OMB Control Number: 0579–0007. 

Summary of Collection: The National 

Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a 

voluntary Federal-State-industry 

program for controlling certain poultry 

diseases and for improving poultry 

breeding flocks and products through 

disease control techniques. It is 

authorized by the USDA Organic Act of 

1944, as amended (7 U.S.C. 429) and the 

cooperative work is carried out through 

memoranda of understanding with the 

participating States. Specific NPIP 

provisions are contained in Title 9, Parts 

56, 145, 146, and 147 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. The Veterinary 

Services (VS) unit of USDA’s Animal

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information using 

several information collection activities 

to continually improve the health of the 

U.S. poultry population and the quality 

of U.S. poultry products. If the 

information were collected less 

frequently or not collected, APHIS 

could not affectively monitor the health 

of the nation’s poultry population.
