Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by January 13, 2021 

will be considered. Written comments 

and recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the

Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Black Stem Rust; Identification 

Requirements and Addition of RustResistant Varieties. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0186. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701—et 

seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to prohibit or restrict the 

importation, entry, or movement of 

plants and plant products to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. Black stem 

rust is one of the most destructive plant 

diseases of small grains that are known 

to exist in the United States. The disease 

is caused by a fungus that reduces the 

quality and yield of infected wheat, oat, 

barley, and rye crops by robbing host 

plants of food and water. The fungus is 

spread from host to host by windborne 

spores. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to 

prevent the spread of black stem rust by 

providing for and requiring the accurate 

identification of rust-resistant varieties 

by inspectors. When a business request 

APHIS to add a variety to the list of rustresistant barberries, it need to provide 

APHIS with a written description and 

color pictures that can be used by the 

State nursery inspectors to clearly 

identify the variety and distinguish it 

from other varieties. This action enables 

nurseries to move the species into and 

through protected areas and to 

propagate and sell the species in States 

or parts of States designated as 

protected areas. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for profit; State, Local, and 

Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 2. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 16.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Live Swine, Pork 

and Pork Products, and Swine Semen 

from the European Union. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0218. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
80762 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 240 / Monday, December 14, 2020 / Notices 

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 AHPA is contained in Title X, 

Subtitle E, Sections 10401–18 of Public 

Law 107–171, dated May 13, 2002, the 

Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 

of 2002. Disease prevention is the most 

effective method to maintain a healthy 

animal population and for enhancing 

the United States’ ability to compete in 

the world market of animal and animal 

product trade. The Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

regulates the importation of animals and 

animal products into the United States 

to guard against the introduction of 

animal diseases not present or prevalent 

here. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information using an 

Application for Import or in Transit 

Permit, concerning the origin and 

history of the items destined for 

importation into the United States. 

APHIS will also collect information to 

ensure that swine, pork and pork 

products, and swine semen pose a 

negligible risk of introducing exotic 

swine diseases into the United States. A 

Declaration of Importation form is also 

used to collection information in this 

collection. Collecting this information 

less frequently or failing to collect it 

would increase the chances of CSF and 

other swine diseases being introduced 

into the United States. 

Description of Respondents: Foreign 

Federal Governments and Businesses. 

Number of Respondents: 194.
