Title: Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and
Regulations in 9 CFR, Subchapter E,
Parts 101–124.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0013.
Summary of Collection: The VirusSerum-Toxin Act (37 Stat. 832–833, 21
U.S.C. 151–159) gives the United States
Department of Agriculture, the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) the authority to promulgate
regulations designed to prevent the
importation, preparation, sale, or
shipment of harmful veterinary
biological products. A veterinary
biological product is defined as all
viruses, serums, toxins, and analogous
products of natural or synthetic origin.
In order to effectively implement the
licensing, production, labeling,
importation, and other requirements,
APHIS employs a number of
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information gathering tools such as
establishment license applications,
product license applications, product
permit applications, product and test
report forms and field study summaries.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses the information collected as
a primary basis for the approval or
acceptance of issuing licenses or
permits to ensure veterinary biological
products that are used in the United
States are pure, safe, potent, and
effective. Also, APHIS uses the
information to monitor the serials for
purity, safety, potency and efficacy that
are produced by licensed manufacturers
prior to their release for marketing.
Failing to collect this information would
severely cripple APHIS’ ability to
prevent harmful veterinary biologics
from being distributed in the United
States.

Title: Scrapie in Sheep and Goats;
Interstate Movement Restrictions and
Indemnity Program.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0101.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act
of 2002, Public Law 107–71, subtitle E,
Animal Health Protection, Section
10401–10418, the Secretary of
Agriculture, in order to protect the
agriculture, environment, economy, and
health and welfare of the people of the
United States by preventing, detecting,
controlling, and eradicating diseases
and pests of animal, is authorized to
cooperate with foreign countries, States,
and other jurisdictions, or other person,
to prevent and eliminate burdens on
interstate commerce and foreign
commerce, and to regulate effectively
interstate commerce and foreign
commerce. Scrapie is a progressive,
degenerative and eventually fatal
disease affecting the central nervous
system of sheep and goats. Its control is
complicated because the disease has an
extremely long incubation period
E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM

77768
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices
without clinical signs of disease, and
there is no test for the disease and or
known treatment. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
restricts the interstate movement of
certain sheep and goats to help prevent
the spread of scrapie. APHIS has
regulations at 9 CFR part 54 for an
indemnity program to compensate
owners of sheep and goats destroyed
because of scrapie.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information using
cooperative agreements; applications
from owners to participate in the
Scrapie Flock Certification Program;
post-exposure management and
monitoring plans; scrapie test records;
application for indemnity payments;
certificates, permits, and owner
statements for the interstate movement
of certain sheep and goats; application
for premises identification numbers;
and applications for APHIS-approved
eartags, backtags, or tattoos, etc. Without
this information APHIS’ efforts to more
aggressively prevent the spread of
scrapie would be severely hindered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Flathead Wild and Scenic River
Visitor Survey and McKenzie River
Visitor Survey.
OMB Number: 0596–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: NA.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The Flathead and
Willamette National Forests are
proposing to implement an information
collection from forest visitors who are
recreating on or near the Flathead Wild
and Scenic River or on or near the
McKenzie Wild and Scenic River or
McKenzie National Recreational Trail.
There are different issues on each river
creating a need to collect different
information; therefore, two separate
surveys will be administered for the
Flathead and Willamette Rivers though
the methodology for collection will be
essentially identical.
The visitor survey will support
development of the Flathead
Comprehensive River Management Plan
(CRMP), implementation of the exiting
Upper McKenzie River Management
Plan, and will provide needed
information for managers to protect and
enhance the outstandingly remarkable
values for which the Flathead and
McKenzie Rivers were designated. In
addition, the survey proposed will help
managers to identify the most important
indicators to monitor over the life of the
plan to determine if any thresholds are
being approached and if management
action may need to occur.
Information will be collected from
visitors who are recreating on or near
the Flathead and McKenzie Rivers and
McKenzie National Recreational Trail
by in-person, written surveys which
will be administered by Forest Service
or National Park Service (Flathead)
employees, volunteers, or study
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
cooperators to randomly selected
visitors. Surveys will ask visitors to
provide information about their trip and
activities, environmental and social
conditions that may alter the quality of
their recreational experience, and their
attitudes toward different existing and
potential recreation management
policies and practices. Visitors’
responses are voluntary and
anonymous.
Data will be entered into an Excel
database. Once data entry has been
completed and validated, the hardcopy
questionnaires will be discarded. Data
will be imported into SPSS (Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences) for
analysis. The database will be
maintained at the respective National
Forest to and used for development of
subsequent management plans and
direction.
Collecting thoughts from the public
on how these areas should be managed
and consideration of their interests and
priorities is a critical component to
developing a fair and balanced
management plan and strategy. Without
the public’s involvement, a plan has the
risk of being biased and ineffective.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 20
minutes.
Type of Respondents: National Forest
and National Park (Flathead) visitors
(adults, age 16 and older) who are
recreating on or near the Flathead or
McKenzie Rivers or the McKenzie
National Recreational Trail.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 1000 (Willamette) and
1200 (Flathead).
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 333 hours (Willamette)
and 400 hours (Flathead).
Comment Is Invited
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
