Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Interstate Movement of Sheep 

and Goats; Recordkeeping for Approved 

Livestock Marketing Facilities and 

Slaughtering and Rendering 

Establishments. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0258. 

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. 

Disease surveillance and prevention is 

the most effective method for 

maintaining a healthy animal 

population and enhancing the ability of 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) to help U.S. producers 

compete in the world market of animal 

and animal product trade. The 

Veterinary Services (VS) program of 

APHIS is the unit responsible for 

carrying out the disease prevention 

mission. One of the APHIS disease 

eradication programs addresses scrapie. 

Scrapie is a progressive, degenerative, 

and eventually fatal disease affecting the 

central nervous system of sheep and 

goats. APHIS’ regulations 9 CFR 71.20 

and 9 CFR 71.21 regarding the 

movement of livestock to require 

approved livestock auction market 

facilities, slaughtering establishments, 

and rendering establishments to 

maintain certain records for 5 years (2 

years if the records regard only swine or 

poultry). 

APHIS is merging the information 

collection 0579–0342, Recordkeeping 

for Approved Livestock Facilities, 

Slaughtering, and Rendering 

Establishments, into this package 0579– 

0258. These collections include the 

same regulations; therefore, it will be 

more efficient to have them 

consolidated into one collection. 

Collection 0579–0342 will be 

discontinued once this collection is 

approved. 

Need and Use of the Information: In 

order for APHIS’ Disease prevention 

program to be effective, its animal 

identification, recordkeeping, and other 

requirements must be carried out at 

livestock facilities that handle livestock 

and poultry moving in interstate 

commerce. The individual legally 

responsible for the day-to-day operation 

of the facility must execute an Approval 

of Livestock Facilities Agreement with 

APHIS. The information restricts the 

interstate movement of livestock within 

the United States to control diseases of 

concern and approve livestock facilities 

and slaughtering and rendering 

establishments that handle livestock 

moving in interstate commerce. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 234. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 604.
