SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Swine Health Protection.
OMB Number: 0579–0065.
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 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.
The Swine Health Protection Act (the
Act) prohibits the feeding of garbage to
swine unless the garbage has been
treated to kill disease organisms.
Untreated garbage is one of the primary
media through which numerous
infectious and communicable diseases
can be transmitted to swine. APHIS’
regulations promulgated under the Act,
which are located at 9 CFR part 166,
require that, before garbage may be fed
to swine, it must be treated at a facility
holding a valid permit to treat the
garbage and must be treated according
to the regulations.
APHIS requires certain information in
order to license (issue a permit to) a
facility to operate and in order to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
monitor the facility for compliance with
the regulations. This information is
collected from applications for a license
to operate a garbage treatment facility,
records of the destination and date of
removal of all food waste or garbage
from the treatment facility, and food
waste reports. With this information, we
are able to carefully monitor garbage
treatment facilities to ensure that they
are meeting our requirements. We are
revising the current collection by adding
an activity for tracking of cancellation of
licenses by licensees and no longer
requiring licensees to acknowledge
receipt of the Act and regulations. The
information provided by the combined
activities is critical in preventing the
interstate spread of various swine
diseases and, therefore, plays a vital role
in our swine health protection program.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
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
0.8802 hours per response.
Respondents: Owners/operators
(licensees) of garbage treatment
facilities, State animal health
authorities, and herd owners.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,715.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 7.5009.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 12,864.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 11,323 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual

for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

June 2011.

Title: Interstate Movement of Sheep
and Goats.
OMB Number: 0579–0258.
Type of Request: Extension of

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department

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.
Scrapie is a progressive, degenerative,
and eventually fatal disease affecting the
nervous system of sheep and goats. Its
control is complicated because the
disease has an extremely long
incubation period without clinical signs
of disease and no known treatment.
APHIS regulations in 9 CFR part 71
restrict the interstate movement of
sheep and goats to control the spread of
scrapie and include provisions for
livestock facilities that handle sheep or
goats in interstate commerce to be
approved by APHIS. These
requirements are intended to ensure that
such facilities are constructed and
operated in a manner that will help
prevent the spread of scrapie and
involve information collection
activities, including an Approval of
Livestock and Facilities Agreement and
recordkeeping.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
