SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Swine 2012 Study.
OMB Number: 0579–0315.
Type of Request: Reinstatement 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 United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is
authorized, among other things, to
protect the health of our Nation’s
livestock and poultry populations by
preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and for eradicating
such diseases from the United States
when feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS would like to reinstate
the Swine Study which will be used to:
• Describe current U.S. swine
production practices including general
management practices, housing
practices, productivity, disease
prevention, and mortality for five
phases of production: gestation,
farrowing, nursery, grow/finish, and
wean-to-finish;
• Describe trends in swine health and
management practices;
• Determine the prevalence and
associated risk factors for select
respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal,
systemic, and food-borne pathogens
found in weaned market hogs;
• Describe antibiotic usage patterns in
weaned market hogs to control and treat
disease and promote growth;
• Evaluate presence of or exposure to
select pathogens and characterize
isolated organisms from the collection
of biological specimens; and
• Estimate the economic cost of a
selected respiratory, neurologic,
gastrointestinal, systemic, or food-borne
pathogen found in commercial swine
herds.
The Swine 2012 Study will consist of
a screener questionnaire, several onfarm questionnaires, and biologic
sampling. All of these activities will be
administered by National Agricultural
Statistics Service, USDA, designated
data collectors. The information
collected through the Swine 2012 Study
will be analyzed and used to:
• Direct producer education;
• Identify research gaps;
• Facilitate education of future
producers and veterinarians;
• Assess quality assurance programs;
and
• Help with policy formation.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:33 Aug 22, 2011
Jkt 223001
approve our use of this information
collection activity for 2 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
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
information collection, 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
information collection 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
0.4104183 hours per response.
Respondents: Swine producers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 24,380.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 24,380.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 10,006 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 17th day of
August 2011.
