Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing
Act (AMA) of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621 et
seq.) directs the Department to develop
programs which will provide for and
facilitate the marketing of agricultural
products. One of these programs is the
USDA voluntary inspection and grading
program for dairy products, its
regulations are contained in (7 CFR part
58). The regulations governing the
certification of sanitary design and
fabrication of equipment used in the
slaughter, processing, and packaging of
livestock and poultry products are
contained in (7 CFR part 54). To ensure
that a voluntary inspection program
performs satisfactorily, there must be
written requirements and rules for both
Government and industry. The
information requested is used to
identify the products offered for
grading; to identify a request from a
manufacturer of equipment used in
dairy, meat or poultry industries for
evaluation regarding sanitary design and
construction; to identify and contact the
party responsible for payment of the
inspection, grading or equipment
evaluation fee and expense; and to
identify applicants who wish to be
authorized for the display of official
identification on product packaging,
materials, equipment, utensils, or on
descriptive promotional materials.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .0.170 hours per
response.
Respondents: Dairy product
manufacturers, consultants, installers,
dairy equipment fabricators and meat

proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Service
Title: Animal Disease Traceability.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0327.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C.
8301–8317) 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. As part of its
ongoing efforts to safeguard animal
health, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) developed
the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT)
framework which continues to be a
partnership involving APHIS, States,
Tribes, and industry to provide a system

for animal traceability. Traceability
helps document the movement history
of an animal throughout its life,
including during an emergency
response or for ongoing animal disease
programs.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses information provided by
businesses, States, and Tribal Nations to
facilitate animal disease traceability and
support disease control, eradication,
and surveillance activities. Some of the
information collection activities
include: Applications for use of more
than official identification device;
applications for and approval of tagging
sites; evaluation of States and Tribes;
documentation of completion of
performance measures; commuter herd
agreements; collection of identification
devices at slaughter; obtaining official
eartags; application of State shields;
official identification device
distribution records; certification of
veterinary inspection; unauthorized
removal or loss of official identification
devices; reporting retagging animal
records; premises identification and
updates; nonproducer participant
registration; official identification
device applications and approved
identification device manufacturer
agreements and updates; animal
identification number manager
registration, agreements, and updates;
cooperative agreements; State/Tribe
quarterly reports; animal disease
tractability road maps; eartag orders;
program site tag information; records of
tags issues and applied; coordination of
tag orders with manufacturers; reporting
loss, theft, and misuse of tags; removal
or replacement of eartags; and
recordkeeping. If this information was
not collected, APHIS’ ability to address
traceability needs would be significantly
hampered.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government;
Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 275,622.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Third-Party Disclosure;
Reporting: On occasion.
