SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate 

Template. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

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 has the authority to 

detect, control, or eradicate pests or 

diseases of livestock and poultry. APHIS 

may also prohibit or restrict the 

importation or export of any animal to 

prevent the spread of livestock or 

poultry pests or diseases. 

The export of agricultural 

commodities, including animals and 

animal products, is a major business in 

the United States and contributes to a 

favorable balance of trade. Within 

APHIS, Veterinary Services (VS) 

maintains information regarding the 

import health requirements of other 

countries for animals and animal 

products exported from the United 

States, as most countries require a 

certification that our animals are free 

from specific diseases and show no 

clinical evidence of disease. Knowledge 

of these import health requirements 

allows exporters to determine whether 

their animals meet the health 

requirements of the destination 

countries and promotes disease 

prevention, which is the most effective 

method for maintaining a healthy 

animal population and enhancing our 

country’s ability to compete in the 

world market of animal and animal 

product trade. 

Exporters currently use several forms 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) to certify that their 

animals meet the certification 

requirements of other countries. 

However, to expedite the process, VS 

has developed an adaptable electronic 

export health certificate template for use 

by exporters and trading partners for the 

export certification of animals. This new 

template has the potential to replace 

other paper-based forms associated with 

the export certification of animals. 

We are asking OMB to approve our 

use of this information collection 

activity 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 0.5 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Live animal owners and 

exporters, accredited veterinarians, and 

animal health officials of the countries 

of destination. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1,849. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 24. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 44,376. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 22,188 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.

June 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Poultry Meat and 

Other Poultry Products From Sinaloa 

and Sonora, Mexico. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0144. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

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 United States 

Department of Agriculture is authorized, 

among other things, to prohibit the 

importation and interstate movement of 

animals and animal products to prevent 

the introduction into and dissemination 

within the United States of animal 

diseases and pests. To fulfill this 

mission, APHIS regulates the 

importation of animals and animal 

products into the United States. The 

regulations are contained in title 9, 

chapter I, subchapter D, parts 91 

through 99, of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

The regulations in part 94, among 

other things, restrict the importation of 

poultry meat and other poultry products 

from Mexico and other regions of the 

world where Newcastle disease has 

been determined to exist. The 

regulations allow the importation of 

poultry meat and poultry products from 

the Mexican States of Sinaloa and 

Sonora under conditions that protect 

against the introduction of Newcastle 

disease into the United States. 

To ensure that these items are safe for 

importation, we require that certain data 

appear on the foreign meat inspection 

certificate that accompanies the poultry 

meat or other poultry products from 

Sinaloa and Sonora. We also require 

that serially numbered seals be applied 

to containers carrying the poultry meat 

or other poultry products. 

Since the last approval of these 

collection activities, shipments of 

poultry meat and other poultry products 

from Sinaloa and Sonora to the United 

States have increased. As a result of the 

increase in shipments, the estimated 

annual number of respondents has 

increased from 280 to 386, and the 

estimated annual total burden has 

accordingly increased from 280 hours to 

386 hours. 

We are asking 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 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 1 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Federal animal health 

authorities in Mexico and exporters of 

poultry meat and other poultry products 

from Mexico to the United States. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 386. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 386. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 386 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.
