Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Title: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI); Testing, Surveillance, and Reporting of HPAI in Livestock; Dairy Herd Certification. OMB Control Number: 0579–0494. Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 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 Secretary may also prohibit or restrict import or export of any animal or related material if required to prevent the spread of any livestock or poultry pest or disease. Part of the mission of APHIS’ Veterinary Services (VS) business unit is preventing foreign animal disease outbreaks in the United States, and monitoring, controlling, and eliminating a disease outbreak should one occur. High Path Aviation Influenza (HPAI) is a contagious viral disease of domestic poultry and wild birds, and is deadly to domestic poultry, wiping out entire flocks within a matter of days. It has now been detected in dairy cattle. In April 2024, APHIS published a Federal Order to assist with limiting the spread of H5N1 in dairy cattle. Need and Use of the Information: The Federal Order requires testing lactating dairy cattle prior to interstate movement and mandatory reporting from laboratories of positive Influenza A cases in livestock. It also requires infected dairy cattle premises to not move lactating dairy cattle interstate for 30 days and to provide epidemiological information, including animal movement tracing, via a questionnaire. Other data collection requirements include inspections and sampling, implementation of biosecurity plans, State response and containment plans, and support agreements. APHIS is working with State and industry partners to encourage farmers and veterinarians to report cattle illnesses quickly so that APHIS can monitor new cases and minimize the impact to farmers, consumers, and other animals.
