SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Animal Health
Reporting System (NAHRS).
OMB Number: 0579–0299.
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 Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation and interstate movement of
animals and other articles to prevent the
introduction and interstate spread of
livestock diseases and to eradicate such
diseases from the United States when
feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS operates the National
Animal Health Reporting System
(NAHRS), which collects, on a national
basis, data monthly from State
veterinarians on the presence or absence
of diseases of interest to the World
Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
As a member country of OIE, the
United States must submit reports to the
OIE on the status of certain diseases in
specific livestock, poultry, and
aquaculture species. Reportable diseases
are diseases that have the potential for
rapid spread, irrespective of national
borders, that are of serious
socioeconomic or public health
consequence, and that are of major
importance in the international trade of
animals and animal products. The
potential benefits to trade of accurate
reporting on the health status of the U.S.
commercial livestock, poultry, and
aquaculture industries include
expansion of those industries into new
export markets, and preservation of
existing markets through increased
confidence in quality and disease
freedom. This data collection is unique
in terms of the type, quantity, and
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
frequency; no other entity is collecting
and reporting data to the OIE on the
health status of U.S. livestock, poultry,
and aquaculture.
The number of NAHRS reportable
diseases has increased approximately
from 120 to 150 diseases in 2012 in part
due to the expansion of information
collected on aquaculture diseases. In
addition, States have expanded their
laboratory resources through improved
laboratory information management
systems, the information collected
regarding equine infectious anemia has
been expanded, and increased efforts
are being made by APHIS to validate the
information collected from States.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities 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 8
hours per response.
Respondents: State animal health
officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 52.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 12.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 624.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 4,992 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.)
