Agency Information Collection 

Activities; OMB Approval Received 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, this notice 

announces the Office of Management 

and Budget’s approval of a collection of 

information contained in the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service’s 

final rule regarding the possession, use, 

and transfer of select agents and toxins. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information on select agents and toxins, 

contact Mr. Charles L. Divan, Acting 

Director, APHIS Agriculture Select 

Agent Program, APHIS, 4700 River Road 

Unit 2, Riverdale, MD 20737–1231; 

(301) 851–3300, option 1. For copies of 

more detailed information on the 

information collection, contact Mrs. 

Celeste Sickles, APHIS’ Information 

Collection Coordinator, at (301) 851–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 5, 2012, we published in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 61056–61081, 

Docket No. APHIS–2009–0070) a final 

rule 1 that amended and republished the 

list of select agents and toxins that have 

the potential to pose a severe threat to 

animal or plant health, or to animal or 

plant products; reorganized the list of 

select agents and toxins based on the 

relative potential of each select agent or 

toxin to be misused to adversely affect 

human, plant, or animal health; and 

amended the regulations in order to add 

definitions and clarify language 

concerning security, training, biosafety, 

biocontainment, and incident response. 

Because of changes made in the final 

rule in response to comments or for 

other reasons, some of those provisions 

included information collection 

requirements that differed from those 

originally submitted for approval to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) in conjunction with the 

proposed rule, which was published in 

the Federal Register on October 3, 2011 

(76 FR 61228–61244, Docket No. 

APHIS–2009–0070). OMB requested 

that we combine those most recent 

information collection requirements 

with the existing information collection 

requirements associated with the 

existing select agent regulations at 7 

CFR part 331 and 9 CFR part 121. 

In accordance with section 3507(d) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), OMB has 

approved the information collection 

requirements associated with the select 

agent regulations as amended by our 

October 2012 final rule under OMB 

control number 0579–0213 (expires 

November 30, 2015). 

Done in Washington, DC, this 11th day of 

February 2013.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
