SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; 

Importation of Animals and Animal 

Products. 

OMB Number: 0579–0234. 

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 U.S. Department 

of Agriculture regulates the importation 

of animals and animal products into the 

United States to guard against the 

introduction of animal diseases. The 

regulations in 9 CFR parts 93, 94, 95, 

and 96 (referred to below as the 

regulations) govern the importation of 

certain animals, birds, poultry, meat, 

other animal products and byproducts, 

hay, and straw into the United States in 

order to prevent the introduction of 

various animal diseases, including 

bovine spongiform encephalopathy 

(BSE), a chronic degenerative disease 

affecting the central nervous system of 

cattle. 

To help ensure that BSE is not 

introduced into the United States, the 

regulations allow, under specified 

conditions, the importation of certain 

live ruminants and ruminant products 

and byproducts. These requirements 

necessitate the use of several 

information collection activities, 

including VS Form 16–3, permit 

application; certification statements for 

the importation of ruminants and 

ruminant products; certificate for 

inedible processed animal origin 

materials and products from BSE-free 

regions; cooperative agreements with 

foreign facilities that process and store 

regulated materials and products 

destined for importation into the United 

States; VS Form 17–33, Animals 

Imported for Immediate Slaughter; the 

placing of seals on conveyances from 

the exporting region; agreement with 

slaughter facilities on use of seals on 

conveyances transporting animals from 

BSE minimal-risk regions; and 

notification of designated individuals 

authorized to break seals. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (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 

0.6039374 hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. importers; herd 

owners; foreign exporters; foreign 

salaried veterinary officials of exporting 

regions; APHIS accredited veterinarians; 

slaughter facility personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 5,949. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 21.695747. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 129,068. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 77,949 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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 10th day of 

June 2011.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Notice of Availability of a Pest Risk 

Analysis for Interstate Movement of 

Rambutan From Puerto Rico Into the 

Continental United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have prepared a pest risk 

analysis that evaluates the risks 

associated with the interstate movement 

into the continental United States of 

fresh rambutan fruit from Puerto Rico. 

Based on that analysis, we believe that 

the application of one or more 

designated phytosanitary measures will 

be sufficient to mitigate the risks of 

introducing or disseminating plant pests 

or noxious weeds via the interstate 

movement of rambutan from Puerto 

Rico. We are making the pest risk 

analysis available to the public for 

review and comment.
