Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Brucellosis and Bovine 

tuberculosis: Importation of Cattle and 

Bison 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0442. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Secretary may also prohibit or 

restrict import or export of any animal 

or related material if necessary to 

prevent the spread of any livestock or 

poultry pest or disease. The AHPA is 

contained in title X, subtitle E, sections 

10401–18 of Public Law 107–171, May 

13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural 

Investment Act of 2002 [7 U.S.C. 8301 

et. seq.] 

Disease prevention is the most 

effective method for maintaining a 

healthy animal population and for 

enhancing the United States’ ability to 

compete in the world market of animal 

and animal product trade. Tuberculosis 

(TB) is a contagious disease of both 

animals and humans. Bovine TB, caused 

by M. bovis, can be transmitted from 

livestock to humans and other animals. 

Brucellosis is an infectious disease of 

animals and humans caused by the 

bacteria of the genus Brucella. The 

disease is characterized by abortions 

and impaired fertility in its principal 

animal hosts. Brucellosis is mainly a 

disease of cattle, bison, and swine; 

Brucella abortus is associated with the 

disease in cattle and bison. There is no 

economically feasible treatment for 

brucellosis in livestock. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS uses the following information 

activities to prevent importation of 

cattle and bison infected with or 

exposed to TB and brucellosis: 

Request for Regional Classification; 

Application for Recognition of Regional 

Classification; 

Request for Additional Information 

about a Region; 

Maintaining Classification and 

Reclassification; and 

Official Identification and Certification 

Failure to collect this information 

would make it much more difficult for 

APHIS to prevent, detect, control, and 

eradicate TB and brucellosis from the 

United States. Outbreaks of the diseases 

would have severe economic 

consequences on the U.S. cattle 

industry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Until 1972, one of the primary 

mechanisms for the disposal of 

munitions and explosives of concern 

(MEC), including unexploded ordnance, 

discarded military munitions, and 

munitions constituents—all of which 

may pose explosive hazards—was to 

dispose of them at sea. This disposal, in 

addition to other mechanisms, has led 

to a significant buildup of MEC in 

Federal waters on the outer continental 

shelf (OCS) with a concentration along 

the eastern seaboard of the United 

States. As the demand for renewable 

energy continues to grow, offshore 

energy, with a focus on offshore wind, 

is rapidly increasing. The Biden-Harris 

Administration has set a goal of 

significantly increasing the nation’s 

offshore wind energy capacity to 30 

gigawatts by 2030. However, many of 

the sites leased and targeted for 

development of these projects overlap 

with areas where MEC have settled over 

the decades. To answer questions on 

how to address the discovery of MEC 

through a whole-of-government process, 

the Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement (BSEE) approached the 

U.S. Committee on the Marine 

Transportation System (CMTS), a 

Congressionally mandated, Cabinetlevel interagency body, to convene 

Federal agencies to develop this 

guidance. This document is intended to 

help Federal agencies coordinate their 

statutory and regulatory authorities to 

approve, regulate, or permit the 

detonation, removal, or mitigation of 

MEC on the OCS. 

The draft national guidance describes 

the process recommended to industry 

when responding to MEC discovered in 

Federal waters and on the OCS during 

the development of offshore energy 

installations. This includes procedures 

for industry to inform the government of 

MEC discoveries on the OCS, a process 

to safely develop a risk assessment, and 

MEC operational response plan. The 

draft guidance also outlines the 

interagency process for the government 

to respond to such discoveries and work 

with industry.

the public comments submitted during 

this comment period in issuing any final 

National Guidance.
