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. In addition, under 

the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 

(7 U.S.C. 1622), the APHIS

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

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 that 

pertain 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.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
