Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Notices
importation of animal and poultry
products and byproducts, including
fresh (frozen or chilled) pork and pork
products, into the United States. For
fresh pork and pork products, these
include certification of the pork or pork
products by foreign national
governments; application of seals; if a
seal is broken, information on where
and why; requests for approval of
defrost facilities and for hearings
regarding denial or termination of
approval; applications for importing
small amounts of pork or pork products
for analysis, testing, or examination;
cooperative service (trust fund)
agreements; notifications to Federal
inspectors of the arrival in the United
States of pork or pork products from
foreign regions; and recordkeeping.
These activities are currently
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under OMB control
number 0579–0015, which also covers
information collection activities for a
variety of other animal and poultry
products imported into the United
States. We are proposing to separate the
commodities previously approved
under OMB control number 0579–0015
into individual collections to better
reflect the commodities’ specific
collection activities and account for the
information APHIS collects. Once
approved by OMB, only information
collection activities associated with the
importation of nonfood animal and
poultry products and byproducts will be
under OMB control number 0579–0015.
Information collection activities for
fresh pork or pork products and other
commodities now covered under OMB
control number 0579–0015 will receive
new numbers when approved.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of the information
collection activities related to
importation of fresh (frozen or chilled)
pork or pork products for 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
84.96126418 hours per response.
Respondents: Foreign national
governments; shippers’ crews;
inspectors; defrost facility operators;
processing facility operators;
laboratories, museums, and States; and
meat processing facility operators.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 93.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 66.344086.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 6,170.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 524,211 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.

February 2012.
