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. The export of agricultural
commodities, including animals and
animal products, is a major business in
the United States and contributes to a
favorable balance of trade. As part of its
mission to facilitate the export of U.S.
animals and products, APHIS’
Veterinary Services maintains
information regarding the import health
requirements of other countries for
animals and animal products exported
from the United States.
Among other things, to ensure a
favorable balance of trade, APHIS uses
information collection activities, such as
U.S. Origin Health Certificates; U.S.
Origin Health Certificates for the Export
of Horses from the United States to
Canada; Health Certificates for the
Export of Live Finfish, Mollusks, and
Crustaceans (and their Gametes);
Country Specific Health Certificates;
United States Interstate and
International Certificate of Health
Examination for Small Animals
(Exporters); Inspection and Certification
for Animal Products; Undue Hardship
Explanations-Animals; Applications for
Approval of Inspection FacilityEnvironmental Certification; Annual
Inspections of Export Inspection
Facilities; Opportunities to Present
Views Concerning Withdrawal of
Facility Approval; Certifications to
Carry Livestock; Inspections of Vessel
Prior to Voyage; Notarized Statements;
Aircraft Cleaning and Disinfection; and
Travel Time.
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 1.05 hours per
response.
Respondents: Owners and operators
of livestock facilities/exporters,
accredited veterinarians, and owners or
masters of an ocean vessel.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,320.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 372.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 491,678.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 516,556 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.
