SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: APHIS Student Outreach
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0362.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS’)
Student Outreach Program is designed
to help students learn about careers in
animal science, veterinary medicine,
plant pathology, and agribusiness. The
program allows participants to live on a
college campus and learn about
agricultural science and agribusiness
from university professors, practicing
veterinarians, and professionals working
for the U.S. Government.
The Student Outreach Program is
designed to enrich students’ lives while
they are still in their formative years.
APHIS’ investment in the Student
Outreach Program not only exposes
students to careers in APHIS, it also
gives APHIS’ employees the opportunity
to meet and invest in APHIS’ future
workforce. Students chosen to
participate in the Student Outreach
Program will gain experience through
hands-on labs, workshops, and field
trips. Students will also participate in
character and team building activities
and diversity workshops. Two programs
currently in the Student Outreach
Program are AgDiscovery and the
Safeguarding Natural Heritage Program:
Strengthening Navajo Youth
Connections to the Land.
To participate in these programs,
students and their parents must submit
essays, letters of recommendation, and
application packages. These
submissions are reviewed and rated by
officials to select the participants. In
addition, cooperative agreements are
used to facilitate the partnerships
between APHIS and the participating
universities to carry out these programs.
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
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 5.62 hours per
response.
Respondents: Individuals and public
and private universities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,126.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,126.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 6,330 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.

Title: National Animal Health
Reporting System (NAHRS).
OMB Control Number: 0579–0299.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation and interstate movement of
animals and other articles to prevent the
introduction and interstate spread of
livestock diseases and to eradicate such
diseases from the United States when
feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS operates the National
Animal Health Reporting System
(NAHRS), which collects, on a national
basis, data monthly from State
veterinarians on the presence or absence
of diseases of interest to the World
Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
As a member country of OIE, the
United States must submit reports to the
OIE on the status of certain diseases in
specific livestock, poultry, and
aquaculture species. Reportable diseases
are diseases that have the potential for
rapid spread, irrespective of national
borders, that are of serious
socioeconomic or public health
consequence, and that are of major
importance in the international trade of
animals and animal products. The
potential benefits to trade of accurate
reporting on the health status of the U.S.
commercial livestock, poultry, and
aquaculture industries include
expansion of those industries into new
export markets, and preservation of
existing markets through increased
confidence in quality and disease
freedom. This data collection is unique
in terms of the type, quantity, and
frequency; no other entity is collecting
and reporting data to the OIE on the
health status of U.S. livestock, poultry,
and aquaculture.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve these information collection
activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
