Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Control and Eradication of 

African Swine Fever; Conditions for 

Payment of Indemnity Claims. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0491. 

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 required 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; 7 U.S.C. 8301, 

et. seq. 

Part of the mission of the Veterinary 

Services (VS) business unit of the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is preventing foreign 

animal disease outbreaks in the United 

States, and monitoring, controlling, and 

eliminating a disease outbreak should 

one occur. In the past several years, 

there have been significant worldwide 

outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) 

and the USDA is committed to working 

with State and industry partners to keep 

the virus out of the United States and its 

territories. 

Need and Use of the Information: VS 

or State personnel, as part of incident 

management team operations, will 

collect from herd owners or growers of 

ASF presumptive positive or positive 

premises information needed to 

reimburse the owners or growers for the 

value of any animals taken and develop 

a plan for virus elimination so the 

owner or grower can return to normal 

business operations. 

If the information were conducted 

less frequently or not at all, APHIS 

would not be able to develop disease 

mitigation plans or properly reimburse 

producers and herd owners for their lost 

inventory. 

Description of Respondents: 

Businesses or other for-profit; State, 

Local, and Tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents: 40,050. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,538,300.
