Animal & Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Poultry Meat and
Other Poultry Products from Sinaloa
and Sonora, Mexico
OMB Control Number: 0579–0144.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002 (Title X,
Subtitle E, Sec. 10401–18 of Pub. L.
107–171) is the primary Federal law
governing the protection of animal
health. Disease prevention is the most
effective method for maintaining a
healthy animal population and for
enhancing the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary
Services’ ability to allow United States
animal producers to compete in the
world market of animal and animal
product trade APHIS currently has
regulations in place that restrict the
importation of poultry meat and other
poultry products from Mexico due to
the presence of Newcastle Disease (ND)
in that country. However, APHIS allows
the importation of poultry meat and
poultry products from the Mexican
States of Sinaloa and Sonora because
APHIS has determined that poultry
meat and products from these two
Mexican States pose a negligible risk of
introducing ND into the United States.
To ensure that these items are safe for
importation, APHIS requires that certain
data appear on the foreign meat
inspection certificate that accompanies
the poultry meat and other poultry
products from Sinaloa and Sonora to the
United States. APHIS also requires that
serial numbered seals be applied to
containers carrying the poultry meat
and other poultry products.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to certify
that the poultry meat or other poultry
products were (1) derived from poultry
born and raised in commercial breeding
establishments in Sinaloa and Sonora;
(2) derived from poultry that were
slaughtered in Sinaloa or Sonora in a
Federally-inspected slaughter plant
approved to export these commodities
to the United States in accordance with
Food Safety & Inspection regulations; (3)
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
processed at a Federally inspected
processing plant in Sinaloa or Sonora;
and (4) kept out of contact with poultry
from any other State within Mexico.
APHIS will also collect information to
ensure that the poultry meat or poultry
products from Sinaloa and Sonora pose
the most negligible risk possible for
introducing ND into the United States.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Fresh Pitaya
Fruit from Central America into the
Continental United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0378.
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 ‘‘Subpart-Fruit and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319 56–71), 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 that are
not widely distributed within the
United States. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
allows the importation of fresh pitaya
fruit from Central America into the
continental United States.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service uses the following activities to
collect information: Production Site
Certification, Review and Maintain
Documents, Registration of
Packinghouses, Bilateral Workplan,
Records of Fruit Fly Detections and
Update Records, Shipping Documents
Identifying the Places of Production,
Phytosanitary Certificate with
Additional Declaration, Production Site
Registration, and Box Markings. If the
information is not collected, APHIS’
ability to protect the United States from
exotic insect pest would be severely
compromised.

Summary of Collection: Under the
Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C.
8301 et.seq.), the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is
authorized to among other things,
administer the National Poultry
Improvement Plan (NPIP or the Plan),
the primary purpose of which is to
protect the health of the U.S. poultry
population. NPIP is a voluntary FederalState-industry cooperative program for
the improvement of poultry flocks and
products through disease control
techniques. The NPIP regulations are
contained in 9 CFR parts 56, 145, 146
and 147.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information using
several forms to continually improve the
health of the U.S. poultry population
and the quality of U.S. poultry products.

Title: Control of Chronic Wasting
Disease.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0189.
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, and
eradicate pests or diseases of livestock
or poultry, and to pay claims arising
from destruction of animals. Disease
prevention is the most effective method
for maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) ability to complete in exporting
animals and animal products. Chronic
wasting disease (CWD) is a
transmissible spongiform
encephalopathy (TSE) of elk, deer and
moose typified by chronic weight loss
leading to death. The presence of CWD
disease in cervids causes significant
economic and market losses to U.S.
producers. In an effort to accelerate the
control and limit the spread of this
disease in the United States, APHIS
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:05 Feb 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
created a cooperative, voluntary
Federal-State-private sector CWD Herd
Certification Program designed to
identify farmed or captive herds
infected with CWD and provided for the
management of these herds in a way
that reduces the risk of spreading CWD.
APHIS is combining 0579–0237 into
this information collection (0579–0189)
and will retire 0579–0237 upon the
approval of this renewal of 0579–0189.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information from
owners of elk, deer, and moose herds
who choose to participate in the CWD
Herd Certification program. They would
need to follow program requirements for
animal identification, testing, herd
management, and movement of animals
into and from herds. APHIS also
established requirements for the
interstate movement of cervids to
prevent movement of elk, deer, and
moose that pose a risk of spreading
CWD. Carrying out this program will
entail the use of several information
collection activities: Memoranda of
understandings; participation requests/
applications; sample collections and lab
submissions; herd records; cervid
identification; reports of cervid
disappearances, escapes, and deaths;
herd plans; annual reports; consistent
State reviews; epidemiological
investigations; appraisal, destruction,
and payment of indemnity; letter to
appeal suspension; Interstate
Certificates of Veterinary Inspection
(ICVI); and wild cervid ICVI, and
surveillance data. Failure to collect this
information would cripple APHIS’
ability to effectively sustain its CWD
control program.
