Paperwork Reduction Act

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the paperwork burden associated with this Notice has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control Number 0570–0057. The PRA burden associated with the June 12, 2009 NOCP was approved by OMB, with an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the program. Since the publication of the June 12, 2009 NOCP, the Agency has not received a sufficient number of qualified applications to allocate all of the Fiscal Year 2009 authorized funds.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), requires agencies to publish in the Federal Register a notice of any new or revised system of records maintained by the agency. A system of records is a group of any records under the control of an agency, from which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to an individual.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing to add a new system of records, entitled National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN), which will be used to support activities conducted by the agency and maintain records pursuant to its missions and responsibilities authorized by the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301–8317); Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–188); Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7; and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-9.

The purpose of NAHLN is to coordinate and network USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories with the capacity, facilities, professional expertise, and support of State and university laboratories. The network provides an extensive infrastructure of facilities, equipment, and personnel that are geographically accessible in the event of an animal health emergency.

APHIS uses the NAHLN to enhance early detection of foreign animal disease agents and newly emerging diseases, to better respond to animal health emergencies (including bioterrorist events) that threaten the nation’s food supply and public health, and to assist in assessing the nation’s animal health status through surveillance and shared animal health diagnostic data.

The NAHLN contains personally identifiable information about the owner of or person having primary responsibility for an animal undergoing testing in a networked laboratory. Such information includes name; address, including city, county, State, postal code; name of organization, telephone and fax numbers; and e-mail address.

The NAHLN also contains information about employees of the networked laboratories. Such information may include name, work address, position, telephone number, and e-mail address; emergency contact information; and proficiency test results. Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses.

APHIS may disclose information in the NAHLN system to Federal or State animal health officials to aid in containing and responding to a foreign animal disease outbreak, bioterrorism, or other animal health emergency, to evaluate response and surveillance activities, or to disseminate information and solicit feedback on emergency preparedness guidelines and the system itself for the purpose of educating and involving these officials in program development, program requirements, and standards of conduct. Other routine uses of this information include releases related to investigations pertaining to violations of law or related to litigation. A complete listing of the routine uses for this system is included in the accompanying document that is published along with this notice.

The proposed information collection devices associated with the NAHLN system have been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Report on New System

A report on the new system of records, required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), as implemented by Office of Management and Budget Circular A–130, was sent to the Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, United States Senate; the Chairman, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, House of Representatives; and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget.
