Bill) that are available to eligible and 

qualified farmers and ranchers. SURE 

provides assistance to eligible producers 

who suffered crop production or crop 

quality losses, or both due to natural 

disaster. The total burden hours have 

been revised to reflect the number of 

Secretarial requests for natural disaster 

assistance during the 2008 crop year.

agency, including whether the

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Permanent, Privately Owned 

Horse Quarantine Facilities. 

OMB Number: 0579–0313. 

Type of Request: 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 United States 

Department of Agriculture is authorized, 

among other things, to prohibit or 

restrict the importation and interstate 

movement of animals and animal 

products to prevent the introduction 

into and dissemination within the 

United States of livestock diseases and 

pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS 

regulates the importation of animals and 

animal products into the United States. 

The regulations are contained in title 9, 

parts 92 through 98, of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. 

The regulations in 9 CFR part 93 

require, among other things, that certain 

animals, as a condition of entry, be 

quarantined upon arrival in the United 

States. APHIS operates animal 

quarantine facilities and also authorizes 

the use of quarantine facilities that are 

privately owned and operated for 

certain animal importations. 

The regulations in subpart C of part 

93 pertain to the importation of horses 

and include requirements for privately 

owned quarantine facilities for horses. 

These requirements entail certain 

information collection activities, 

including environmental certification, 

application for facility approval, service 

agreements, requests to APHIS 

concerning withdrawal of approval, 

notification to APHIS of facility closure, 

compliance agreements, security 

procedures, alarm notification, lists of 

personnel, signed statements, daily logs, 

and requests for variance.
