pests or diseases of livestock or poultry.
The Animal & Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is the Agency
charged with carrying out the disease
prevention mission. This Agency
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States
to guard against the introduction of
exotic animal diseases. Disease
prevention is the most effective method
for maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the United
States’ ability to compete in exporting
animals and animal products. The
regulations under which APHIS
conducts disease prevention activities
are contained in Title 9, Chapter D,
parts 91 through 99 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to
ensure that fresh pork and pork
products, as well as poultry carcasses,
parts, and products transiting the
United States from Mexico pose a
negligible risk of introducing classical
swine fever and END into the United
States. APHIS will also collect the name
and address of the exporter, the origin
and destination points of the
commodities, how much and what type
of commodity will be transiting; the
intended port of entry, the date of
transportation, the method and route of
shipment, and other information
concerning the transiting project that
will enable APHIS to determine whether
any disease introduction risk is
associated with the transit and if so,
what risk mitigation measures will be
necessary to minimize that risk.

Title: Infectious Salmon Anemia
(ISA)—Payment of Indemnity.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0192.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is
the primary Federal law governing the
protection of animal health. The law
gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad
authority to detect, control, or eradicate
pest or diseases of livestock or poultry.
Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) poses a
substantial threat to the economic
viability and sustainability of salmon
aquaculture in the United States and
abroad. ISA is the clinical disease
resulting from infection with the ISA
virus; signs include hemorrhaging,
anemia, and lethargy. The Animal and

Farm Service Agency
[FR Doc. 2012–1217 Filed 1–20–12; 8:45 am]
Title: Report of Acreage; Noninsured
Crop Disaster Assistance Program.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0004.
Summary of Collection: 7 U.S.C.
7333(b)(3) specifically requires, for
crops and commodities covered by the
Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance
Program (NAP), annual reports of
acreage planted and prevented from
being planted must be reported, as
required by the Secretary, by the
designated acreage reporting data for the
crop and location as established by the
Secretary. The report of acreage is
conducted on an annual basis and is
used by the Farm Service Agency (FSA)
county offices to determine eligibility
for benefits that are available to
producers on the farm. Respondents
must provide the information each year
because variables such as previous year
experience, weather occurrences and
projections, market demand, new
farming techniques and personal
preferences affect the amount of land
being farmed, the mix of crops planted,
and the projected harvest. Prior year
information while useful is not
sufficient on its own. Therefore,
respondents must supply current data
on a program year basis by the final
reporting date established for their
country to qualify for NAP assistance.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA
will collect information verbally from
the producers during visits to the
county offices. FSA will collect one or
more of the following data elements, as
required: crop planted, planting date,
crop’s intended use, type or variety,
practice (irrigated or non-irrigated),
acres, location of the crop (tract and
field), and the producer’s percent share
in the crop along with the names of
other producers having an interest in
the crop. Once the information is
collected and eligibility established, the
information is used throughout the crop
year to ensure the producer remains
compliant with program provisions.
NAP requires crop, commodity, and
acreage information collection on a
program year basis. Failure to collect the
data on that basis would result in
program overpayments through
producer ineligibility, incorrect acres, or
incorrect shares of the crop.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Quality Control Review
Schedule.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0299.
Summary of Collection: States
agencies are required to perform Quality
Control (QC) review for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). The FNS–380–1,
Quality Control Review Schedule is for
State use to collect both QC data and
case characteristics for SNAP and to
serve as the comprehensive data entry
form for SNAP QC reviews. The
legislative basis for the operation of the
QC system is provided by Section 16 of
the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008.
The proposed OMB inventory for the
reporting and recordkeeping burdens
associated with the FNS–380–1 is
approximately 63,180.60 annual burden
hours. This is a result of an increase in
the current number of completed
reviews and is also attributed to an
increase in the recordkeeping burden
because of a new recording requirement
of all QC errors and error causing
variances in QC final rule titled,
‘‘Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program: Quality Control Error
Tolerance Threshold,’’ Vol. 26, No. 211,
Pg. 67315, which went into effect on
January 3, 2012. The burden estimates
were not included in the regulation
when the rule was published because
FNS did not have clearly defined
burden estimates finalized. At this time,
we developed a more accurate estimate
of these burden requirements, which are
reflected below.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will
collect information to monitor and
reduce errors, develop policy strategies,
and analyze household characteristic
data. In addition, FNS will use the data
to determine sanctions and bonus
payments based on error rate
performance, and to estimate the impact
of some program changes to SNAP
participation and costs by analyzing the
available household characteristic data.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local and Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: 2,257.74.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:

Farm Service Agency
Title: Report of Acreage; Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0004.
Summary of Collection: 7 U.S.C. 7333(b)(3) specifically requires,
for crops and commodities covered by the Noninsured Crop Disaster
Assistance Program (NAP), annual reports of acreage planted and
prevented from being planted must be reported, as required by the
Secretary, by the designated acreage reporting data for the crop and
location as established by the Secretary. The report of acreage is
conducted on an annual basis and is used by the Farm Service Agency
(FSA) county offices to determine eligibility for benefits that are
available to producers on the farm. Respondents must provide the
information each year because variables such as previous year
experience, weather occurrences and projections, market demand, new
farming techniques and personal preferences affect the amount of land
being farmed, the mix of crops planted, and the projected harvest.
Prior year information while useful is not sufficient on its own.
Therefore, respondents must supply current data on a program year basis
by the final reporting date established for their country to qualify
for NAP assistance.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA will collect information
verbally from the producers during visits to the county offices. FSA
will collect one or more of the following data elements, as required:
crop planted, planting date, crop's intended use, type or variety,
practice (irrigated or non-irrigated), acres, location of the crop
(tract and field), and the producer's percent share in the crop along
with the names of other producers having an interest in the crop. Once
the information is collected and eligibility established, the
information is used throughout the crop year to ensure the producer
remains compliant with program provisions. NAP requires crop,
commodity, and acreage information collection on a program year basis.
Failure to collect the data on that basis would result in program
overpayments through producer ineligibility, incorrect acres, or
incorrect shares of the crop.
