Title: National Poultry Improvement
Plan.
OMB Number: 0579–0007.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval 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 is authorized
to, among other things, administer the
National Poultry Improvement Plan
(NPIP or the Plan), the primary purpose
of which is to protect the health of the
U.S. poultry population. NPIP is a
voluntary Federal-State-industry
cooperative program for the
improvement of poultry flocks and
products through disease control
techniques. Participation in all Plan
programs is voluntary, but flocks,
hatcheries, and dealers of breeding
poultry must first qualify as ‘‘U.S.
Pullorum-Typhoid Clean’’ as a
condition for participation in the other
Plan programs. The NPIP regulations are
contained in 9 CFR parts, 56, 145, 146,
and 147.
In administering the Plan, APHIS
requires a number of information
activities and forms, including VS
Forms 1–23/1–23A, Appraisal and
Indemnity Claim for Animals Destroyed
or Materials Destroyed/Continuation

to States, upon request, of computerized
printouts of interstate sales by hatchery
operators who ship large numbers of
small chick orders.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 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
0.61926273 hours per response.
Respondents: Flock owners, breeders,
hatchery operators, table-egg producers,
meat-type chicken and turkey slaughter
plant workers, personnel at approved
laboratories, and State personnel.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 10.800.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 15.45490741.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 166,913.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 103,363 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 21st day of
May 2012.

Title:
Importation of Live Poultry, Poultry
Meat, and Other Poultry Products from
Specified Regions.
OMB Number: 0579–0228.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the authority of 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 is authorized, among other
things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation and interstate movement of
animals and animal products to prevent
the introduction into and dissemination
within the United States of livestock
diseases and pests. To carry out the
mission, APHIS regulates the
importation of animals and animal
products into the United States. The
regulations are contained in title 9, parts
92 through 98, of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
In part 94, § 94.26 allows the
importation, subject to certain
conditions, of live poultry, poultry
meat, and other poultry products from
certain regions, including Argentina and
the Mexican States of Campeche,
Quintana Roo, and Yucatan, that are free
of exotic Newcastle disease (END). The
conditions for importation require,
among other things, certification from a
full-time salaried veterinary officer of
the national government of the
exporting region that poultry and
poultry products exported from one of
these regions originated in that region
(or in another region recognized by
APHIS as free of END) and that before
the export to the United States, the
poultry and poultry products were not
commingled with poultry and poultry
products from regions where END
exists.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 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
