Title: Animal Welfare.
OMB Number: 0579–0093.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The regulations in 9 CFR
parts 1 through 3 were promulgated
under the Animal Welfare Act (the Act)
(7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.) to ensure the
humane handling, care, treatment, and
transportation of animals covered under
the Act. The Act and regulations are
enforced by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 3,
subparts A, D, and E, cover dogs and
cats, nonhuman primates, and marine
mammals, respectively. Subparts B and
C cover rabbits, guinea pigs, and
hamsters. Subpart F of 9 CFR part 3
covers warmblooded animals other than
dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, marine
mammals, rabbits, guinea pigs, and
hamsters. Regulated facilities are
required to keep certain records and
provide specific information regarding
health and feeding, housing, space,
transportation, exercise, perimeter
fencing, marine mammal interactive
programs, and programs of veterinary
care. We review this information to
evaluate program compliance.
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
0.291821788 hour per response.
Respondents: Dealers, research
facilities, exhibitors, carriers, and
immediate handlers.

Estimated annual number of
respondents: 11,687.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 14.73235219.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 172,177.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 50,245 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 6th day of
June 2012.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–43–2012]
Foreign-Trade Zone 139—Sierra Vista,
AZ; Application for Reorganization
Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Sierra Vista Economic
Development Foundation, Inc., grantee
of FTZ 139, requesting authority to
reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (15 CFR Sec.
400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for
grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of general-purpose zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new
subzones or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites
for operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a81u), and the regulations of the Board
(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed
on June 5, 2012.
FTZ 139 was approved by the Board
on March 13, 1987 (Board Order 352, 52
FR 9320, 03/24/1987). The current zone
project includes the following site: Site
1 (4.7 acres)—Sierra Vista Commerce
Center, Highway 90, Sierra Vista.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Cochise
County, Arizona, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee
