*Title:*                     Plum Pox Compensation.                 

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0159.                 

*Summary of Collection:*                     Plum Pox is an extremely serious viral disease of plants that can affect may stone fruit species, including plum, peach, apricot, almond, and nectarine. The United States Department of Agriculture is responsible for preventing plant pests and noxious weeds for entering the United States; preventing the spread of pests new to the United States and eradicating those imported pests and weeds when eradication is feasible. The regulations in 7 CFR 301.74-5 permit owners of commercial stone fruit orchards and owners of fruit tree nurseries to receive compensation under certain circumstances. Owners of commercial stone fruit orchards may receive compensation for losses associated with trees destroyed to control plum pox pursuant to an emergency action notification (EAN) issued by the Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). APHIS will collect information using form PPQ 651 Application for Plum Pox Compensation.                 

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS will collect the owner's name and address, a description of the owner's property, and a certification statement that the trees removed from the owner's property were stone fruit trees from commercial fruit orchards or fruit tree nurseries. The owner's will also need to send APHIS a copy of the EAN ordering the destruction of their trees. If the information were not collected, APHIS would be unable to compensate eligible grove and nursery owners for the loss of their trees.                 

*Description of Respondents:*                     State, Local or Tribal Government.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     7.                 

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                 

*Total Burden Hours:*                     1.                 

## Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service 

*Title:*                     Interstate Movement of Swine Within a Production System.                 

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0161.                 

*Summary of Collection:*                     Disease prevention is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy animal population, and for enhancing the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS) ability to compete in the world market of animal and animal product trade. The Veterinary Services Division of APHIS is responsible for carrying out this disease prevention mission. The regulations under which APHIS conducts these disease prevention activities are contained in Title 9, Subchapter C of Chapter I, which governs the interstate movement of animals to prevent the dissemination of livestock and poultry diseases within the United States. Regulations in Part 71 contain requirements for moving swine interstate within a swine production system. (A production system consists of separate farms that each specialize in a different phase of swine production—sow herds, nursery herds, and finishing herds.) Moving swine interstate within a swine production system involves the use of two information collection activities in the form of a Swine Production Health Plan and an Interstate Swine Movement Report.                 

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The Swine Production Health Plan is a document developed by participating swine producers, stating that all farms within the given swine production system will maintain the health of their swine and remain vigilant for any signs of communicable disease. The Interstate Swine Movement Report is a document initiated by swine producers to notify their accredited veterinarians, APHIS, and State regulatory officials in the States of origin and destination that a group of animals is being moved across State lines in a swine production system. Without the information, the movement of swine interstate within a swine production system would become less efficient and more time-consuming, consequently placing more financial and logistical burden on producers who regularly engage in this activity.                 

*Description of Respondents:*                     Farms.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     1,000.                 

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                 

*Total Burden Hours:*                     1,000.
