Wisconsin. The Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937 was designed to
permit regulation of certain agricultural
commodities for the purpose of
providing orderly marketing conditions
in inter and intrastate commerce and
improving returns to growers. The
primary objective of the Order is to
stabilize the supply of tart cherries.
Only tart cherries that will be canned or
frozen will be regulated. The Order is
administered by an 18 member Board
comprised of producers, handlers and
one public member, plus alternates for
each. The members will serve for a
three-year term of office.
Need and Use of the Information:
Various forms were developed by the
Board for persons to file required
information relating to tart cherry
inventories, shipments, diversions and
other needed information to effectively
carry out the requirements of the Order.
The information collected is used to
ensure compliance, verify eligibility,
and vote on amendments, monitor and
record grower’s information. Authorized
Board employees and the industry are
the primary users of the information. If
information were not collected, it would
eliminate needed data to keep the
industry and the Secretary abreast of
changes at the State and local level.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Highly Pathogenic Avian
Influenza, All Subtypes, and Newcastle
Disease; Additional Restrictions.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0245.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA), 7 U.S.C
8301, 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 agency charged
with carrying out this disease
prevention mission is the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), through its Veterinary Services
(VS) Program. Highly pathogenic avian
influenza (HPAI) and Newcastle Disease
are extremely infectious and often fatal
disease affecting all types of birds and
poultry.
Need and Use of the Information: To
protect the United States against an
incursion of HPAI and Newcastle
Disease, APHIS requires the use of
several information collection activities,
including an USDA–APHIS–VS
Application For Permit To Import or
Transport Controlled Materials or

USDA–APHIS–VS Agreement for
Handling Restricted Imports of Animal
By-Products and Controlled Materials
(VS Form 16–26); USDA–APHIS–VS
Report of Entry, Shipment of Restricted
Imported Animal Products and Animal
By-Products, and Other Material (VS
Form 16–78); USDA–APHIS–VS
Application for Import or in Transit
Permit (Animals, Animal Semen,
Animal Embryos, Birds, Poultry, and
Hatching Eggs) (VS Form 17–129);
USDA–APHIS Agreement of Pet Bird
Owner (VS Form 17–8); application of
seals and agreements; notarized
declaration or affirmation; notification
of signs of disease in a recently
imported bird; cooperative service
agreements, and recordkeeping by
processing establishments. APHIS will
collect information to ensure that U.S.
birds and poultry undergo appropriate
examinations before entering the United
States. Without the information, it
would be impossible for APHIS to
establish an effective line of defense
against an introduction of HPAI and
Newcastle Disease.

other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,680.
