the collection of information unless it

number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Health Certificate for the Export
of Live Crustaceans, Finfish, Mollusks,
and Related Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0278.
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
pests or diseases of livestock or poultry.
The AHPA is contained in Title X,
Subtitle E, Sections 10401–18 of Public
Law 107–171, May 13, 2002, the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act of
2002. The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) maintains
information regarding the import health
requirements of other countries for
animals and animal products exported
from the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS requires U.S. exporters to
complete an export health certificate
before exporting any live crustaceans
and their gametes, live finfish, and their
gametes, or live mollucks and their
gametes, if requested by the importing
country. The certificate will be
completed by an accredited veterinarian
with assistance from the producer, and
must be signed by the accredited
veterinarian and endorsed by APHIS as
the competent Federal authority who
certifies the health status of the
shipment being exported. The health
certificate identifies the names of the
species being exported from the U.S.,
their age and weights, and whether they
are cultured stock or wild stock; their
place of origin, their country of
destination and the date and method of
transport. If this information were not
collected, or collected less frequently,
export trade would decrease. These
certificates allow APHIS to address the
increasing health attestations of
importing countries with minimal
burden to the public.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 69.
