SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Importation of Live Swine, Pork and Pork Products, and Swine Semen From the European Union. OMB Control Number: 0579–0218. 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 U.S. Department of Agriculture, among other things, has the authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The Secretary may also prohibit or restrict the import or export of any animal or related material if necessary to prevent the spread of any livestock or poultry pest or disease. 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. In connection with its disease prevention mission, APHIS regulates the importation of animals and animal products into the United States to guard against the introduction of animal diseases not present or prevalent in the United States. The regulations in 9 CFR parts 93, 94, and 98, prohibit or restrict the importation of specified animals, germplasm, and animal products to prevent the introduction of diseases such as classical swine fever (CSF), footand-mouth disease, swine vesicular disease, and African swine fever. In part 93, subpart E, among other things, provides importation requirements for live swine. Sections 94.2, 94.4, 94.8, PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 94.9, and 94.12 through 94.14 deal with the importation of pork and pork products from regions where these diseases exist. Section 94.10 addresses the requirements for the importation of live swine from regions where CSF exists. Section 94.13 concerns restrictions on the importation of pork or pork products from specified regions. Section 98.38 defines APHIS’ requirements for the importation of swine semen. APHIS determined that breeding swine, pork and pork products, and swine germplasm imported from specific regions of the European Union (EU) in accordance with other APHIS import requirements, pose a low risk of introducing foreign animal diseases into the United States. To further ensure that CSF is not introduced into the United States, regulations in parts 93, 94, and 98 allow, under specified conditions, the importation of live swine, pork and pork products, and swine germplasm from the APHIS-defined EU CSF region. These requirements necessitate the use of several information collection activities, including certification statements for the importation of pork, pork products, live swine, and swine germplasm. 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 0.96 hours per response. Respondents: Foreign animal health officials and importers of live swine, pork and pork products, and swine semen. E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM 29JNN1
