347 hours per response.
Respondents: Importers of horses into
the United States; operators of private
quarantine facilities; States approved to
conduct contagious equine metritis
testing; State animal health authorities;
foreign government officials;
transporters; hobby farm operators; nonprofit organizations; accredited
veterinarians; private laboratories; and
research institutions.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 35,500.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.64231.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 58,302.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 37,625 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 1st day of
December 2010.
Kevin Shea,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 0578–0013.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31,
2012.
Type of Request: To revise a currently
approved information collection to
update and clarify information that is no
longer included in the information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of
NRCS is to work in partnership with the
American people and the farming and
ranching community to conserve and
sustain our natural resources on
privately owned land. The purpose of
the Long-Term Contracting information
75959
collection is to allow for programs to
provide Federal technical and financial
cost-sharing assistance through longterm contracts to eligible producers,
landowners, and entities. These
contracts provide for making land use
changes and installing conservation
measures and practices to conserve,
develop, and use the soil, water, and
related natural resources on private
lands. Under the terms of the agreement,
the participant agrees to apply, or
arrange to apply, the conservation
treatment specified in the conservation
plan. In return for this agreement,
Federal financial assistance payments
are made to the land user, or third party,
upon successful application of the
conservation treatment. Additionally,
NRCS purchases easements for the longterm protection of the property and
provides for the protection and
management of the property for the life
of the easement.
The information collected through
this package is used by NRCS to ensure
the proper use of program funds.
Section 2904 of the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(2008 Act) (Pub. L. 110–246) exempts
Conservation Programs under Title II of
the 2008 Act from Chapter 35 of Title
44, U.S.C. (Paperwork Reduction Act).
The programs in this information
collection that continue to be subject to
the requirements to the Paperwork
Reduction Act are listed in Table A.
This request will clarify the programs in
this information collection that are no
longer subject to these requirements,
and will identify the reduction in
burden by removing these forms from
the current information collection
package. The exempted programs are
listed in Table B.
TABLE A—CONSERVATION PROGRAMS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT
Program
Description
Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) (7 CFR
part 701).
USDA Farm Service Agency’s ECP provides emergency funding and technical assistance for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters
and for carrying out emergency water conservation measures in periods of severe
drought. Funding for ECP is appropriated by Congress.
The EWP was initiated in 1950 and is administered by NRCS. It provides technical and
financial assistance to local institutions for the removal of storm and flood debris from
stream channels and for the restoration of stream channels and levees to reduce the
threat to life and property. The program also provides for establishing permanent easements in floodplains with private landowners.
The RC&D was initiated in 1962 and is administered by NRCS. Through this program,
NRCS assists multi-county areas in enhancing conservation, water quality, wildlife
habitat, recreation, and rural development. The program provides technical and limited
financial assistance for the planning and installation of approved projects.
The WPFPP, otherwise known as Pub. L. 566, was initiated in 1954 and is administered
by NRCS. It assists State and local units of government in flood prevention, watershed
protection, and water management. Part of this effort involves the establishment of
conservation practices on private lands to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and runoff.
