    Title: National Animal Health Monitoring System; Bison 2022 Study.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0420.
    Summary of Collection: Collection and dissemination of animal 
health data and information is mandated by 7 U.S.C. 391, the Animal 
Industry Act of 1884, which established the precursor of the Animal and 
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services, the 
Bureau of Animal Industry. Legal requirements for examining and 
reporting on animal disease control methods were further mandated by 7 
U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health Protection Act, ``Detection, Control, 
and Eradication of Diseases and Pests,'' May 13, 2002. This collection 
of bison data is consistent with the APHIS mission of protecting and 
improving American agriculture's productivity and competitiveness.
    In connection with this mission, the NAHMS program includes 
periodic national commodity studies to investigate current issues and 
examine general productivity, health, and management practices used on 
farms and their economic impact. These non-regulatory, voluntary 
studies are driven by industry and stakeholder interest.

antimicrobial resistance among isolates obtained from feces, and on

ability to respond to domestic and international trade issues involving 
the health status and production practices of the U.S. bison population 
would be severely reduced, potentially impacting the global 
marketability of animals, meat, and byproducts. Disease spread models 
would not have the necessary parameters to more accurately predict
