Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Regulations, Part 

275—Quality Control 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0303 

Summary of Collection: Section 16 of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 

provides the legislative basis for the 

operation of the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP) Quality 

Control system. The Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS), as administrator of the 

SNAP, requires each State agency to 

implement a quality control system to 

provide basis for determining each State 

agency’s error rates through review of a 

sample of SNAP cases. Each State 

agency is responsible for the design and 

selection of the quality control samples 

and must submit a quality control 

sampling plan for approval to FNS. 

Additionally, State agencies are 

required to maintain case records for 

three years to ensure compliance with 

provisions of the Food and Nutrition 

Act of 2008. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

quality control sampling plan is 

necessary for FNS to monitor State 

operations and is essential to the 

determination of a State agency’s error 

rate and corresponding entitlement to 

increased Federal share of its 

administrative costs or liability for 

sanctions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Beef from 

Uruguay. 

OMB Number: 0579–xxxx. 

Type of Request: 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. 

Part 94, § 94.22, allows the 

importation, subject to certain 

conditions, of beef from Uruguay. 

Among the conditions is a requirement 

for a certificate that must be completed 

by an authorized official of the 

Government of Uruguay with a 

statement that specific conditions have 

been met to protect the United States 

against the introduction of foot-andmouth disease. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 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 

1.5004034 hours per response. 

Respondents: Federal animal health 

officials of the Government of Uruguay. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 21. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 59. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,239. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,859 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 18th day of 

October 2010.

ACTION: Notice of availability and

SUMMARY: The International Cooperation 

on Harmonization of Technical 

Requirements for the Registration of

has developed a draft guideline titled 

‘‘Pharmacovigilance of Veterinary 

Medicinal Products: Electronic 

Standards for Transfer of Data.’’ This 

draft guideline provides information 

concerning the development of a single 

electronic message to transmit adverse 

event reports concerning veterinary 

biologics between regulatory authorities 

in the European Union, Japan, and the 

United States and marketing 

authorization holders (veterinary 

biologics licensees and permittees) in 

those regions. Because the draft 

guideline applies to pharmacovigilance 

and adverse event reporting on 

veterinary vaccines regulated by the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service under the Virus-Serum-Toxin 

Act, we are requesting comments on the 

scope of the guideline and its provisions 

so that we may include any relevant 

public input on the draft in the 

Agency’s comments to the VICH 

Steering Committee. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before December 

21, 2010.
