SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Veterinary Services
Laboratories Request Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0430.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.)
provides the Secretary of Agriculture
broad authority to prohibit or restrict,
through orders and regulations, the
importation or entry of any animal,
article, or means of conveyance if the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
determines that the prohibition or
restriction is necessary to prevent the
introduction or spread of any pest or
disease of livestock within the United
States. Disease prevention is the most
effective method for maintaining a
healthy animal population.
As an element of the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
disease prevention mission, the
National Veterinary Services
Laboratories (NVSL) safeguard U.S.
animal health by ensuring that timely
and accurate laboratory support is
provided through a nationwide animal

health diagnostic system. NVSL’s work
necessitates the use of several
information collection activities
including requests for reagents or
supplies, NVSL contact information
updates, NVSL applications for
laboratory training, and the ability to
order NVSL laboratory kits and
instruments.
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 0.25 hours per
response.
Respondents: Domestic and foreign
diagnostic laboratories (Federal, State,
university, or private), researchers
(academia, private, government), and
private veterinary practitioners.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 970.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 4.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 4,079.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,013 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.
