Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Collaboration in Animal Health, 

Food Safety, and Epidemiology 

(CAHFSE) Swine Study. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Collaboration in Animal and Health and 

Food Safety Epidemiology (CAHFSE) 

Swine Study, is a joint effort among 

three agencies within the Department of 

Agriculture: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS); the 

Agricultural Research Service (ARS); 

and the Food Safety and Inspection 

Service (FSIS). The mission of this 

surveillance effort is twofold: to 

enhance overall understanding of 

bacteria that pose a food-safety risk by 

tracking these bacteria on-farm and 

through the harvesting process, over 

time; and to provide a means to 

routinely monitor critical diseases in 

food-animal production. To accomplish 

this mission, APHIS collects on-farm 

samples, FSIS collects slaughter plant 

data from plant managers, and ARS 

conducts laboratory examination of the 

samples collected on-farm or in-plant. 7 

U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of 

1884 and 21 U.S.C. 119, mandates 

collection and dissemination of animal 

and poultry health data and 

information. 

Need and Use of the Information:

APHIS will collect information using 

several forms. The collected information 

from the study will be disseminated to 

veterinary consultants/practitioners, 

industry and producers groups, and 

academia to monitor antimicrobial 

resistance and to identify problem areas 

in health management and feeding 

practices, which contribute to disease 

transmission. Without CAHFSE, the 

U.S.’s ability to detect trends in 

management, production, and the 

impact they have on animal health and 

food safety either directly or indirectly 

would be reduced or nonexistent. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Individuals or households; Federal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 530. 

Frequency of Responses:

Recordkeeping; reporting: on occasion; 

quarterly; monthly. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,502.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(5 U.S.C. App.), notice is hereby given 

that the U.S. Department of Agriculture

amenity interests, and state and local 

government. 

The Black Hills National Forest 

Advisory Board has been determined to 

be in the public interest in connection 

with the duties and responsibilities of 

the Black Hills National Forest. National 

forest management requires improved 

coordination among the interests and 

governmental entities responsible for 

land management decisions and the 

public that the agency serves. The Board 

consists of 15 members that represent 

the following interests (this membership 

closely follows the membership 

outlined by the Secure Rural Schools 

and Community Self Determination Act 

for Resource Advisory Committees (16 

U.S.C. 500, et seq.)): 

1. Economic development. 

2. Developed outdoor recreation, offhighway vehicle users, or commercial 

recreation. 

3. Energy and mineral development. 

4. Commercial timber industry. 

5. Permittee (grazing or other land use 

within the Black Hills area). 

6. Nationally recognized 

environmental organizations. 

7. Regionally or locally recognized 

environmental organizations. 

8. Dispersed recreation. 

9. Archeology or history. 

10. Nationally or regionally 

recognized sportsmen’s groups, such as 

anglers or hunters. 

11. South Dakota elected office. 

12. Wyoming elected office. 

13. South Dakota or Wyoming 

county—or local-elected official. 

14. Tribal government elected or 

appointed official. 

15. South Dakota or Wyoming state 

natural resource agency official. 

The Board members determine chair 

responsibility. The Forest Supervisor of 

the Black Hills National Forest serves as 

the designated Federal official under 

sections 10(e) and (f) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. 

App.). 

The Black Hills National Forest 

provides notices as needed of additional 

actions that will be taken to complete 

the Board’s function. 

Equal opportunity practices are 

followed in all appointments to 

advisory committees. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the Board have 

been taken into account the needs of 

diverse groups the Black Hills National 

Forest serves, membership will include 

to the extent practicable individuals 

with demonstrated ability to represent 

monitories, women, and persons with 

disabilities.
