SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Live Swine
(From Certain Regions), Pork, and Pork
Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0230.
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 United States
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.
The regulations for the importation of
animals and animal products are
contained in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98.
Part 94 allows the importation, under
certain conditions, of live swine, pork,
and pork products from regions that are
free of classical swine fever (CSF) to
prevent the introduction of CSF into the
United States. Brazil (the State of Santa
Catarina only), Chile, and Mexico are
subject to additional restrictions in
accordance with § 94.32. APHIS
recognizes these regions as free of CSF
but restricts importation of live swine,
pork, and pork products from these
regions because they either supplement
their pork supplies by importing fresh
(chilled or frozen) pork from CSFaffected regions, supplement their pork
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
supplies with pork from CSF-affected
regions that is not processed in
accordance with the requirements in
part 94, share a common land border
with CSF-affected regions, or import
live swine from such regions under
conditions less restrictive than would be
acceptable for importation into the
United States.
To ensure that the importation of live
swine, pork, and pork products,
particularly from Brazil (the State of
Santa Catarina only), Chile, and Mexico
do not introduce CSF into the United
States, the regulations include
information collection activities such as
certification for importation of pork or
pork products; application of seal;
location and reason for breaking seal
and application of new seal; termination
of agreement; request for approval of
defrost facility; request hearing for
denial or approval of defrost facility;
application for import of small amounts
of pork or pork products; cooperative
service agreement; notification of
Customs and Border Protection
inspectors for pork from specific
regions; recordkeeping requirements for
certificates; certificates for meat
processed in tubes; certification for
importation of hams; agreement for
processing procedures; identification
procedures; recordkeeping for
processing origin of hams; and program
statements.
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 1 hour per
response.
Respondents: Full-time, salaried
veterinary officers employed by the
governments of Brazil, Chile, and
Mexico; industry representatives; and
U.S. importers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 781.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 230.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 179,679.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 179,712 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 25th day of
January 2023.

Abstract: The purpose of the
Increasing Land, Capital, and Market
Access Program is to fund projects that
support a diverse set of farmers,
ranchers, and forest landowners
(producers) on the edge financially;
moving them from surviving to thriving
as they address core barriers to attain
land, capital, and market access. The
Increasing Land, Capital, and Market
Access Program will fund cooperative
agreements or grants for projects that are
designed to align with and respond to
land, capital, and market access needs
of the underserved farmers, ranchers,
and forest landowners while
concurrently providing wraparound
technical assistance to ensure that
program participants have the
information, training, and customized
support they require. FSA will make
awards through grants.gov and will be
collecting the initial report, and
progress reports quarterly and annually.
Applicants, if selected for funding, are
required to provide within 4 weeks after
signing the grant or cooperative
agreement, specific information related
to target audience, work plan, approach
activities and identified metrics and
measures aligning with the delivery of
work plan activities (initial report); and
submit quarterly reports of project
activities (progress report) every 90 days

improvements, and impact on
underserved producers’ business and
financial conditions;
5. Anticipated outcomes including the
estimated number of underserved
producers who will have increased
access to land, capital, and markets
(including new markets);
6. How many underserved producers
will be able to retain land or acquire
new land; and
7. How many underserved producers
are seeking and participating in USDA
Farm Service Agency farm programs
and farm loan programs, Natural
Resources Conservation Service
programs, Risk Management Agency
Federal crop insurance, Rural
Development loans, or grant programs
or any other programs and services
administered by USDA.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hours is the estimated average
time per responses, in hours, multiplied
by the estimated total annual responses.
