SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Control of Chronic Wasting
Disease.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0189.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to protect the health of the
United States’ livestock and poultry
populations by preventing the
introduction and interstate spread of
serious diseases and pests of livestock
and for eradicating such diseases from
the United States when feasible.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a
transmissible spongiform
encephalopathy of cervids (elk, deer,
and moose) typified by chronic weight
loss leading to death. The presence of
CWD in cervids causes significant
economic and market losses to U.S.
producers. In an effort to control and
limit the spread of this disease in the
United States, APHIS created a
cooperative, voluntary Federal-Stateprivate sector CWD Herd Certification
Program designed to identify farmed or
captive herds infected with CWD. The
program is designed to identify farmed
or captive herds infected with CWD and
provide for the management of these
herds in a way that will reduce the risk
of spreading CWD. APHIS’ Veterinary
Services manages the CWD Herd
Certification Program.

Jkt 253001
Owners of farmed or captive elk, deer,
and moose herds who choose to
participate in the Herd Certification
Program need to follow program
requirements for animal identification,
testing, herd management, and
movement of animals into and from
herds. The regulations for this program
are in 9 CFR part 55. Part 55 also
contains the regulations that authorize
the payment of indemnity for the
voluntary depopulation of CWDpositive, CWD-exposed, or CWD-suspect
captive cervids. APHIS also established
requirements in 9 CFR part 81 for the
interstate movement of deer, elk, and
moose to prevent movement that could
pose a risk of spreading CWD.
The Herd Certification Program and
the indemnity program entail the use of
information collection activities such as
an APHIS Veterinary Services appraisal
and indemnity claim form; sample
collections and laboratory submissions,
testing, and reporting; APHIS Veterinary
Services State application for chronic
wasting disease herd certification
program approval, renewal, or
reinstatement; memoranda of
understanding between APHIS and
participating States; herd or premises
plans; annual reports; State reviews;
epidemiological investigations and
reporting of out-of-State traces to
affected States; reports of cervid
suspects, escapes, disappearances, and
deaths; inspections and inventories; a
letter to appeal suspension,
cancellation, or change in status;
farmed, captive, and wild cervid
identification; interstate certificates of
veterinary inspection; surveillance data;
inspection reports; cooperative
agreements; laboratory worksheets; 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 4 hours per
response.
Respondents: State animal health
officials, laboratories, accredited
veterinarians, and businesses managing
farmed, captured, or wild cervid herds.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 9,053.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 9.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 78,128.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 322,546 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.

March 2021.
