DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Food and Nutrition Service
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program: State Issuance and
Participation Estimates—Forms FNS388 and FNS–388A.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0081.
Summary of Collection: Section 18(b)
of Food and Nutrition Act, (the Act) 7
U.S.C. 2027(b), limits the value of
allotments paid to SNAP households to
an amount not in excess of the
appropriation for the fiscal year. Timely
State monthly issuance estimates are
necessary for the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) to ensure that it remains
within the appropriation and will have
a direct effect upon the manner in
which allotments would be reduced if
necessary. While benefit reductions
have never been ordered in the past
under Section 18(b) nor are they
anticipated based on current data, the
Department must continue to monitor
actual program costs against the
appropriation.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
uses the FNS–388 report to obtain
monthly estimated or actual issuance
and participation data for the current
and previous months. The FNS–388 is
being updated to include separate
reporting of Disaster SNAP benefit
issuance and participation data which
will improve data accountability and
ensure data is available on a monthly
basis for timely response to Federal,
State and other inquiries. In addition,
State agencies are required to submit a
project area breakdown on the FNS–388,
of issuance and participation data twice
a year. The project area breakdown
attached to the FNS–388, twice a year is
known as the FNS–388A. This data is
useful in identifying project areas that
operate fraud detection units in
accordance with the Act.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: Monthly;
semi-annually.
Total Burden Hours: 5,187.

Summary of Collection: The majority
of Forest Service’s (FS) financial records

Information Security Reform Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–347) and Information
Technology Management Reform Act of
1996 (Pub. L. 104–106) authorize the
Forest Service to obtain information
necessary for contracted employees to
access and maintain these records.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Forest Service uses a paper and
electronic version of its form FS–6500–
214 to gather name, work email, work
telephone number, job title etc. for a
specific contracted employee to apply to
NFC for access. Prior to filling out the
firm, contractors must first complete
specific training before a user may
request access to certain financial
systems. NFC grants access to users only
at the request of Client Security Officers.
The unit’s Client Security Officer is
responsible for management of access to
computers and coordinates all requests
for NFC. The information collected is
shared with those managing or
overseeing the financial systems used by
the FS, this includes auditors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Johne’s Disease.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0338.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA’s) Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) is
authorized, among other things, to
prevent the introduction and interstate
spread of serious diseases and pests of
livestock and for eradicating such
diseases and pests from the United
States when feasible. In support of this
mission, APHIS’ Veterinary Services
(VS) prohibits or restricts the interstate
movement of livestock that have, or
have been exposed to, certain diseases.
Johne’s disease, also known as
paratuberculosis, is caused by
Mycobacterium avium subspecies
paratuberculosis and primarily affects
cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic,
exotic, and wild ruminants. The disease
is a chronic and contagious enteritis that

7631
results in progressive wasting and
eventual death. It is nearly always
introduced into a healthy herd by an
infected animal that is not showing
symptoms of the disease.
The regulations in 9 CFR, chapter I,
subchapter C, govern the interstate
movement of animals to prevent the
dissemination of livestock and poultry
diseases in the United States.
Subchapter C, part 71, contains general
provisions for the interstate movement
of animals, poultry, and their products,
while part 80 pertains specifically to the
interstate movement of domestic
animals that are positive to an official
test for Johne’s disease. These
regulations provide that cattle, sheep,
goats, and other domestic animals that
are positive to an official test for Johne’s
disease may generally be moved
interstate only to a recognized
slaughtering establishment or to an
approved livestock facility for sale to
such an establishment. They may also
be moved for purposes other than
slaughter under certain conditions.
APHIS previously supplemented
these regulations with standards
outlined in the document, ‘‘Uniform
Program Standards for the Voluntary
Bovine Johne’s Disease Control
Program’’ (VBJDCP). However, in 2012,
APHIS discontinued the VBJDCP and
States began conducting their own
Johne’s disease monitoring programs
and using their own forms rather than
those required by APHIS and previously
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under OMB control
number 0579–0338. As a result, APHIS
has revised the information collection
activities for the Johne’s disease
program to only require a USDA–APHIS
VS Permit for Movement of Restricted
Animals (VS Form 1–27) and official ear
tags.
Due to the reduction in the number of
forms required by APHIS, the estimated
annual number of respondents has
decreased from 9,125 to 3, the estimated
annual number of responses has
decreased from 66,105 to 6, and the
estimated total annual burden on
respondents has decreased from 38,187
hours to 3 hours.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities, as described, 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
