Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 112 / Monday, June 14, 2021 / Notices
authorized to protect the health of
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture
populations in the United States by
preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and for eradicating
such diseases within the United States
when feasible. This authority has been
delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
In connection with this mission,
APHIS operates the National Animal
Health Monitoring System (NAHMS),
which collects on a national basis
statistically valid and scientifically
sound data on the prevalence and
economic importance of livestock
poultry and aquaculture disease risk
factors. NAHMS’ studies have evolved
into a collaborative government and
industry initiative to help determine the
most effective means of preventing and
controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS
is the only Federal agency responsible
for collecting data on livestock.
Participation in any NAHMS study is
voluntary and all data are confidential.
APHIS plans to conduct a Bison 2022
Study to obtain information about the
livestock population and to provide a
foundation for possible future studies.
The objectives of the study are to:
• Describe status and changes in the
U.S. bison industry from 2014 to 2022,
including operation characteristics
(such as inventory, size, and type),
production purposes, and marketing
practices.
• Describe current U.S. bison
industry production practices and
challenges, including animal
management and welfare, nutrition and
range management, and environmental
stewardship.
• Describe health management and
biosecurity practices on U.S. bison
operations.
• Describe producer-reported
occurrence of select health problems,
associated management practices or
actions, and causes of bison mortality.
The study will consist of two
collection phases. The first phase
consists of a producer informed consent
form and a self-administered paper or
electronic survey administered by
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS). The second, biologics
phase, includes a microbe collection
record, two fecal parasite collection
records, and a forage collection record,
each documenting biologic samples
collected and submitted by producers
who choose to participate in the second
phase to receive biologic results from
their herds. All producers in the study
will receive a study evaluation upon
conclusion of the study. The
information collected will be used by

APHIS to describe current bison health
and management practices, help
policymakers and industry make
informed decisions, help researchers
and private enterprise identify and
focus on vital issues related to bison
health and productivity, facilitate the
education of future producers and
veterinarians, and conduct economic
analyses of the health and production of
the U.S. bison industry.
On March 20, 2012, NAHMS was
recognized by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) as a statistical unit
under the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (CIPSEA). All information
acquired under the Bison 2022 Study’s
NASS phase will be used for statistical
purposes only and will be treated as
confidential in accordance with CIPSEA
guidelines. Only NAHMS staff and
designated agents will be permitted
access to individual-level data. The
biologics phase of the study will not be
collected under CIPSEA, rather will be
protected as Confidential Business
Information as defined in 19 CFR 201.6.
Respondent information will be
protected by ensuring that no
identifying information is linked to the
data.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities, as described, for 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 1.25 hours per
response.
Respondents: Bison owners and
producers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2,000.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.5.

Estimated annual number of
responses: 2,994.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 3,741 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 9th day of
June 2021.
