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 (USDA) is authorized, among other things, to prohibit or restrict the interstate movement of animals and animal products to prevent the dissemination within the United States of animal diseases and pests of livestock and to conduct programs to detect, control, and eradicate pests and diseases of livestock.

### 23273 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 26, 2011 / Notices

Administrator has authority with respect to voluntary inspection and certification of animal products and the inspection, testing, treatment, and certification of animals.

APHIS regulations in 9 CFR part 149 contain certification requirements for the voluntary Trichinae Certification Program, a cooperative effort by APHIS and the U.S. pork industry. The program is intended to enhance the ability of swine producers, as well as slaughter facilities and other persons that handle or process swine from pork production sites that have been certified under the program, to export fresh pork and products to foreign markets.

The current collection activities for the certification program include animal disposal plans, animal movement records, feed mill quality assurance affidavits, logbooks, recordkeeping, test results, documented procedures at slaughter facilities for certified swine and edible pork products, and written procedures at approved laboratories thatpertain to the performance of processverification testing. Other activities being combined with the current collection are spot audits; notification to APHIS of program withdrawal; and requests to APHIS for temporary program withdrawal, review of audit results or other determination, and certification site audits. Although we will collect additional information, we project our burden to decrease due to the decrease in the number of annual respondents.

We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities for 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 0.5280 hours per response.

Respondents: Auditors (accredited veterinarians and State animal health officials), pork producers, mill managers, slaughter facility personnel, and personnel from approved laboratories.

Estimated annual number of respondents: 1,250.

Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 11.3512.

Estimated annual number of
responses: 14,189.

Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 7,492 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 21st day of April 2011. Kevin Shea, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
