Food and Nutrition Service
Title: The Integrity Program (TIP) Data
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0401.
Summary of Collection: This is a
request for extension, without revision,
to an existing collection. The Women,
Infant, and Children (WIC) Program
regulations at 7 CFR 246.12(j)(5),
requires State agencies to report
annually on their vendor monitoring
efforts. The data collected is used by
States agencies as a management tool
and at the national level to provide
Congress, senior FNS officials, as well
as the general public, assurances that
every reasonable effort is being made to
ensure integrity in the WIC Program.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will
collect information using forms FNS
698, Profile of Integrity Practices and
Procedures; FNS 699, the Integrity
Profile Report Form; and FNS 700, TIP
Data Entry Form. The collected
information from the forms will be
analyzed and a report is prepared by
FNS annually that (1) assesses State
agency progress in eliminating abusive
vendors, (2) assesses the level of activity
that is being directed to ensure program
integrity, and (3) analyzes trends over a
5-year period. The information is used
at the national level in formulating
program policy and regulations. At the
FNS regional office level, the data is
reviewed to identify possible vendor
management deficiencies so that
technical assistance can be provided to
States, as needed. Without the
information, FNS would not have timely
and accurate data needed to identify

and correct State agency vendor
management and monitoring

Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Interstate Movement of Sheep
and Goats; Recordkeeping for Approved
Livestock Marketing Facilities and
Slaughtering and Rendering
Establishments.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0258.
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.
Disease surveillance and prevention is
the most effective method for
maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the ability of
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) to help U.S. producers

compete in the world market of animal
and animal product trade. The
Veterinary Services (VS) program of
APHIS is the unit responsible for
carrying out the disease prevention
mission. One of the APHIS disease
eradication programs addresses scrapie.
Scrapie is a progressive, degenerative,
and eventually fatal disease affecting the
central nervous system of sheep and
goats. APHIS’ regulations 9 CFR 71.20
and 9 CFR 71.21 regarding the
movement of livestock to require
approved livestock auction market
facilities, slaughtering establishments,
and rendering establishments to
maintain certain records for 5 years (2
years if the records regard only swine or
poultry).
APHIS is merging the information
collection 0579–0342, Recordkeeping
for Approved Livestock Facilities,
Slaughtering, and Rendering
Establishments, into this package 0579–
0258. These collections include the
same regulations; therefore, it will be
more efficient to have them
consolidated into one collection.
Collection 0579–0342 will be
discontinued once this collection is
approved.
Need and Use of the Information: In
order for APHIS’ Disease prevention
program to be effective, its animal
identification, recordkeeping, and other
requirements must be carried out at
livestock facilities that handle livestock
and poultry moving in interstate
commerce. The individual legally
responsible for the day-to-day operation
of the facility must execute an Approval
of Livestock Facilities Agreement with
APHIS. The information restricts the
interstate movement of livestock within
the United States to control diseases of
concern and approve livestock facilities
and slaughtering and rendering
establishments that handle livestock
moving in interstate commerce.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 234.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 604.
