SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Johne’s Disease in Domestic Animals. OMB Control Number: 0579–0338. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: Under the authority of the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 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. Disease prevention is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy animal population and for enhancing APHIS’ ability to compete in the world market of animal and animal product trade. Johne’s disease affects cattle, sheep, goats, and other ruminants. It is an incurable and contagious disease that results in progressive wasting and eventual death. The disease is nearly always introduced into a healthy herd by an infected animal that is not showing symptoms of the disease. The regulations in 9 CFR part 80 pertain specifically to the interstate movement of domestic animals that are positive to an official test for Johne’s disease. These regulations provide that cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals that are positive to an official test for Johne’s disease may generally be moved interstate only to a recognized slaughtering establishment or to an approved livestock facility for sale to such an establishment. However, they may also be moved for purposes other than slaughter under certain conditions. Moving Johne’s-positive livestock interstate for slaughter or for other purposes without increasing the risk of disease spread requires a movement permit or an owner-shipper statement, official ear tags, and a permission to move request. Permission may also be sought, in writing, for movement of animals that do not have a permit, owner-shipper statement, or ear tags. We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities 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: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Apr 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 (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 0.69 hours per response. Respondents: Accredited veterinarians, herd owners, and livestock shippers. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 6. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 2. Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 10. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 7 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Johne's Disease in Domestic Animals.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0338.
    Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information 
collection.
    Abstract: Under the authority of the Animal Health Protection Act 
(7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 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.
    Disease prevention is the most effective method for maintaining a 
healthy animal population and for enhancing APHIS' ability to compete 
in the world market of animal and animal product trade. Johne's disease 
affects cattle, sheep, goats, and other ruminants. It is an incurable 
and contagious disease that results in progressive wasting and eventual 
death. The disease is nearly always introduced into a healthy herd by 
an infected animal that is not showing symptoms of the disease.
    The regulations in 9 CFR part 80 pertain specifically to the 
interstate movement of domestic animals that are positive to an 
official test for Johne's disease. These regulations provide that 
cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals that are positive to 
an official test for Johne's disease may generally be moved interstate 
only to a recognized slaughtering establishment or to an approved 
livestock facility for sale to such an establishment. However, they may 
also be moved for purposes other than slaughter under certain 
conditions. Moving Johne's-positive livestock interstate for slaughter 
or for other purposes without increasing the risk of disease spread 
requires a movement permit or an owner-shipper statement, official ear 
tags, and a permission to move request. Permission may also be sought, 
in writing, for movement of animals that do not have a permit, owner-
shipper statement, or ear tags.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities 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 0.69 hours per response.
    Respondents: Accredited veterinarians, herd owners, and livestock 
shippers.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 6.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 10.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 7 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 4th day of April 2023.
Michael Watson,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
