subcontract applicants desiring to 

sample processed foods and certify as to 

the identification, location, and

ability to perform the job functions. The 

applicant’s signature on the bottom of 

the FV–468 certifies that the statements 

made thereon are correct. It also certifies

willing to comply with the conditions 

outlined in the regulations regarding all 

licensed samplers upon approval of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Equines into the 

United States. 

OMB Number: 0579–0324. 

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) regulates the 

importation and interstate movement of 

certain animals and animal products to 

prevent the introduction into or 

dissemination within the United States 

of pests and diseases of livestock. 

The regulations in 9 CFR part 93 

prohibit or restrict the importation of 

certain animals into the United States to 

prevent the introduction of 

communicable diseases of livestock and 

poultry. In accordance with Subpart C 

of the regulations, the importation of 

equines into the United States involves 

a variety of information collection 

activities, including import permit 

application; foreign health certificates; 

submission of requests for space at 

USDA quarantine facilities with 

declaration of importation and payment 

terms; specimen submission forms; 

requests for inspection, other services, 

dipping treatments; cooperative, trust 

fund, and written agreements; 

certification statements; daily records 

and logs; photographs for identification;

permanent electronic identification 

compatible reader; plans for medical 

treatment; application for approval of a 

quarantine or holding facility; 

opportunity for a hearing on facility 

withdrawal or suspension; requests to 

change a horse’s itinerary or method of 

transportation; and recordkeeping. We 

are adding as a new collection activity 

a checklist for approval of permanent, 

privately owned equine quarantine 

facilities. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 3 years. 

This revised information collection 

combines equine importation activities 

currently approved by OMB under 

‘‘Temporary Importation of Horses; 

Noncompetitive Entertainment Horses 

From Countries Affected With 

Contagious Equine Metritis’’(0579– 

0324), ‘‘Importation of Horses, 

Ruminants, Swine, and Dogs; Inspection 

and Treatment for Screwworm (0579– 

0165), and ‘‘Importation of Animals and 

Poultry, Animal and Poultry Products, 

Certain Animal Embryos, Semen, and 

Zoological Animals’’ (0579–0040). We 

are changing the title to ‘‘Importation of 

Equines into the United States’’ to 

accurately reflect the combined 

collection activities. 

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 

0.645347 hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers of horses into 

the United States; operators of private 

quarantine facilities; States approved to 

conduct contagious equine metritis 

testing; State animal health authorities; 

foreign government officials; 

transporters; hobby farm operators; nonprofit organizations; accredited 

veterinarians; private laboratories; and 

research institutions. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 35,500. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1.64231. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 58,302. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 37,625 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 

December 2010.
