Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 2014 / Notices
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
The regulations in 9 CFR parts 71 and
85 facilitate the pseudorabies (PRV)
eradication program and general swine
health by providing requirements for
moving swine interstate within a
production system. (A production
system consists of separate farms that
each specialize in a different phase of
swine production such as sow herds,
nursery herds, and finishing herds.
These separate farms, all members of the
same production system, may be located
in more than one State.) APHIS will
collect information using several APHIS
forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information on the
number of swine being moved in a
particular shipment, the shipment’s
point of origin, the shipment’s
destination, and the reason for the
interstate movement. The documents
used to gather the necessary information
include: (1) The Permit of Move
Restricted Animals (VS Form 1–27); (2)
the certificate of veterinary inspection;
(3) an owner-shipper statement; (4) the
accredited veterinarian’s statement
concerning embryos for implantation
and semen shipments; (5) a swine
production system health plan; (6) an
interstate movement report and
notification; and (7) the completion and
recordkeeping of a Quarterly Report of
Pseudorabies Control Eradication
Activities (VS Form 7–1). The
documents provide APHIS with critical
information concerning a shipment’s
history, which in turn enables APHIS to
engage in swift, successful trackback
investigation when infected swine are
discovered. PRV is further controlled
through depopulation and indemnity
using an Appraisal and Indemnity
Claim Form (VS Form 1–23), herd
management plan, movement permit
and report of net salvage proceeds.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Horses,
Ruminants, Swine, and Dogs; Inspection
and Treatment for Screwworm.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0165.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:40 Mar 26, 2014
Jkt 232001
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) conduct disease
prevention activities are contained in
Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Parts
91 through 99. These regulations govern
the importation of animals, birds and
poultry, certain animal and poultry
products, and animal germplasm.
APHIS regulations ensure that horses,
ruminants, swine, and dogs imported
into the United States from regions of
the world where screwworm is known
to exist to be inspected and, if
necessary, treated for infestation with
screwworm.
Screwworm is a pest native to tropical
areas of South America, the Indian
subcontinent, Southeast Asia, tropical
and sub-Saharan Africa, and the
Arabian Peninsula that causes extensive
damage to livestock and other warmblooded animals.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS requires the following
documents to import horses, ruminants,
swine, and dogs from regions where
screwworm is known to exist: (1) An
application for import or in-transit
permit (VS 17–129); and (2) the health
certificate. For the Application of
Import the importer must describe the
type, number, and identification of the
animals or products to be exported. The
origin, intended date and location of
arrival, routes of travel, and destination
of the animals or products must be
listed on the application. The permit
can only be used for the animals listed
on the application. Horses, ruminants,
swine, and dogs entering the United
States from regions where screwworm is
known to exist must be accompanied by
a certificate, signed by a full-time
salaried veterinary official of the
exporting country, stating that these
animals have been thoroughly
examined, that they have been treated
with ivermectin, that any visible
wounds have been treated with
coumaphos, and the animals appear to
be free of screwworm.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Federal Government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Evaluation of the Pilot Project
for Canned, Frozen, or Dried Fruits and
Vegetables in the Fresh Fruit and
Vegetable Program (FFVP).
Form Number: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584—NEW.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: The Fresh Fruit and
Vegetable Program (FFVP) is intended to
improve overall diet quality by teaching
children more healthful eating habits.
The FFVP began as a pilot project in
four states pursuant to provisions of the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act
of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–171). Schools
selected to participate in the FFVP are
reimbursed for providing free fresh
fruits and vegetables to students during
the school day, outside of normal school
breakfast and lunch meals. Under
Section 4304 of the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–
246), the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act (NSLA) was amended
to authorize the expansion of the FFVP
to selected schools nationwide,
including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the
Virgin Islands. This was accomplished
by incorporating the FFVP into its own
section in the NSLA, Section 19, 42
U.S.C. 1770. The Agricultural Act of
2014, Section 4214, instructed the
Secretary of Agriculture to carry out a
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:40 Mar 26, 2014
Jkt 232001
pilot project in schools participating in
FFVP in a minimum of five States to
evaluate the impact of allowing schools
to offer canned, frozen, or dried fruits
and vegetables as part of FFVP for
School Year 2014–2015. As part of the
authorizing legislation, the Secretary
was tasked in Section 4214(c) with
conducting an evaluation of the pilot.
The legislation states:
‘‘1. The impacts on fruit and vegetable
consumption at the schools participating in
the pilot project;
2. The impacts of the pilot project on
school participation in the Program and
operation of the Program;
3. The implementation strategies used by
the schools participating in the pilot project;
4. The acceptance of the pilot project by
key stakeholders; and
5. Such other outcomes as are determined
by the Secretary.’’
The evaluation of the pilot project has
two main objectives: (1) To examine
how the pilot project is implemented,
and (2) to estimate program impacts on
participating students. To address these
objectives, FNS has specified the
following research categories for the
evaluation:
1. Description of participating
schools.
2. Description of participating
children.
3. Description of the pilot project
implementation.
4. Examine impacts of the pilot
project on school environment.
5. Examine program impacts on
children including consumption of
different types of fruits and vegetables,
consumption of other foods, nutritional
status and attitudes towards fresh fruits
and vegetables.
To evaluate program impacts on
participating students, data will be
collected from approximately 6,144
PO 00000

students in grades 4–6 in 100 public
elementary schools in 5 States as well
as parents, teachers, school food service
managers and principals.
Affected Public: State, Local and
Tribal Agency, individuals and
households.
Type of Respondents: State Child
Nutrition (CN) Directors, Directors of
School Food Authorities (SFAs), School
Principals, School food service
managers, Teachers, Students (grades 4,
5 and 6), and Parents of sampled
students.

Respondents: 17,510.
Frequency of Response: State CN
Directors will be asked to participate in
two web surveys. State CN Directors in
the impact sample will be asked to pull
administrative twice. SFA Directors and
Principals will each participate in one
web survey. School food service
managers will be interviewed in person
two times on sample days for
information about foods served in the
pilot project and school meals (School
Breakfast Program and National School
Lunch Program) on those days. Teachers
and parents of sampled students will
each complete one short questionnaire.
Sampled students will all participate in
an individual dietary recall which may
be assisted by a one-day food diary. A
subsample of the students will complete
a second dietary recall on a
nonconsecutive day, which may be
assisted by a one-day food diary.
Estimated Annual Responses: 17,754.
Estimate of Time per Respondent and
Annual Burden: About 30 minutes (0.48
hours). The estimated time of response
varies from 3 to 65 minutes depending
on respondent group, as shown in table
below. The total annual burden is
7,933.7 hours.

The evaluation of the pilot project has two main objectives: (1) To
examine how the pilot project is implemented, and (2) to estimate
program impacts on participating students. To address these objectives,
FNS has specified the following research categories for the evaluation:
1. Description of participating schools.
2. Description of participating children.
3. Description of the pilot project implementation.
4. Examine impacts of the pilot project on school environment.
5. Examine program impacts on children including consumption of
different types of fruits and vegetables, consumption of other foods,
nutritional status and attitudes towards fresh fruits and vegetables.
To evaluate program impacts on participating students, data will be
collected from approximately 6,144 students in grades 4-6 in 100 public
elementary schools in 5 States as well as parents, teachers, school
food service managers and principals.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Agency, individuals and
households.
Type of Respondents: State Child Nutrition (CN) Directors,
Directors of School Food Authorities (SFAs), School Principals, School
food service managers, Teachers, Students (grades 4, 5 and 6), and
Parents of sampled students.
Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 17,510.
Frequency of Response: State CN Directors will be asked to
participate in two web surveys. State CN Directors in the impact sample
will be asked to pull administrative twice. SFA Directors and
Principals will each participate in one web survey. School food service
managers will be interviewed in person two times on sample days for
information about foods served in the pilot project and school meals
(School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program) on those
days. Teachers and parents of sampled students will each complete one
short questionnaire. Sampled students will all participate in an
individual dietary recall which may be assisted by a one-day food
diary. A subsample of the students will complete a second dietary
recall on a nonconsecutive day, which may be assisted by a one-day food
diary.
Estimated Annual Responses: 17,754.
Estimate of Time per Respondent and Annual Burden: About 30 minutes
(0.48 hours). The estimated time of response varies from 3 to 65
minutes depending on respondent group, as shown in table below. The
total annual burden is 7,933.7 hours.
