## Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

*Title:*                     APHIS Credit Account and User Fee Programs.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0055.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to prescribe and collect fees to cover the costs of providing certain agricultural quarantine, inspection, and veterinary diagnostics services. Reimbursable overtime fees may also be assessed for inspection services requested during non-duty hours. The Secretary is authorized to use the revenue to provide reimbursements to any appropriation accounts that incur costs associated with the services provided. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 authorizes the Agency to collect information from person(s) requesting to establish credit accounts with the U.S. government. APHIS charges the appropriate fees to respondents using billing information obtained from several APHIS documents.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS will collect information from requests to establish credit accounts to conduct credit checks and to ensure credit worthiness prior to extending credit services. APHIS will also collect information required to identify fees associated with provided services, and to ensure that the correct amounts are collected and remitted in full in a timely manner. Without the information,                           ( print page 5485)                        APHIS would not be able to ensure substantial compliance with the statute. Noncompliance with the statute could result in misappropriation of public funds and lost revenue to the Federal Government.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit; Individuals.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     144,209.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     95,310.
