Purpose 

The U.S. Agency for International 

Development (USAID) is authorized to 

make contracts with any corporation, 

international organization, or other body 

of persons in or outside of the United 

States in furtherance of the purposes 

and within limitations of the Foreign 

Assistance Act (FAA). The information 

collection requirements placed on the 

public are published in 48 CFR chapter 

7, and include the following offeror or 

contractor reporting requirements, 

identified by the AIDAR section 

number, as specified in the AIDAR 

701.106: 752.219–8, 752.245–70, 

752.245–71(c)(2), 752.247–70(c), 

752.7001, 752.7002(j), 752.7003, 

752.7004 and 752.7032. 

The pre-award requirements are based 

on a need for prudent management in 

the determination that an offeror either 

has or can obtain the ability to 

competently manage development 

assistance programs using public funds. 

The requirements for information 

collection during the post-award period 

are based on the need to prudently 

administer public funds. 

Overview of Information Collections 

(1) Information Collection Elements in 

the USAID Acquisition Regulation 

(AIDAR). 

(2) Type of Information Collection: 

Renewal of Information Collection 

under OMB No: OMB 0412–0520. 

(3) Title of the Form: Contractor 

Employee Biographical Data Sheet 

corresponding to AIDAR 752.7001. 

(4) Agency Form No.: AID 1420–17. 

(5) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond: Offerors 

responding to contract solicitations and 

contractors. 

(6) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond is: USAID estimates that 4,877 

respondents will submit 33,249 

submissions per year. The amount of 

time estimated to complete each 

response varies by item. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collections: 43,943. 

(8) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: $4,054,200. Note that while 

the burden for these information 

collections falls on the public, most of 

the submissions are reimbursable either 

directly or indirectly under Agency 

contracts, the cost for most of these 

collections falls under the federal cost 

burden. Thus, the estimated total public 

cost burden not reimbursed through 

Agency contracts is $57,570.24.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Control of Chronic Wasting 

Disease. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0189. 

Type of Request: Revision to 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 protect the health of the 

United States’ livestock and poultry 

populations by preventing the 

introduction and interstate spread of 

serious diseases and pests of livestock 

and for eradicating such diseases from 

the United States when feasible. 

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a 

transmissible spongiform 

encephalopathy of cervids (elk, deer, 

and moose) typified by chronic weight 

loss leading to death. The presence of 

CWD in cervids causes significant 

economic and market losses to U.S. 

producers. In an effort to control and 

limit the spread of this disease in the 

United States, APHIS created a 

cooperative, voluntary Federal-Stateprivate sector CWD Herd Certification 

Program designed to identify farmed or 

captive herds infected with CWD. The 

program is designed to identify farmed 

or captive herds infected with CWD and 

provide for the management of these 

herds in a way that will reduce the risk 

of spreading CWD. APHIS’ Veterinary 

Services manages the CWD Herd 

Certification Program. 

Owners of farmed or captive elk, deer, 

and moose herds who choose to 

participate in the Herd Certification 

Program need to follow program 

requirements for animal identification, 

testing, herd management, and 

movement of animals into and from 

herds. The regulations for this program 

are in 9 CFR part 55. Part 55 also 

contains the regulations that authorize 

the payment of indemnity for the 

voluntary depopulation of CWDpositive, CWD-exposed, or CWD-suspect 

captive cervids. APHIS also established 

requirements in 9 CFR part 81 for the 

interstate movement of deer, elk, and 

moose to prevent movement that could 

pose a risk of spreading CWD. 

The Herd Certification Program and 

the indemnity program entail the use of 

information collection activities such as 

an APHIS Veterinary Services appraisal 

and indemnity claim form; sample 

collections and laboratory submissions, 

testing, and reporting; APHIS Veterinary 

Services State application for chronic 

wasting disease herd certification 

program approval, renewal, or 

reinstatement; memoranda of 

understanding between APHIS and 

participating States; herd or premises 

plans; annual reports; State reviews; 

epidemiological investigations and 

reporting of out-of-State traces to 

affected States; reports of cervid 

suspects, escapes, disappearances, and 

deaths; inspections and inventories; a 

letter to appeal suspension, 

cancellation, or change in status; 

farmed, captive, and wild cervid 

identification; interstate certificates of 

veterinary inspection; surveillance data; 

inspection reports; cooperative 

agreements; laboratory worksheets; and 

recordkeeping. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, 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 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 4 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: State animal health 

officials, laboratories, accredited 

veterinarians, and businesses managing 

farmed, captured, or wild cervid herds. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 9,053. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 9. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 78,128. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 322,546 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 1st day of 

March 2021.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
