SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Importation of Animals and Poultry, 

Animal and Poultry Products, Certain 

Animal Embryos, Semen, and 

Zoological Animals. 

OMB Number: 0579–0040. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: 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 of animals, animal 

products, and other articles into the 

United States to prevent the 

introduction of animal diseases and 

pests. In connection with this mission, 

APHIS collects pertinent information 

from persons who import animals or 

poultry, animal or poultry products, or 

animal germplasm into the United 

States. 

This information includes data such 

as the origins of the animals or animal 

products to be imported, the health 

status of the animals or the processing 

methods used to produce animal 

products to be imported, and whether 

the animals or animal products were 

temporarily offloaded in another 

country during their transit to the 

United States. We need this information 

to help ensure that these imports do not 

introduce exotic animal diseases into 

the United States. 

We use a variety of information 

collection procedures, devices, and 

forms including, but not limited to: 

Health certificates, import permits, ear 

tags, leg bands, specimen submission 

forms, inspection reports, cooperative 

and trust fund agreements, and 

certification statements. 

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 

0.41688779 hours per response. 

Respondents: Entities that import 

animals or poultry, animal or poultry 

products, and animal embryos, 

germplasm, and semen. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 77,976. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 162.4330306. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 12,665,878. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 528,025 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 11th day of 

May 2007.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Draft Guidelines on Pharmacovigilance 

of Veterinary Medicinal Products: 

Controlled Lists of Terms 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The International Cooperation 

on Harmonization of Technical 

Requirements for the Registration of 

Veterinary Medicinal Products (VICH) 

has developed a draft guideline titled 

‘‘Pharmacovigilance of Veterinary 

Medicinal Products: Controlled Lists of 

Terms.’’ This draft guideline provides 

guidance for the development and 

maintenance of the controlled lists of 

terms required to complete the 

controlled data fields contained in 

adverse event reports concerning the 

use of veterinary medicinal products. 

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
