when feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS’ Veterinary Services
(VS) program provides vital animal
disease training to State, Tribal,
international, university, and industry
personnel.
Individuals who wish to attend
animal disease-related training must
submit a Nomination Request Form (VS
Form 1–5) to VS to help the program
coordinate courses and select
participants. VS develops rosters with
course participants’ names and contact
information to notify them of future
training courses and to encourage
contact among participants throughout
their careers.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 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
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.33 hours per
response.
Respondents: State, Tribal,
international, university, and industry
personnel.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 350.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 350.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 116 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
