SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Veterinary Services 

Laboratories Request Forms. 

OMB Number: 0579-XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of an 

information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is authorized, among 

other things, to carry out activities to 

detect, control, and eradicate pests and 

diseases of livestock within the United 

States. To carry out this mission, 

APHIS’ National Veterinary Services 

Laboratories (NVSL) safeguard U.S 

animal health and contribute to public 

health by ensuring that timely and 

accurate laboratory support is provided 

by their nationwide animal health 

diagnostic system. 

NVSL support activities provide upon 

request reagents or supplies and training 

to domestic and foreign diagnostic 

laboratories, governments, researchers, 

and private veterinary practitioners. 

These activities involve information 

collection activities, including the VS 

Form 4-9, Request for Reagents or 

Supplies; VS Form 4-10, NVSL 

Customer Contact Update; and VS Form 

4-11, Request for NVSL Laboratory 

Training. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 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 collection 

of information, 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 

collection of information 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 

0.2488771 hours per response. 

Respondents: Domestic and foreign 

diagnostic laboratories, governments, 

researchers, and private veterinary 

practitioners. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1,085. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 3.4884792. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 3,785. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 942 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 28th day 

of May 2010.
