Abstract: Under the Animal Health

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to prohibit or restrict the
importation and interstate movement of
animals and animal products to prevent
the introduction into and dissemination
within the United States of livestock
diseases and pests. To carry out this
mission, APHIS regulates the
importation of animals and animal
products into the United States based on
the regulations in 9 CFR parts 92
through 98.
The regulations in part 93 require,
among other things, that certain
animals, as a condition of entry, be

States. APHIS operates animal

quarantine facilities and also authorizes
the use of quarantine facilities that are
privately owned and operated for
certain animal importations.
The regulations in subpart C of part
93 pertain to the importation of horses
and include requirements for privately
owned quarantine facilities for horses.
For permanent, privately owned
quarantine facilities, these requirements
entail certain information collection
activities, including environmental
certification, application for facility
approval, service agreements, requests
to APHIS concerning withdrawal of
facility approval, notification to APHIS
of facility closure, memoranda of
understanding (compliance agreements),
security instructions, alarm notification,
notification of security breaches, lists of
personnel, signed statements,
authorized access affidavits, daily logs
and recordkeeping, requests for
variance, and standard operating
procedures.
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 0.684 hours per
response.
Respondents: Applicants who apply
for facility approval; owners and
operators of permanent, privately
owned horse quarantine facilities;
facility employees; authorities who
issue and complete environmental
certifications; and employees of security
companies.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 17.

annually per
respondent
organization to establish and maintain
an information clearinghouse (named
‘‘USDA National Hunger
Clearinghouse’’ or ‘‘Clearinghouse’’) for
groups that assist low-income
individuals or communities regarding
nutrition assistance programs or other
assistance. Section 26(d) of this Act was
amended again by Public Law 113–79
on May 20, 2021 to extend funding for
the Clearinghouse through fiscal year
2022 for $250,000. FNS awarded this
contract to the hunger advocacy
organization Hunger Free America on
May 1, 2019.
The Clearinghouse includes a
database of non-governmental,
grassroots organizations in the areas of
hunger and nutrition, along with a
mailing list to communicate with these
organizations. These organizations enter
their information into the database, and
Clearinghouse staff use that information
to provide the public with information
about where they can get food
assistance. Surveys (FNS–543) will be
completed online at
www.hungerfreeamerica.org.
Information from past collections will
be used as an estimate for future data
collection for fiscal year 2021. From this
information collection, the following
information was determined:
Affected Public: Respondent groups
identified include (1) Food banks—Not
for Profit, (2) Business or Other ForProfits, and (3) Other Not For Profit.
Most of these groups are organizations
providing nutrition assistance services
to the public.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
600.
Estimated Number of Responses per

The regulations in part 93 require, among other things, that
certain animals, as a condition of entry, be quarantined upon arrival
in the United States. APHIS operates animal quarantine facilities and
also authorizes the use of quarantine facilities that are privately
owned and operated for certain animal importations.
The regulations in subpart C of part 93 pertain to the importation
of horses and include requirements for privately owned quarantine
facilities for horses. For permanent, privately owned quarantine
facilities, these requirements entail certain information collection
activities, including environmental certification, application for
facility approval, service agreements, requests to APHIS concerning
withdrawal of facility approval, notification to APHIS of facility
closure, memoranda of understanding (compliance agreements), security
instructions, alarm notification, notification of security breaches,

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

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated,

Estimate of burden: The public burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.684 hours per response.
Respondents: Applicants who apply for facility approval; owners and
operators of permanent, privately owned horse quarantine facilities;
facility employees; authorities who issue and complete environmental
certifications; and employees of security companies.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 17.
