information collection title(s). Please
include your name, title, organization,
postal address telephone number, and
email address in the text of the message.
Please note that comments submitted in
response to this Notice are public
record. We recommend that you do not
submit detailed personal information,
Confidential Business Information, or
any information that is otherwise
protected from disclosure by statute.
USAID will only address comments
that explain why the proposed

ineffective, or unacceptable without a
change. Comments that are insubstantial
or outside the scope of the notice of
request for public comment may not be
considered.
respondents will submit 33,249
submissions per year. The amount of
time estimated to complete each
response varies by item.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collections: 43,943.
(8) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: $4,054,200. Note that while
the burden for these information
collections falls on the public, most of
the submissions are reimbursable either
directly or indirectly under Agency
contracts, the cost for most of these
collections falls under the federal cost
burden. Thus, the estimated total public
cost burden not reimbursed through
Agency contracts is $57,570.24.
Purpose
The U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) is authorized to
make contracts with any corporation,
international organization, or other body
of persons in or outside of the United
States in furtherance of the purposes
and within limitations of the Foreign
Assistance Act (FAA). The information
collection requirements placed on the
public are published in 48 CFR chapter
7, and include the following offeror or
contractor reporting requirements,
identified by the AIDAR section
number, as specified in the AIDAR
701.106: 752.219–8, 752.245–70,
752.245–71(c)(2), 752.247–70(c),
752.7001, 752.7002(j), 752.7003,
752.7004 and 752.7032.
The pre-award requirements are based
on a need for prudent management in
the determination that an offeror either
has or can obtain the ability to
competently manage development
assistance programs using public funds.
The requirements for information
collection during the post-award period
are based on the need to prudently
administer public funds.

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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 1st day of
March 2021.

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-State-private 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.
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

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

(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.
