Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Swine Health Protection.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0065.
Summary Of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 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 AHPA is contained in Title X,
Subtitle E, Sections 10401–18 of P.O.
107–171, May 13, 2002, the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act of
2002. Veterinary Services, a program
with the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), is
responsible for administering
regulations intended to prevent the
dissemination of animal diseases within
the United States. Garbage is one of the
primary media through which
numerous infections or communicable
diseases of swine are transmitted.
Because of the serious threat to the U.S.
swine industry, Congress passed Public
Law 96–468 ‘‘Swine Health Protection
Act’’ on October 17, 1980. This law
requires USDA to ensure that all garbage
is treated prior to its being fed to swine
that are intended for interstate or foreign
commerce or that substantially affect
such commerce. The Act and the
regulations will allow only operators of
garbage treatment facilities, which meet
certain specification to utilize garbage
for swine feeding. APHIS will use
various forms to collect information.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS collects information from
persons desiring to obtain a permit
(license) to operate a facility to treat
garbage. Prior to issuance of a license,
an inspection will be made of the
facility by an authorized representative
to determine if it meets all requirements
of the regulations. Periodic inspections
will be made to determine if licenses are
meeting the standards for operation of
their approved facilities. Upon receipt
of the information from the Animal
Health Officials, the information is used
by Federal or State animal health
personnel to determine whether the
waste collector is feeding garbage to

swine, whether it is being treated, and
whether the feeder is licensed or needs
to be licensed.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Live Swine, Pork,
and Pork Products from Certain Regions
Free of CSF in Chile, Mexico and Brazil.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0230.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 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
pest or diseases of livestock or poultry.
The regulations under which the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) conduct disease
prevention activities are contained in
Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Parts
94, place certain restrictions on the
importation of swine, pork, and pork
products into the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to ensue
regulatory compliance for mitigation of
classical swine fever (CFS) from imports
of swine, pork, and pork products into
the United States. One requirement is
completion of a certificate issued by a
salaried veterinary officer of the
Governments of Mexico, Chile and/or
Brazil that must accompany swine,
pork, and pork products from their
respective regions. Other requirements
are a compliance agreement that is
required by the operators of the
processing establishment located in a
non-CSF free region that processes pork
products from CSF free regions and a
cooperative service agreement that is
required by the processing
establishment located in a non-CSF free
region that processes pork products
from CSF free regions, or a party on its
behalf, must enter into a cooperative
service agreement with APHIS to pay all
expenses incurred by APHIS for the
initial evaluation of the processing
establishment and periodically
thereafter. If the information was not
collected APHIS would be unable to
establish an effective defense against the
entry and spread of CSF from Mexican,

Chilean, and Brazilian swine, pork, and
pork product imports. This would cause
serious health consequences from U.S.
swine and economic consequences for
the U.S. pork industry.

Title: Importation of Clementines,
Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0242.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–
7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. The
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through
319.56–58) prohibit or restrict the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world, to prevent the introduction
and dissemination of plant pests,
including fruit flies that are new to or
not widely distributed within the
United States. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) fruits
and vegetables regulations allow the
importation, under certain conditions,
of clementines, mandarins, and
tangerines from Chile into the United
States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS requires that some plants or
plant products are accompanied by a
phytosanitary inspection certificate that
is completed by plant health officials in
the originating or transiting country.
APHIS will use the information on this
certificate to determine the pest
condition of the shipment at the time of
inspection in the foreign country. This
information is used as a guide to the
intensity of the inspection that APHIS
must conduct when the shipment
arrives. Without the information, all
shipments would need to be inspected
very thoroughly, thereby requiring
considerable more time, this would
slow the clearance of international
shipments.
