SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Credit Account Approval for
Reimbursable Services.
OMB Number: 0579–0055.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
provides the services of a Federal
inspector to clear imported and
exported agricultural commodities for
animal and plant health purposes.
These services are paid for by user fees
during regular working hours. If an
importer wishes to have shipments
cleared at other hours, such services
will usually be provided on a
reimbursable overtime basis, unless
already covered by a user fee. Exporters
wishing cargo to be certified during
nonworking hours may also utilize this
procedure.
Many importers and exporters who
require inspection services are repeat
customers who request that APHIS bill

Jkt 229001
them. The Agency needs to collect
certain information to conduct a credit
check on prospective applicants to
ensure creditworthiness prior to
extending credit services and to prepare
billings. Also, the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996, as amended
(31 U.S.C. 3332), requires that agencies
collect tax identification numbers from
all persons doing business with the
Government for purposes of collecting
delinquent debts. APHIS Form 192
(Application for Credit Account) is used
to collect this information and must be
completed before credit is extended.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity 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 0.25
hours per response.
Respondents: Importers, exporters, or
brokers who wish to set up an account
for billing of inspection services
provided during nonworking hours.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 225.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 225.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 56 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Swine Health Protection.
OMB Number: 0579–0065.
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 U.S. Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the
interstate movement of animals and
animal products to prevent the
dissemination within the United States
of animal diseases and pests of livestock
and to conduct programs to detect,
control, and eradicate pests and disease
of livestock.
The Swine Health Protection Act (the
Act) prohibits the feeding of garbage to
swine intended for interstate movement
or foreign commerce or that
substantially affect such commerce
unless the garbage has been treated to
kill disease organisms. Untreated
garbage is one of the primary media
through which numerous infectious and
communicable diseases can be
transmitted to swine. APHIS’
regulations promulgated under the Act,
which are located at 9 CFR part 166,
require that garbage intended to be fed
to swine must be treated at a facility that
holds a valid permit to treat the garbage
and must be treated in accordance with
the regulations.
APHIS requires certain information in
order to license (issue a permit to) a
facility to operate and to monitor the
facility for compliance with the
regulations. APHIS collects this
information from applications for a
license to operate a garbage treatment
facility, records of the destination and
date of removal of all food waste or
garbage from the treatment facility, and
food waste reports. With this
information, APHIS is able to carefully
monitor garbage treatment facilities to
ensure that they are meeting the
requirements. In addition, other
required information collection
activities, include acknowledgement of
receipt of the Act and regulations by
applicants, request for cancellation of a
license, notification of illness or death
of animals, request for hearing, and
inspection. The information provided
by the combined activities is critical in
preventing the interstate spread of
various swine diseases and, therefore,
plays a vital role in our swine health
protection program.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit

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

(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 0.88
hours per response.
Respondents: Owners/operators
(licensees) of garbage treatment
facilities, herd owners, food
establishments, and State animal health
authorities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2,110.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 12,897.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 11,333 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.
