Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Animal Welfare.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0036.
Summary of Collection: The
Laboratory Animal Welfare Act (AWA)
(Pub. L. 89–544) enacted August 24,
1966, and as amended, requires the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, (USDA), to
regulate the humane care and handling
of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters,
rabbits, and nonhuman primates. This
legislation was the result of extensive
demand by organized animal welfare
groups and private citizens requesting a
Federal law covering the transportation,
care, and handling of laboratory
animals. The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), Animal
Care (AC) has the responsibility to
enforce the AWA (7 U.S.C. 2131–2156)
and the provisions of 9 CFR, Subchapter
A, which implements the AWA. The
purpose of the AWA is to ensure that
animals used in research facilities or for
exhibition purposes are provided
humane care and treatment. The AWA
assures the humane treatment of
animals during transportation in
commerce and protects the owners from
the theft of their animals by preventing
the sale or use of animals that were
stolen. APHIS will collect information
using several forms of burden.
In addition, APHIS is merging 0579–
0361 and 0579–0392 into this
information collection, 0579–0036.
Upon the approval of this information
collection, APHIS will retire 0579–0361
and 0579–0392.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect health certificates,
program of veterinary care, application
for license and record of acquisition,
disposition and transportation of
animals, and itineraries, among other
things. The information is used to
ensure dealers, exhibitors, research
facilities, carriers, etc., are in
compliance with the AWA and
regulations and standards promulgated
under this authority of the Act.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Poultry and Pork Products from
Mexico Transiting the United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0145.
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 Animal & Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is the Agency
charged with carrying out the disease
prevention mission. This Agency
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States
to guard against the introduction of
exotic animal diseases. Disease
prevention is the most effective method
for maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the United
States’ ability to compete in exporting
animals and animal products. The
regulations under which APHIS
conducts disease prevention activities
are contained in Title 9, Chapter D,
parts 91 through 99 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to
ensure that fresh pork and pork
products, as well as poultry carcasses,
parts, and products transiting the
United States from Mexico pose a
negligible risk of introducing classical
swine fever and END into the United
States. APHIS will also collect the name
and address of the exporter, the origin
and destination points of the
commodities, how much and what type
of commodity will be transiting; the
intended port of entry, the date of
transportation, the method and route of
shipment, and other information
concerning the transiting project that
will enable APHIS to determine whether
any disease introduction risk is
associated with the transit and if so,
what risk mitigation measures will be
necessary to minimize that risk.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Pale Cyst Nematode; Quarantine
and Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0322.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–
7772), The Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, or movement of
plants and plant pests to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. The Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) amended the ‘‘Domestic
Quarantine Notices’’ in 7 CFR part 301,
subpart titled ‘‘Potato Cyst Nematode’’
(§ .86 through 301.86.9, referred to as
the regulations) by quarantining parts of
Bingham and Bonneville Counties, ID,
due to the discovery of the Potato Cyst
Nematode there and establishing
restrictions on the interstate movement
of regulated articles from the
quarantined area.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information using
certificates, limited permits and
compliance agreements to prevent the
spread of PCN and to ensure that
regulated articles can be moved safely
from the quarantined area without
spreading PCN. If APHIS did not collect
this information, the spread of PCN in
the United States could result in a loss
of domestic or foreign makers for U.S.
potatoes and other commodities.

Business or other for-profit.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Mangoes from
Australia.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0391.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (PPA) (7 U.S.C
7701—et seq.), 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’’ (Title
7, CFR 319.56) prohibit or restrict the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the U.S. from certain parts of the world.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is responsible for
carrying out these duties. APHIS has
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
amended the fruits and vegetables
regulations to allow, under certain
conditions, the importation into the U.S.
of commercial consignments of fresh
mangoes from Australia.
Need and Use of the Information:
Conditions for the importation of fresh
mangoes from Australia include
requirements for pest exclusion at the
production site, irradiation treatment,
fruit fly trapping inside and outside the
production site, pest-excluding
packinghouse procedures, port-of-entry
inspections and accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
National Plant Protection Organization
of Australia with an additional
declaration confirming that the mangoes
have been produced in accordance with
the requirements. APHIS will use this
information to allow the importation of
commercial consignments of fresh
mangoes from Australia into the United
States. Failing to collect this
information would cripple APHIS
ability to ensure that mangoes from
Australia are not carrying plant pests.
