potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: NAHMS Swine 2020 Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0315.
Summary of Collection: Collection
and dissemination of animal health data
and information is mandated by 7
U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of
1884, which established the precursor of
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services,
the Bureau of Animal Industry. Legal
requirements for examining and
reporting on animal disease control
methods were further mandated by 7
U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health
Protection Act, ‘‘Detection, Control, and
Eradication of Diseases and Pests,’’ May
13, 2002. This collection of swine data
is consistent with the APHIS mission of
protecting and improving American
agriculture’s productivity and
competitiveness.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected through the Swine
2020 study will be analyzed, interpreted
and disseminated to a wide variety of
constituents. APHIS will use the data
collected from the study to: (1) Predict
or detect national and regional trends in
disease emergence and movement such
as the prevalence of clinical signs of
Coronavirus, Seneca Valley Virus,
respiratory, and enteric disease in pigs,
(2) Provide factual information on
housing, marketing and movements for
smaller swine operations, (3) Update
national and regional production
measures for the producer, veterinary,
and industry reference, (4) Provide
factual information on antimicrobial
resistance among isolates obtained from
feces, and (5) Provide assistance to
researchers and the industry in
evaluating the utility and accuracy of
newer pathogen collection methods
such as ropes to test saliva. Without this
current study, APHIS would be unable
to continue the trends analysis that
began with the Swine 2007 and 2012
studies that various parts of the industry
as well as many federal and state
partners have come to rely on.
