SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Swine Health Protection. 

OMB Number: 0579–0065. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

extension of approval 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 prohibit or restrict the 

interstate movement of animals and 

animal products to prevent the 

dissemination within the United States 

of animal diseases and pests of livestock 

and to conduct programs to detect, 

control, and eradicate pests and diseases 

of livestock. 

The Swine Health Protection Act (the 

Act) prohibits the feeding of garbage to 

swine unless the garbage has been 

treated to kill disease organisms. 

Untreated garbage is one of the primary 

media through which numerous 

infectious and communicable diseases 

can be transmitted to swine. APHIS’ 

regulations promulgated under the Act, 

which are located at 9 CFR part 166, 

require that, before garbage may be fed 

to swine, it must be treated at a facility 

holding a valid permit to treat the 

garbage and must be treated according 

to the regulations. 

APHIS requires certain information in 

order to license (issue a permit to) a 

facility to operate and in order to 

monitor the facility for compliance with 

the regulations. This information is 

collected from applications for a license 

to operate a garbage treatment facility, 

records of the destination and date of 

removal of all food waste or garbage 

from the treatment facility, and food 

waste reports. With this information, we 

are able to carefully monitor garbage 

treatment facilities to ensure that they 

are meeting our requirements. We are 

revising the current collection by adding 

an activity for tracking of cancellation of 

licenses by licensees and no longer 

requiring licensees to acknowledge 

receipt of the Act and regulations. The 

information provided by the combined 

activities is critical in preventing the 

interstate spread of various swine 

diseases and, therefore, plays a vital role 

in our swine health protection program. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities 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 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.8802 hours per response. 

Respondents: Owners/operators 

(licensees) of garbage treatment 

facilities, State animal health 

authorities, and herd owners. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1,715. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 7.5009. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 12,864. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 11,323 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Interstate Movement of Sheep 

and Goats. 

OMB Number: 0579–0258. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval 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 prohibit or restrict the 

interstate movement of animals and 

animal products to prevent the 

dissemination within the United States 

of animal diseases and pests of livestock 

and to conduct programs to detect, 

control, and eradicate pests and diseases 

of livestock. 

Scrapie is a progressive, degenerative, 

and eventually fatal disease affecting the 

nervous system of sheep and goats. Its 

control is complicated because the 

disease has an extremely long 

incubation period without clinical signs 

of disease and no known treatment. 

APHIS regulations in 9 CFR part 71 

restrict the interstate movement of 

sheep and goats to control the spread of 

scrapie and include provisions for 

livestock facilities that handle sheep or 

goats in interstate commerce to be 

approved by APHIS. These 

requirements are intended to ensure that 

such facilities are constructed and 

operated in a manner that will help 

prevent the spread of scrapie and 

involve information collection 

activities, including an Approval of 

Livestock and Facilities Agreement and 

recordkeeping. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of

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 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.52667 hours per response. 

Respondents: Owners of livestock 

facilities that handle sheep and goats 

moving interstate; State animal health 

officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 200. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2.25. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 450. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 237 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

for OMB approval. All comments will
