than slaughter under certain conditions. 

Moving Johne’s-positive livestock 

interstate for slaughter or for other 

purposes without increasing the risk of 

disease spread requires a movement 

permit or an owner-shipper statement, 

official ear tags, and a permission to 

move request. Permission may also be 

sought, in writing, for movement of 

animals that do not have a permit, 

owner-shipper statement, or ear tags. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) will collect information 

using form VS Form 1–27, Permit for 

Movement of Restricted Animals, 

Official Ear Tags, and Request for 

Permission to Move. APHIS will collect 

the following information from VS Form 

1–27: (1) The number of animals to be 

moved; (2) the species of the animals; 

(3) the points of origin and destination, 

and (4) the names and addresses of the 

consignor and the consignee. Failing to 

collect this information would greatly 

hinder the control of Johne’s disease 

and possible lead to increased 

prevalence.

Title: Bovine Spongiform 

Encephalopathy (BSE); Importation of 

Animals and Animal Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0393. 

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. The Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) regulates the importation of 

animals and animal products into the 

United States to guard against the 

introduction of animal diseases. The 

regulations in 9 CFR parts 92 through 

98, govern the importation of certain 

animals, birds, poultry, meat, other 

animal products and byproducts, hay, 

and straw. It also contains measures for 

preventing the introduction of various 

diseases into the United States. 

Need and Use of the Information: To 

ensure BSE is not introduced into the 

United States, the regulations place 

specific conditions on the importation 

of animals and animal products. These 

requirements necessitate the use of 

several information collection activities, 

including, but not limited to, 

certification, official identification, 

request for and retention of 

classification as negligible or controlled 

risk, declaration of importation, import 

and export certificates, applications, 

import and movement permits, 

agreements, certification statements, 

seals, notifications, and recordkeeping. 

Failure to collect this information 

would make it impossible for APHIS to 

effectively prevent BSE-contaminated 

animals and animal products from 

entering the United States, and to track 

movement of any imported BSEcontaminated animals or products 

within the United States post-arrival.
