SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate. 

OMB Number: 0579-0020. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The export of agricultural 

commodities, including animals and 

animal products, is a major business in 

the United States and contributes to a 

favorable balance of trade. The U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services 

(VS) maintains information regarding 

the import health requirements of other 

countries for animals and animal 

products exported from the United 

States, as most countries require a 

certification that our animals are free 

from specific diseases and show no 

clinical evidence of disease. This 

certification must carry the USDA seal 

and be endorsed by an APHIS, APHIS 

accredited, or State veterinarian. VS 

Forms 17-140/17-140A, U.S. Origin 

Health Certificate/Continuation Sheet, 

and VS Form 17-145, U.S. Origin Health 

Certificate for the Export of Horses from 

the United Sates to Canada, are used to 

meet the certification requirements of 

other countries. In addition, other 

information collection activities used 

for the export of animals and animal 

products may include: Environmental 

certification for export facilities; 

notarized statements; documentation of 

undue hardship for animals departing 

from a specific export location; requests 

regarding approval or withdrawal of 

approval of export facilities; and 

recordkeeping for modification of rail 

stanchions on vessels. 

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 

information collection, 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 

information collection 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 

0.4999639 hours per response. 

Respondents: Accredited 

veterinarians; sheep, goat, and horse 

owners/facility operators; exporters; and 

owners of ocean vessels used to export 

livestock from the United States. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 2,056. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 13.5. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 27,756. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 13,877 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Importation of Live Swine, Pork, and 

Pork Products from Certain Regions Free 

of Classical Swine Fever in Chile and 

Mexico. 

OMB Number: 0579-0230. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

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. 

Part 94 allows the importation, 

subject to certain conditions, of live 

swine, pork, and pork products from 

certain regions that are free of classical 

swine fever (CSF) in Chile and Mexico 

to prevent the introduction of CSF into 

the United States. These conditions 

involve information collection 

activities, including certificates, 

cooperative agreements, and cooperative 

service agreements. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

This information collection includes 

information collection requirements 

approved under OMB control numbers 

0579-0230, Importation of Live Swine, 

Pork, and Pork Products From Eight 

Mexican States; 0579-0235, Classical 

Swine Fever Status of Chile; and 0579- 

0333, Importation of Pork and Pork 

Products. After OMB approves and 

combines the burden for the three 

collections under a single collection, 

Importation of Live Swine, Pork, and 

Pork Products from Certain Regions Free 

of Classical Swine Fever in Chile and 

Mexico (0579-0230), the Department 

will retire numbers 0579-0235 and 

0579-0333. 

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 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Federal animal health 

officials of the Governments of Chile 

and Mexico. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 11 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 7.82 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 86. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 86 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.
