DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

July 9, 2021.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding; 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by August 
13, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: On Farm Monitoring of Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in 
U.S. Broiler Production.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-New.
    Summary of Collection: 7 U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of 
1884, directs USDA to collect and disseminate animal health data and 
information. 7 U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health Protection Act, 
``Detection, Control, and Eradication of Diseases and Pests,'' May 13, 
2002, further directs USDA to examine and report on animal disease 
control methods. APHIS's mission is to protect and improve American 
agriculture's productivity and competitiveness. Realizing this mission 
relies, in large part, on collecting, analyzing, and disseminating 
livestock and poultry health information.
    APHIS is making this submission to initiate the National Animal 
Health Monitoring System's (NAHMS') On-farm Monitoring of Antimicrobial 
Use and Resistance in U.S. Broiler Production study. This study is an 
information collection conducted by APHIS through a cooperative 
agreement with the University of Minnesota. This longitudinal study 
will monitor U.S. broiler chicken operations for antimicrobial use 
(AMU), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), animal health and production 
practices, and the relationship between them and changes over time.
    Need and Use of the Information: This study provides U.S. poultry 
producers and animal health professionals information about the 
relationship between AMU, AMR, animal health and production, and 
changes in each over time. This information is essential for 
effectively responding to the global health threat posed to animals and 
humans of increasing antimicrobial resistance. APHIS will use NAHMS 470 
and NAHMS 471 to collect the information for the study. Without this 
survey, APHIS will have limited information by which to make decisions 
related to AMU and AMR as they relate to the U.S. poultry industry.
    Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 30.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; On occasion; Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 866.
