characteristics, and visitor input on 

management actions for National Park 

Wilderness. Emphasis is often on how 

well the public perceives the National 

Park Service is meeting the mandate of 

guiding legislation. National Park 

personnel use the collected information 

to ensure that the Agency is meeting 

their legislated mandates, 

understanding how visitors’ recreational 

activities influence the natural resources 

of the park, and making certain that 

wilderness-type recreation experiences 

are protected. 

Managers at Sequoia and Kings 

Canyon National Parks have requested 

assistance from the Aldo Leopold 

Wilderness Research Institute to gather, 

analyze, and report on information from 

visitors to contribute to wilderness 

stewardship planning. Sequoia and 

Kings Canyon National Parks in 

California contain 808,000 acres of 

federally protected wilderness and 

another 30,000 acres are managed as 

wilderness per National Park Service 

policies. Managers desire to understand 

visitor attitudes about administrative 

and scientific facilities in the 

wilderness, methods used to protect 

wilderness conditions and social 

conditions, actions taken by managers to 

control impacts, visitor perceptions of 

wilderness character trends, and 

demographics of visitors. The data from 

this information collection will be 

stored at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness 

Research Institute in Missoula, 

Montana. Scientists working at the 

Research Institute will conduct the data 

analysis. 

The National Park Service will use 

information from this collection to help 

make the Wilderness Stewardship Plan 

responsive to legislative and policy 

guidelines as well as acknowledging a 

changing client base of American 

citizens and foreign visitors through 

creating understanding of: 

1. How users feel about such 

administrative facilities as ranger 

stations, crew camps, and radio 

repeaters; user support facilities such as 

food storage lockers, bridges, and signs; 

research support facilities such as wells, 

plot markers, weirs and snow pillows; 

trail quality; hand held technology use, 

and short-term manipulations of 

conditions to achieve long-term 

naturalness goals; 

2. How different kinds of visitors (e.g., 

overnight users, hikers, stock users, 

outfitted, and non-outfitted groups) feel 

about the level of isolation and 

immersion in nature they perceive; how 

they evaluate encounters with others; 

and how they evaluate visitor impacts 

and management actions taken to 

control those impacts; 

3. How different kinds of users define 

the most important elements of the 

wilderness environment and social 

conditions, such as naturalness, 

wildness, challenge, self-reliance, 

crowding, and aesthetics; and 

4. How current visitor use 

characteristics, attitudes and use 

patterns differ from those observed in 

the past and at other places, and how 

they may be projected to differ in the 

future. 

Respondents will be overnight 

recreation visitors to the wilderness of 

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National 

Parks during the summers of 2011 and 

2012. Visitors will be contacted from 

information they provide in their 

required overnight wilderness permits. 

Visitors will be provided alternative 

methods of response to the survey about 

their recreation experience in the Park: 

(1) Mail the survey to the Leopold 

Institute using a postage paid envelope, 

(2) receive an electronic e-mail form of 

the survey, or (3) access a web-based 

form of the electronic survey. All 

responses will be voluntary. Data 

collected in this information collection 

are not available from other sources and 

nothing comparable has been collected 

at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National 

Parks since 1990. 

This survey will only ask overnight 

recreation visitors questions about their 

recreation visit, their personal 

demographics relevant to education and 

service provision, and factors that have 

influenced or are likely to influence 

their recreational wilderness visits. 

Survey respondents will be told that 

this information is voluntary and in 

confidence (their names will not be 

connected to their responses in any 

way). 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 20 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 500. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 167 hours. 

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the National Park Service, including 

whether the information will have 

practical or scientific utility; (2) the 

accuracy of the Aldo Leopold 

Wilderness Research Institute’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission request toward Office of 

Management and Budget approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Swine Health. 

OMB Number: 0579-0137. 

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 (USDA) 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. APHIS regulations 

at 9 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C, 

govern the interstate movement of 

animals and other articles to prevent the 

spread of pests and diseases of livestock 

within the United States. 

The regulations in part 71 contain 

requirements for the interstate 

movement of swine within a production 

system to prevent the spread of swine 

diseases, and Part 85 regulates the 

interstate movement of swine to prevent 

the spread of the pseudorabies virus 

(PRV). Under the Pseudorabies 

Eradication Program, part 52 allows for 

the payment of indemnity to owners for 

the depopulation of swine known to be 

infected with PRV. Together these 

regulations protect the health of the U.S. 

swine population. Information 

collection activities associated with the 

regulations include, for part 71, a swine 

production system health plan and an 

interstate movement report and 

notification; for part 85, a Permit to 

Move Restricted Animals (VS Form 1- 

27), a certificate of veterinary 

inspection, an owner-shipper statement, 

an accredited veterinarian’s statement 

concerning embryos for implantation 

and semen shipments, and the 

completion and recordkeeping of a 

Quarterly Report of Pseudorabies 

Control Eradication Activities (VS Form 

7-1); and, for part 52, an appraisal and 

indemnity claim form (VS Form 1-23), 

a herd management plan, VS Form 1-27, 

and a report of net salvage goods. 

Additionally, the swine must be moved 

to slaughter in a means of conveyance 

sealed with an official seal. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

This information collection includes 

information collection requirements 

approved under OMB control numbers 

0579-0070, ‘‘Pseudorabies,’’ 0579-0137, 

‘‘Pseudorabies in Swine; Payment of 

Indemnity,’’ and 0579-0161, ‘‘Interstate 

Movement of Swine Within a 

Production System.’’ After OMB 

approves and combines the burden for 

the three collections under a single 

collection titled ‘‘Swine Health’’ (0579- 

0137), the Department will retire 

numbers 0579-0070 and 0579-0161. 

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 

0.2567212 hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. swine herd owners, 

producers, and shippers; hobby farmers; 

State animal health officials; and 

accredited veterinarians. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 7,670. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 15.154498. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 116,235. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 29,840 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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 9th day 

of June 2010.
