SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Animal Health 

Monitoring System; Equine 2015 Study. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0269. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an 

information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is authorized, among 

other things, to protect the health of 

U.S. livestock and poultry populations 

by preventing the introduction and 

interstate spread of serious diseases and 

pests of livestock and by eradicating 

such diseases from the United States 

when feasible. In connection with this 

mission, APHIS operates the National 

Animal Health Monitoring System 

(NAHMS), which collects nationally 

representative, statistically valid, and 

scientifically sound data on the 

prevalence and economic importance of 

livestock diseases and associated risk 

factors. 

NAHMS’ national studies are a 

collaborative industry and Government 

initiative to help determine the most 

effective means of preventing and 

controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS 

is the only agency responsible for 

collecting national data on livestock 

health. Participation in any NAHMS 

study is voluntary. 

APHIS plans to conduct an Equine 

2015 Study as part of an ongoing series 

of NAHMS studies on the U.S. livestock 

population. The purpose of this study is 

to: 

• Describe trends in equine care and 

health management for study years 

1998, 2005, and 2015; 

• Estimate the occurrence of ownerreported lameness and describe 

practices associated with the 

management of lameness; 

• Describe health and management 

practices associated with important 

equine infectious diseases; 

• Describe animal health related costs 

of equine ownership; 

• Evaluate control practices for 

gastrointestinal parasites; 

• Evaluate horses for presence of ticks 

and describe tick-control practices used 

on equine operations; and 

• Collect equine sera along with 

equine demographic information in 

order to create a serum bank for future 

studies. 

The Equine 2015 Study will consist of 

on-farm questionnaires and a biological 

collection administered by National 

Agricultural Statistics Service 

enumerators and APHIS-designated data 

collectors. States are selected for 

participation based on the number of 

operations with equids and on the equid 

inventory. The goal is to include States 

that, combined, account for at least 70 

percent of the operations and inventory 

in the United States. For each State, a 

weighted average of operations and 

inventory is calculated, with inventory 

weighted slightly higher. Generally, 

States with at least 2 percent of the U.S. 

total weighted average are selected to 

participate in the survey. States may 

also be included based on industry 

interest or for geographic representation. 

The information collected will be 

used to: 

• Direct future equine industry 

education; 

• Allow equine owners and managers 

to compare their health management 

practices and disease prevalence in their 

equids with national and regional 

estimates; 

• Identify research needs; 

• Describe trends in equine health 

and management over time; and 

• Provide baseline information to 

assist with policy development. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 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;

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

(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, such as electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.906 hours per response. 

Respondents: Equine owners, equine 

farm managers, and equine trainers. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 18,446. 

Estimated annual number of

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.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Reporting of Sea Turtle 

Entanglement in Fishing Gear and 

Marine Debris. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0496. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 112. 

Average Hours per Response: Initial 

telephone calls and written reports, 1 

hour each; follow-up interviews, 30 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 163. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Sea turtles can become accidentally 

entangled in active or discarded fishing 

gear, marine debris, or other lines in the 

marine environment. These 

entanglements may prevent the recovery 

of endangered and threatened sea turtle 

populations. NOAA’s Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) established the Sea 

Turtle Disentanglement Network in 

response to the threat of entanglement, 

in particular in the vertical line of fixed 

gear fisheries. The Network’s goals are 

to increase reporting and to reduce sea 

turtle serious injury and mortality 

associated with these events. As there is 

limited to no observer coverage of pot 

gear fisheries, NMFS relies on the 

Network, the United States Coast Guard 

(USCG), the fishing industry, Federal, 

state, and local authorities, and the 

public for this information, which helps 

NMFS understand the threats to sea 

turtle populations in the Northeast 

Region (Maine to Virginia). 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow

Commerce collections currently under
