Summary
.............................................................................
§ 51.2486 U.S. No. 1 Color ..............................
‘‘U.S. No. 1 Color’’ consists of carrots which
meet the requirements of U.S. No. 1 except
for fairly well colored. All roots must show
good characteristic color, which means the
root has a uniform characteristic color for
the variety over practically the entire surface. Roots may be comingled with varieties of different colors, provided roots are
of the same type.
§ 51.2487 U.S. Commercial .............................
U.S. No. 1 Color grade is added to accommodate other colors. The U.S. No. 1 Color
grade is identical to the U.S. No. 1 grade,
except for the color requirement. The new
grade ensures all grades are premium quality, provides greater flexibility, and brings
the standards in line with current marketing
trends.
§ 51.2486 U.S. Commercial ...............................
§ 51.2487 Unclassified .......................................
‘‘Unclassified’’ consists of carrots which have
not been classified in accordance with either
of the foregoing grades. The term ‘‘unclassified’’ is not a grade within the meaning of
these standards, but is provided as a designation to show that no grade has been applied to the lot.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy; Importation of
Animals and Animal Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0393.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to, among other things, prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products into or through the United
States to prevent the introduction and
dissemination of animal diseases and
pests.
To guard against the introduction of
animal diseases, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
The regulations in 9 CFR parts 92, 93,
94, 95, and 96 govern the importation of
certain animals, birds, poultry, meat,
and other animal products and
byproducts into the United States to
prevent the introduction of various
animal diseases, including bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a
chronic degenerative disease that affects
the central nervous system of cattle.
Section 92.5 of the regulations
provides that all countries of the world
are considered by APHIS to be in one
of three BSE risk categories: Negligible
risk, controlled risk, or undetermined
risk. These risk categories are defined in
§ 92.1. Any region that is not classified
by APHIS as presenting either negligible
risk or controlled risk for BSE is
considered to present an undetermined
risk. Under the regulations, APHIS may
classify a region for BSE in one of two
ways. One way is for countries that have
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37823
not received a risk classification from
the World Organization for Animal
Health (OIE) to request classification by
APHIS. The other way is for APHIS to
concur with the classification given to a
country by the OIE.
To ensure BSE is not introduced into
the United States, the regulations place
specific conditions on the importation
of animals and animal products. These
requirements necessitate the use of
several information collection activities,
including, but not limited to,
certifications, official identification,
request for and retention of
classification as negligible or controlled
risk, declarations of importation, import
and export certificates, applications,
import and movement permits,
agreements, certification statements,
seals, notifications, and recordkeeping.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, 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 0.55 hours per
response.
Respondents: Shippers, U.S.
importers of regulated animal products,
herd owners, salaried veterinarians of
foreign regions, foreign exporters of
processed animal protein and other
regulated materials and products,
accredited veterinarians, slaughter
facility managers, and educators and
researchers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2,225.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 239.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 532,451.
