Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Animal Welfare. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0036. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Laboratory Animal Welfare Act (AWA) 

(Pub. L. 89–544) enacted August 24, 

1966, and as amended, requires the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, (USDA), to 

regulate the humane care and handling 

of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, 

rabbits, and nonhuman primates. This 

legislation was the result of extensive 

demand by organized animal welfare 

groups and private citizens requesting a 

Federal law covering the transportation, 

care, and handling of laboratory 

animals. The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS), Animal 

Care (AC) has the responsibility to 

enforce the AWA (7 U.S.C. 2131–2156) 

and the provisions of 9 CFR, Subchapter 

A, which implements the AWA. The 

purpose of the AWA is to ensure that 

animals used in research facilities or for 

exhibition purposes are provided 

humane care and treatment. The AWA 

assures the humane treatment of 

animals during transportation in 

commerce and protects the owners from 

the theft of their animals by preventing 

the sale or use of animals that were 

stolen. APHIS will collect information 

using several forms of burden. 

In addition, APHIS is merging 0579– 

0361 and 0579–0392 into this 

information collection, 0579–0036. 

Upon the approval of this information 

collection, APHIS will retire 0579–0361 

and 0579–0392. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect health certificates, 

program of veterinary care, application 

for license and record of acquisition, 

disposition and transportation of 

animals, and itineraries, among other 

things. The information is used to 

ensure dealers, exhibitors, research 

facilities, carriers, etc., are in 

compliance with the AWA and 

regulations and standards promulgated 

under this authority of the Act. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Farms; Not-forprofits; Individuals; State, Local, and 

Tribal Governments.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Poultry and Pork Products from 

Mexico Transiting the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0145. 

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 Animal & Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) is the Agency 

charged with carrying out the disease 

prevention mission. This Agency 

regulates the importation of animals and 

animal products into the United States 

to guard against the introduction of 

exotic animal diseases. Disease 

prevention is the most effective method 

for maintaining a healthy animal 

population and enhancing the United 

States’ ability to compete in exporting 

animals and animal products. The 

regulations under which APHIS 

conducts disease prevention activities 

are contained in Title 9, Chapter D, 

parts 91 through 99 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to 

ensure that fresh pork and pork 

products, as well as poultry carcasses, 

parts, and products transiting the 

United States from Mexico pose a 

negligible risk of introducing classical 

swine fever and END into the United 

States. APHIS will also collect the name 

and address of the exporter, the origin 

and destination points of the 

commodities, how much and what type 

of commodity will be transiting; the 

intended port of entry, the date of 

transportation, the method and route of 

shipment, and other information 

concerning the transiting project that 

will enable APHIS to determine whether 

any disease introduction risk is 

associated with the transit and if so, 

what risk mitigation measures will be 

necessary to minimize that risk.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Pale Cyst Nematode; Quarantine 

and Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0322. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701– 

7772), The Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to prohibit or restrict the 

importation, entry, or movement of 

plants and plant pests to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. The Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) amended the ‘‘Domestic 

Quarantine Notices’’ in 7 CFR part 301, 

subpart titled ‘‘Potato Cyst Nematode’’ 

(§ .86 through 301.86.9, referred to as 

the regulations) by quarantining parts of 

Bingham and Bonneville Counties, ID, 

due to the discovery of the Potato Cyst 

Nematode there and establishing 

restrictions on the interstate movement 

of regulated articles from the 

quarantined area. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information using 

certificates, limited permits and 

compliance agreements to prevent the 

spread of PCN and to ensure that 

regulated articles can be moved safely 

from the quarantined area without 

spreading PCN. If APHIS did not collect 

this information, the spread of PCN in 

the United States could result in a loss 

of domestic or foreign makers for U.S. 

potatoes and other commodities. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Business or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 152.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Mangoes from 

Australia. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0391. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (PPA) (7 U.S.C 

7701—et seq.), the Secretary of 

Agriculture is authorized to carry out 

operations or measures to detect, 

eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or 

retard the spread of plant pests new to 

the United States or not known to be 

widely distributed throughout the 

United States. The regulations in 

‘‘Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables’’ (Title 

7, CFR 319.56) prohibit or restrict the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the U.S. from certain parts of the world. 

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is responsible for 

carrying out these duties. APHIS has 

amended the fruits and vegetables 

regulations to allow, under certain 

conditions, the importation into the U.S. 

of commercial consignments of fresh 

mangoes from Australia. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Conditions for the importation of fresh 

mangoes from Australia include 

requirements for pest exclusion at the 

production site, irradiation treatment, 

fruit fly trapping inside and outside the 

production site, pest-excluding 

packinghouse procedures, port-of-entry 

inspections and accompanied by a 

phytosanitary certificate issued by the 

National Plant Protection Organization 

of Australia with an additional 

declaration confirming that the mangoes 

have been produced in accordance with 

the requirements. APHIS will use this 

information to allow the importation of 

commercial consignments of fresh 

mangoes from Australia into the United 

States. Failing to collect this 

information would cripple APHIS 

ability to ensure that mangoes from 

Australia are not carrying plant pests. 

Description of Respondents: Federal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 20. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion.
