help prevent the spread of scrapie
within the United States. APHIS has
regulations at 9 CFR part 54 for an
indemnity program to compensate
owners of sheep and goats destroyed
because of scrapie.
Need and Use of the Information: The
regulations necessitate the use of a
number of information collection
activities including, but not limited to,
applications for participation in the
Scrapie Flock Certification Program;
various plans for infected and source
flocks; scrapie test records; application
for indemnity payments; certificates;
permits; and applications for APHISapproved eartags, backtags, or tattoos,
etc. Without this information, APHIS’
efforts to more aggressively prevent the
spread of scrapie would be severely
hindered.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Not for Profit; and
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 174,851.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 828,878.
Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Environmental Monitoring
Form.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0117.
Summary of Collection: The mission
of the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) is to provide
leadership in ensuring the health and
care of animals and plants, to improve
the agricultural productivity and
competitiveness, and to contribute to
the national economy and the public
health. The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq., and the regulations of the Council
on Environmental Quality implement
the procedural aspects of NEPA (40 CFR
1500–1508). APHIS’ regulations require
APHIS to implement environmental
monitoring for certain activities
conducted for pest and disease, control
and eradication programs. APHIS Form
2060, Environmental Monitoring Form,
will be used to collect information
concerning the effects of pesticide used
in sensitive habitats.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information on the
number of collected samples,
description of the samples, the
environmental conditions at the
collection site including wind speed
and direction, temperature, and
topography. The supporting information
contained on the APHIS form 2060 is
vital for interpreting the laboratory tests
APHIS conducts on its collected
samples. If a sample was not
accompanied by this form, APHIS
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:24 Oct 20, 2023
Jkt 262001
would have no way of knowing from
which site the sample was taken.
Failure to collect this information
would prevent APHIS from actively
monitoring the effects of pesticides in
areas where the inappropriate use of
these chemicals could eventually
produce disastrous results for
vulnerable habitats and species. If
information is not collected frequently
enough, APHIS’ ability to effectively
monitor chemical residues in the
environment is compromised.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local or Tribal Government; Business or
other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 11.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 6.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Beef and Ovine
Meat from Uruguay and Beef from
Argentina and Brazil.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0372.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 (7
U.S.C. 8301), is the primary Federal law
governing the protection of animal
health. The law gives the Secretary of
Agriculture broad authority to detect,
control, or eradicate pests or diseases of
livestock or poultry. The agency charged
with carrying out this disease
prevention mission is the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS). Disease prevention is the most
effective method for maintaining a
healthy animal population and
enhancing APHIS’ ability to compete
globally in animal and animal product
trade. APHIS import regulations in
sections 9 CFR 94.1, 9 CFR 94.11, and
9 CFR 94.29 place certain restrictions on
the importation of beef and ovine meat
from Uruguay into the United States.
APHIS must collect information,
prepared by an authorized certified
official of the Government of Uruguay,
certifying that specific conditions for
importation have been met.
Need and Use of the Information:
Imports of fresh beef and beef products
from northern Argentina and from
specific regions in Brazil must be
accompanied by a foreign meat
inspection certificate that is completed
and signed by an authorized veterinary
official of the Governments of Uruguay,
Argentina, and Brazil. Without the
information, APHIS would be unable to
establish an effective defense against the
entry and spread of foot-and-mouth
disease and other animal diseases from
Uruguay beef and ovine product imports
as well as imports of beef and beef
products from Argentina and Brazil.
