Veterinary biological products
include viruses, serums, toxins, and
analogous products of natural or
synthetic origin, such as vaccines,
antitoxins, or the immunizing
components of microorganisms
intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or
prevention of diseases in domestic
animals.
APHIS issues licenses to qualified
establishments that produce veterinary
biological products and issues permits
to importers of such products. We also
enforce requirements concerning
production, packaging, labeling, and
shipping of these products and set
standards for the testing of these
products.
To help ensure that veterinary
biological products used in the United
States are pure, safe, potent, and
effective, APHIS requires certain
information collection activities,
including establishment license
applications, product license
applications, product import permit
applications, product and test report
forms, and field study summaries.
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

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

Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
3.42359 hours per response.

biological products; State veterinary
authorities; and operators of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Used Farm
Equipment From Regions Affected With
Foot-and-Mouth Disease.
OMB Number: 0579–0195.
Type of Request: 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 of the United States Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation of animals, animal
products, and other articles into the
United States to prevent the
introduction of animal diseases and
pests. These regulations are contained
in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98.
In part 94, § 94.1 prohibits the
importation of used farm equipment
into the United States from regions in
which foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) or
rinderpest exists, unless the equipment
has been steam-cleaned prior to export
to the United States so that it is free of
exposed dirt and other particulate
matter. Such equipment must be
accompanied to the United States by an
original certificate, signed by an
authorized official of the national
animal health service of the exporting
region, stating that the farm equipment,
after its last use and prior to export, was
steam-cleaned free of all exposed dirt
and other particulate matter.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to

equipment and foreign animal health
officials in FMD-affected regions.

respondents: 150.
