For
information on the regulations to
prevent the introduction of bovine
spongiform encephalopathy into the
United States, contact Dr. Alexandra
MacKenzie, Senior Veterinary Medical
Officer, Veterinary Services, APHIS,
USDA, 4700 River Road, Unit 40,
Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 851–3411;
alexandra.mackenzie@usda.gov. For
information on the information
collection reporting process, contact Mr.
Joseph Moxey, APHIS’ Paperwork
Reduction Act Coordinator, at (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy; Importation of
Animals and Animal Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0393.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to, among other things, prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products into or through the United
States to prevent the introduction and
dissemination of animal diseases and
pests.
To guard against the introduction of
animal diseases, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
The regulations in 9 CFR parts 92, 93,
94, 95, and 96 govern the importation of
certain animals, birds, poultry, meat,
and other animal products and
byproducts into the United States to
prevent the introduction of various
animal diseases, including bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a
chronic degenerative disease that affects
the central nervous system of cattle.
Section 92.5 of the regulations
provides that all countries of the world
are considered by APHIS to be in one
of three BSE risk categories: Negligible
risk, controlled risk, or undetermined
risk. These risk categories are defined in
§ 92.1. Any region that is not classified
by APHIS as presenting either negligible
risk or controlled risk for BSE is
considered to present an undetermined
risk. Under the regulations, APHIS may
classify a region for BSE in one of two
ways. One way is for countries that have
not received a risk classification from
the World Organization for Animal
Health (WOAH) 1 to request
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
1 The World Organization for Animal Health
internationally follows a British English spelling of
‘‘organization’’ in its name; it was formerly the
Office International des Epizooties, or OIE, but on
May 28, 2022, the Organization announced that the
acronym was changed from OIE to WOAH.

classification by APHIS. The other way
is for APHIS to concur with the
classification given to a country by
WOAH.
To ensure BSE is not introduced into
the United States, the regulations place
specific conditions on the importation
of animals and animal products. These
requirements necessitate the use of
several information collection activities,
including, but not limited to,
certifications, official identification,
request for and retention of
classification as negligible or controlled
risk, declarations of importation, import
and export certificates, applications,
import and movement permits,
agreements, certification statements,
seals, notifications, and recordkeeping.
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 0.639 hours per
response.
Respondents: Shippers, U.S.
importers of regulated animal products,
herd owners, salaried veterinarians of
foreign regions, foreign exporters of
processed animal protein and other
regulated materials and products,
accredited veterinarians, slaughter
facility managers, and educators and
researchers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 150.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6,922.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,038,336.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 663,778 hours. (Due to
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 2nd day of
August 2023.
Michael Watson,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
