Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Nomination Request Form; Animal Disease Training.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0353.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act 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, eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS') Veterinary Services 
(VS) is responsible for administering regulations intended to prevent 
the introduction of animal diseases into the United States. VS 
Professional Development Branch (PDS) provides vital training to 
private veterinarians and State, Tribal, Industry, and university 
personnel which prepare them for animal disease response. To determine 
the need and demand for such courses, PDS must collect information from 
individuals who wish to attend training events facilitated by PDS.
    Need and Use of the Information: VS collects information using VS 
Form 1-5 from private veterinarians as well as State, Tribal, military, 
international, university, and industry personnel who want to attend 
PDS animal disease training. PDS requires the applicants' work 
addresses, work telephone numbers, work email addresses, agency/
organization affiliations, supervisors' names and email addresses, and 
job titles. PDS uses this information to produce participant rosters 
after participants select courses and during training to encourage 
ongoing working relationships between course participants. Applicants 
submit the completed form (Web-based) before the PDS course date. The 
appropriate APHIS official selects applicants based on the need in 
their respective States for such trained personnel. VS Form 1-5 is 
subsequently sent to a PDS Program Specialist for processing.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 350.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 116.
