Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0020. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. 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. As 

part of its mission to facilitate the export 

of U.S. animals and products, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, 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. Most countries require a 

certification that the animals are disease 

free. 

To ensure a favorable balance of trade 

and compliance with export health 

requirements, APHIS uses information 

collection activities such as U.S. Origin 

Health Certificates and Export Health 

Certificates for Poultry or Hatching Eggs 

for Export; U.S. Interstate and 

International Certificates of Health 

Examinations for Small Animals; U.S. 

Origin Health Certificates for the Export 

of Horses from the United States to 

Canada; Health Certificates for the 

Export of Live Finfish, Mollusks, and 

Crustaceans (and their Gametes); 

Inspection and Certification of Animal 

Products; Undue Hardship 

Explanations—Animals; Applications 

for Approval of Inspection Facility— 

Environmental Certification; Annual 

Inspections of Inspection Facilities; 

Opportunities to Present Views 

Concerning Withdrawal of Facility 

Approval; Certifications to Carry 

Livestock; Inspections of Vessel Prior to 

Voyage; Operator Reports; Aircraft 

Cleaning and Disinfection; CountrySpecific Health Certificates; and Travel 

Time. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

collection of this information prevents 

unhealthy animals from being exported 

from the United States. The information 

collected is used to: (1) establish that 

the animals are moved in compliance 

with USDA regulations, (2) verify that 

the animals destined for export are 

listed on the health certificate by means 

of an official identification, (3) verify to 

the consignor and consignee that the 

animals are healthy, (4) prevent 

unhealthy animals from being exported 

and (5) satisfy the import requirements 

of receiving countries. If these 

certifications were not provided, other 

countries would not accept animals 

from the United States. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Business or other for profit.

Expiration Date: December 31, 2024. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

Currently Approved Collection. 

Abstract: Each year, WIC State 

agencies administering the Special 

Supplemental Nutrition Program for 

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are 

required by 7 CFR 246.12(j)(5) to submit 

to FNS an annual summary of the 

results of their vendor monitoring 

efforts in order to provide Congress, 

senior FNS officials, as well as the 

public, assurance that every reasonable 

effort is being made to ensure integrity 

in the WIC Program. The number of WIC 

State agencies in fiscal year 2023 is 89. 

This includes 50 geographic State 

agencies, 33 State agencies operated by 

Indian Tribal Organizations, the District 

of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, 

American Samoa, the Commonwealth of 

the Northern Mariana Islands, and the 

Virgin Islands. All WIC State agencies 

use the web-based system called Food 

Delivery Portal (FDP). 

FDP is a robust data collection system 

which aligns with current security 

protocols and compliance guidance, 

supports data storage and web 

components, ensures cost effectiveness, 

allows for data-driven decision-making, 

has enhanced FNS reporting 

capabilities, reduces grantee burden 

through automated calculations and 

consolidated reporting, and adds data 

validation features to reduce reporting 

errors. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is based on the fields in the Food 

Delivery Portal, and the total number of 

vendor records estimated to be entered 

by WIC State agencies. It includes the 

time for reviewing instructions, 

searching existing data sources, 

gathering and maintaining the data 

needed, and completing and reviewing 

the collection of information. 

Affected Public: State, local, and 

Tribal government. Respondent groups 

identified include State, Tribal, and 

WIC agencies in the District of Columbia 

and in U.S. Territories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

The total estimated number of 

respondents is 89. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: The estimated number of 

responses per respondent is 5. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

475 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time of response varies from 

4 minutes (.068 hours) to 10 hours 

depending on respondent group, as 

shown in the table below, with an 

average estimated time of 2.39 hours for 

all participants. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,135 hours. See the table 

below for estimated total annual burden 

for each type of respondent.
