SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Veterinary Services; Customer Service 

Survey. 

OMB Number: 0579-0334. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

among other things, regulates, and 

provides services related to, the 

importation, interstate movement, and 

exportation of animals, animal products, 

and other articles to prevent the spread 

of pests and diseases of livestock. 

Veterinary Services (VS), APHIS, is the 

program unit that carries out these 

activities to protect animal health. 

In an effort to evaluate service 

delivery, VS conducts a survey to 

evaluate its customer service to the 

public. The survey is in the form of a 

short questionnaire that VS presents to 

individuals who use its services. 

Completion of the questionnaire is 

voluntary, and responses do not identify 

the individual respondent. Respondents 

are asked to identify the type of 

customer they are (e.g., animal/animal 

product producer, animal importer/ 

exporter), and then to rate the services 

received in terms of courtesy, 

timeliness, helpfulness, etc., as well as 

the overall experience. The 

questionnaire also allows respondents 

to provide comments. 

The information collected is used to 

identify areas in which VS can improve 

service delivery to the public and more 

efficiently meet the needs and 

expectations of customers. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of this information 

collection activity 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 

information collection, 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 

information collection 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 

0.0458 hours per response. 

Respondents: Members of the public 

who receive services from Veterinary 

Services. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 5,000. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5,000. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 229 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.

of August 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate. 

OMB Number: 0579-0020. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The export of agricultural 

commodities, including animals and 

animal products, is a major business in 

the United States and contributes to a 

favorable balance of trade. The U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services 

(VS) maintains information regarding 

the import health requirements of other 

countries for animals and animal 

products exported from the United 

States, as most countries require a 

certification that our animals are free 

from specific diseases and show no 

clinical evidence of disease. This 

certification must carry the USDA seal 

and be endorsed by an APHIS, APHIS 

accredited, or State veterinarian. VS 

Forms 17-140/17-140A, U.S. Origin 

Health Certificate/Continuation Sheet, 

and VS Form 17-145, U.S. Origin Health 

Certificate for the Export of Horses from 

the United Sates to Canada, are used to 

meet the certification requirements of 

other countries. In addition, other 

information collection activities used 

for the export of animals and animal 

products may include: Environmental 

certification for export facilities; 

notarized statements; documentation of 

undue hardship for animals departing 

from a specific export location; requests 

regarding approval or withdrawal of 

approval of export facilities; and 

recordkeeping for modification of rail 

stanchions on vessels. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as

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 

0.4999639 hours per response. 

Respondents: Accredited 

veterinarians; sheep, goat, and horse 

owners/facility operators; exporters; and 

owners of ocean vessels used to export 

livestock from the United States. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 2,056. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 13.5. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 27,756. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 13,877 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
