Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Animal &
Poultry, Animal/Poultry Products,
Certain Animal Embryos, Semen, and
Zoological Animals.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0040.
Summary of Collection: Title 21
U.S.C. authorizes sections 111, 114,
114a, 114–1, 115, 120, 121, 125, 126,
134a, 134f, and 134g of 21 U.S.C. These
authorities permit the Secretary to
prevent, control and eliminate domestic
diseases such as brucellosis and
tuberculosis, as well as to take actions
to prevent and to manage exotic
diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease
and rinderpest. Disease prevention is
the most effective method for
maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) ability to compete in exporting
animals and animal products. To fulfill
this mission APHIS must collect
pertinent information from those
individuals who import animals and
poultry, animal and poultry products,
zoological animals, or animal
germplasm into the United States.
APHIS will collect information using
several forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information from
foreign animal health authorities as well
as U.S. importers; foreign exporters;
veterinarians and animal health
technicians in other countries; State
animal health authorities; shippers;
owners and operators of foreign
processing plants and farms; USDAapproved zoos, laboratories, and
feedlots; private quarantine facilities;
and other entities involved (directly or
indirectly) in the importation of animal
and poultry, animals and poultry
products, zoological animals, and
animal germplasm. The information
includes such data as the last reported
outbreak of a given animal disease in
the region, the trading practices engaged
in by the region, and the intensity of the
disease surveillance activities occurring
in the region. This vital information
helps APHIS to ensure that these
imports pose a negligible risk of
introducing exotic animal diseases into
the United States. If the information was
not collected it would cripple or destroy
APHIS ability to protect the United

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Communicable Diseases in
Horses.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0127.
Summary of Collection: Title 21,
U.S.C. 117 Animal Industry Act of 1884
authorizes the Secretary to prevent,
control and eliminate domestic diseases
such as equine infectious anemia, as
well as to take action to prevent and to
manage exotic diseases such as
contagious equine metritis and other
foreign animal diseases. The Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) regulates the importation and
interstate movement of animals and
animal products, and conducts various
other activities to protect the health of
the nation’s livestock and poultry. The
regulations in 9 CFR 75.4 govern the
interstate movement of equines that
have tested positive to an official test for
EIA and provide for the approval of
laboratories, diagnostic facilities, and
research facilities.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected from forms,
APHIS VS 10–11, Equine Infectious
Anemia Laboratory Test; VS 10–12,
Equine Infectious Anemia Supplemental
Investigation; and VS 1–27, Permit for
the Movement of Restricted Animals,
will be used to prevent the spread of
equine infectious anemia. Regulations
also require the use an Agreement for
Approved Livestock Facilities, Request
for Hearing, and Written Notification of
Approval Withdrawal. Without the
information it would be impossible for
APHIS to effectively regulate the
interstate movement of horses infected
with EIA.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Business or other for-profit; State, Local
and Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.

Farm Service Agency
Title: Emergency Conservation
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0082.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:51 Jan 26, 2011
Jkt 223001
Summary of Collection: The Farm
Service Agency (FSA), in cooperation
with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, the Forest
Service, and other agencies and
organizations, provides eligible
producers and landowners cost-share
incentives and technical assistance
through several conservation and
environmental programs to help
farmers, ranchers, and other eligible
landowners and operators conserve soil,
improve water quality, develop forests,
and rehabilitate farmland severely
damaged by natural disasters. The
authorities to collect information for
this collection are found under the
Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16
U.S.C. 2201–2205), which provides
emergency funds for sharing with
agricultural producers the cost of
rehabilitating farmland damaged by
natural disaster, and for carrying out
emergency water conservation measures
during periods of severe drought.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA
will collect information using several
forms. The collected information will be
used to determine if the person, land,
and practices are eligible for
participation in the respective program
and to receive cost-share assistance.
Without the information, FSA will not
be able to make eligibility
determinations and compute payments
in a timely manner.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 40,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 48,778.
Farm Service Agency
Title: Customer Data Worksheet
Request for SCIMS Record Change.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0265.
Summary of Collection: Core
Customer Data is required in order to
identify USDA program participants and
ensure that benefits are directed to the
correct customer and respective Tax
Identification Numbers. There is no
public law regarding the use or
collection of Core Customer Data. The
option to document and track Core
Customer Data changes is necessary to
ensure the integrity of the data and to
provide the Farm Service Agency (FSA),
Natural Resources and Conservation
Service and Rural Development a
method of verifying the validity of the
information, and provide a necessary
basis for pursuing legal remedies when
needed.
Need and Use of the Information:
Core Customer Data is necessary to
input customer information for identity
purposes and to provide a point of
contact for the respective customer and
PO 00000
Frm 00002

a valid Tax Identification Number to
direct program benefits to. The AD–
2047 will be used to document Core
Customer Data changes and also to
provide a method to identify who made
applicable changes and when this was
done. Failure to collect and timely
maintain the data collected will result
in erroneous/out dated point of contact
information, which could result in
program information and benefits being
directed to incorrect recipients.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 51,750.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

Availability of an Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact for a Biological
Control Agent for Asian Citrus Psyllid
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service has prepared an
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact relative to the
control of Asian citrus psyllid
(Diaphorina citri Kuwayama). The
environmental assessment considers the
effects of, and alternatives to, the release
of an insect, Tamarixia radiata, into the
continental United States for use as a
biological control agent to reduce the
severity of Asian citrus psyllid
infestations. Based on our finding of no
significant impact, we have determined
that an environmental impact statement
need not be prepared.
