SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Emergency Management
Response System.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0071.
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
U.S. livestock and poultry populations
by preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of diseases and pests of
livestock and by eradicating such
diseases from the United States when
feasible.
The Emergency Management
Response System (EMRS) is a web-based
system that helps APHIS manage and
investigate potential incidents of foreign
animal diseases in the United States.
When a potential foreign animal
disease incident is reported, APHIS or
State animal health officials dispatch a
foreign animal disease veterinary
diagnostician to the premises of the
reported incident to conduct an
investigation. The diagnostician obtains
vital epidemiological data by
conducting field investigations,
including sample collection, and by
interviewing the owner or manager of
the premises being investigated. These
important data, submitted electronically
by the diagnostician into EMRS, include
such items as the purpose of the
diagnostician’s visit and suspected
disease, type of operation on the
premises, the number and type of
animals on the premises, the number of
sick or dead animals on the premises,
the results of physical examinations of
affected animals and necropsy
examinations, vaccination information
on the animals in the herd or flock,
biosecurity practices at the site, whether
any animals were recently moved out of
the herd or flock, whether any new
animals were recently introduced into
the herd or flock, the number and kinds
of test samples taken, and detailed
geographic data concerning the
premises location. EMRS allows these
epidemiological and diagnostic data to
be documented and transmitted more
efficiently.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
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 1 hour per
response.
Respondents: Owners or operators of
livestock and poultry facilities and State
animal health officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 158.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 156.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 24,703.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 24,703 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 2nd day of
June 2021.
