Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Equine 2015 Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0269.
Type of Request: Reinstatement 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 protect the health of
U.S. livestock and poultry populations
by preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and by eradicating
such diseases from the United States
when feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS operates the National
Animal Health Monitoring System
(NAHMS), which collects nationally
representative, statistically valid, and
scientifically sound data on the
prevalence and economic importance of
livestock diseases and associated risk
factors.
NAHMS’ national studies are a
collaborative industry and Government
initiative to help determine the most
effective means of preventing and
controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS
is the only agency responsible for
collecting national data on livestock
health. Participation in any NAHMS
study is voluntary.

APHIS plans to conduct an Equine
2015 Study as part of an ongoing series
of NAHMS studies on the U.S. livestock
population. The purpose of this study is
to:
• Describe trends in equine care and
health management for study years
1998, 2005, and 2015;
• Estimate the occurrence of ownerreported lameness and describe
practices associated with the
management of lameness;
• Describe health and management
practices associated with important
equine infectious diseases;
• Describe animal health related costs
of equine ownership;
• Evaluate control practices for
gastrointestinal parasites;
• Evaluate horses for presence of ticks
and describe tick-control practices used
on equine operations; and
• Collect equine sera along with
equine demographic information in
order to create a serum bank for future
studies.
The Equine 2015 Study will consist of
on-farm questionnaires and a biological
collection administered by National
Agricultural Statistics Service
enumerators and APHIS-designated data
collectors. States are selected for
participation based on the number of
operations with equids and on the equid
inventory. The goal is to include States
that, combined, account for at least 70
percent of the operations and inventory
in the United States. For each State, a
weighted average of operations and
inventory is calculated, with inventory
weighted slightly higher. Generally,
States with at least 2 percent of the U.S.
total weighted average are selected to
participate in the survey. States may
also be included based on industry
interest or for geographic representation.
The information collected will be
used to:
• Direct future equine industry
education;
• Allow equine owners and managers
to compare their health management
practices and disease prevalence in their
equids with national and regional
estimates;
• Identify research needs;
• Describe trends in equine health
and management over time; and
• Provide baseline information to
assist with policy development.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 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, such as electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.906 hours per response.
Respondents: Equine owners, equine
farm managers, and equine trainers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 18,446.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 18,446.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 16,712 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.

Sea turtles can become accidentally
entangled in active or discarded fishing
gear, marine debris, or other lines in the
marine environment. These
entanglements may prevent the recovery
of endangered and threatened sea turtle
populations. NOAA’s Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) established the Sea
Turtle Disentanglement Network in
response to the threat of entanglement,
in particular in the vertical line of fixed
gear fisheries. The Network’s goals are
to increase reporting and to reduce sea
turtle serious injury and mortality
associated with these events. As there is
limited to no observer coverage of pot
gear fisheries, NMFS relies on the
Network, the United States Coast Guard
(USCG), the fishing industry, Federal,
state, and local authorities, and the
public for this information, which helps
NMFS understand the threats to sea
turtle populations in the Northeast
Region (Maine to Virginia).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
