SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Equine Herpesvirus
Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0399.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
approved 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 (USDA) 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 for 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’ epidemiologic investigations
are a collaborative industry and
government initiative to help determine
the most effective means of preventing
and controlling livestock disease
outbreaks. APHIS is the only agency
responsible for collecting data on
livestock health. Participation in any
NAHMS study is voluntary, and all data
are confidential.

APHIS conducts an equine
herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy
(EHM) study as part of an ongoing series
of NAHMS studies on the U.S. livestock
population. The purpose of this study is
to collect information using
questionnaires to identify risk factors for
EHM, the neurologic form of equine
herpesvirus (EHV–1) in horses. EHV–1
is an infection of horses that can cause
respiratory disease, abortion in mares,
neonatal foal death, and/or neurologic
disease. The virus can spread through
direct horse-to-horse contact, through
the air in equine environments, and on
contaminated equipment, clothing, and
hands. EHM is endemic to the United
States and outbreaks are usually
handled by the States affected; USDA
becomes involved in cases involving
multiple States or interstate movement
of horses.
In person or by telephone interview,
APHIS-designated data collectors will
administer questionnaires to horse
owners and trainers of horses infected
with EHV–1 during outbreaks that
include cases of EHM and horses that
are noninfected to serve as case
controls. The information collected is
used to understand the risk factors for
EHM, make recommendations for
disease control, and provide guidance
on the best ways to avoid future
outbreaks based on a thorough analysis
of the data.
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; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.79
hours per response.

currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
GSM–102 program is to expand U.S.
agricultural exports by making available
export credit guarantees to encourage
U.S. private sector financing of foreign
purchases of U.S. agricultural
commodities on credit terms. The CCC
currently has programs operating in at
least 144 countries and regions with 167
exporters eligible to participate. Under 7

and U.S. banks are required to submit
the following: (1) Information about the
exporter, foreign banks, and U.S. banks
for program participation; (2)
applications for payment guarantees; (3)
notices of assignment; (4) repurchase
agreements; (5) information regarding
the actual export of the commodity
(evidence of export report); (6) notice of
default and claims for loss; and (7)
appeals. In addition, each exporter and
exporter’s assignee (U.S. financial
institution) must maintain records on all
information submitted to CCC and in
connection with sales made under the
GSM–102 program. The information
collected is used by CCC to manage,
plan, evaluate, and account for
government resources. The reports and
records are required to ensure the
proper and judicious use of public
funds.
Estimate of Burden: The public
reporting burden for these collections is
estimated to average 0.38 hours per
response.
