Summary of Collection: Title VI of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits

color, and national origin in programs 

receiving federal financial assistance. 

The Department of Justice regulations, 

cited at Title 28 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), Section 42.106(b), 

require all Federal Departments to 

provide for the collection of racial/ 

ethnic data and information from 

applicants for and recipients of Federal 

assistance sufficient to permit effective 

enforcement of Title VI. In order to 

comply with the Civil Rights Act, 

Department of Justice regulations and 

the Department’s nondiscrimination 

policy and regulations (7 CFR part 15), 

the Department’s Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS) requires State agencies to 

submit data on the racial/ethnic 

categories of person receiving benefits 

from FNS food assistance programs. 

FNS will collect information using 

forms FNS 191 and FNS 101. 

Need and Use of the Information: FNS 

will collect the names, address, 

telephone number, to compile a local 

agency directory which serves as the 

primary source of data on number and 

location for local agencies and number 

of sites operating Commodity 

Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). 

FNS will also collect information on the 

number of CFSP individuals (women, 

infant, children, and elderly) in each 

racial/ethnic category for one month of 

the year. The information will be used 

in the Department’s annual USDA Equal 

Opportunity Report. If the information 

is not collected FNS could not track 

racial/ethnic data for program 

evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Poultry Improvement 

Plan. 

OMB Number: 0579–0007. 

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 

to, among other things, administer the 

National Poultry Improvement Plan 

(NPIP or the Plan), the primary purpose 

of which is to protect the health of the 

U.S. poultry population. NPIP is a 

voluntary Federal-State-industry 

cooperative program for the 

improvement of poultry flocks and 

products through disease control 

techniques. Participation in all Plan 

programs is voluntary, but flocks, 

hatcheries, and dealers of breeding 

poultry must first qualify as ‘‘U.S. 

Pullorum-Typhoid Clean’’ as a 

condition for participation in the other 

Plan programs. The NPIP regulations are 

contained in 9 CFR parts, 56, 145, 146, 

and 147. 

In administering the Plan, APHIS 

requires a number of information 

activities and forms, including VS 

Forms 1–23/1–23A, Appraisal and 

Indemnity Claim for Animals Destroyed 

or Materials Destroyed/Continuation 

Sheet; VS Form 9–3, Report of Sales of 

Hatching Eggs, Chicks, and Poults; VS 

Form 9–4, Summary of Breeding, Flock, 

Table-Egg Layer Flocks, Meat-Type

to States, upon request, of computerized 

printouts of interstate sales by hatchery 

operators who ship large numbers of 

small chick orders. 

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 

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 

0.61926273 hours per response. 

Respondents: Flock owners, breeders, 

hatchery operators, table-egg producers, 

meat-type chicken and turkey slaughter 

plant workers, personnel at approved 

laboratories, and State personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 10.800. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 15.45490741. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 166,913. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 103,363 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 21st day of 

May 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Importation of Live Poultry, Poultry 

Meat, and Other Poultry Products from 

Specified Regions. 

OMB Number: 0579–0228. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the authority of 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 the 

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. 

In part 94, § 94.26 allows the 

importation, subject to certain 

conditions, of live poultry, poultry 

meat, and other poultry products from 

certain regions, including Argentina and 

the Mexican States of Campeche, 

Quintana Roo, and Yucatan, that are free 

of exotic Newcastle disease (END). The 

conditions for importation require, 

among other things, certification from a 

full-time salaried veterinary officer of 

the national government of the 

exporting region that poultry and 

poultry products exported from one of 

these regions originated in that region 

(or in another region recognized by 

APHIS as free of END) and that before 

the export to the United States, the 

poultry and poultry products were not 

commingled with poultry and poultry 

products from regions where END 

exists. 

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 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;
