SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Animal Welfare. 

OMB Number: 0579–0093. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The regulations in 9 CFR 

parts 1 through 3 were promulgated 

under the Animal Welfare Act (the Act) 

(7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.) to ensure the 

humane handling, care, treatment, and 

transportation of animals covered under 

the Act. The Act and regulations are 

enforced by the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service. 

The regulations in 9 CFR part 3, 

subparts A, D, and E, cover dogs and 

cats, nonhuman primates, and marine 

mammals, respectively. Subparts B and 

C cover rabbits, guinea pigs, and 

hamsters. Subpart F of 9 CFR part 3 

covers warmblooded animals other than 

dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, marine 

mammals, rabbits, guinea pigs, and 

hamsters. Regulated facilities are 

required to keep certain records and 

provide specific information regarding 

health and feeding, housing, space, 

transportation, exercise, perimeter 

fencing, marine mammal interactive 

programs, and programs of veterinary 

care. We review this information to 

evaluate program compliance. 

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 

0.291821788 hour per response. 

Respondents: Dealers, research 

facilities, exhibitors, carriers, and 

immediate handlers. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 11,687. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 14.73235219. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 172,177. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 50,245 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 6th day of 

June 2012. 

Kevin Shea, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–43–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 139—Sierra Vista, 

AZ; Application for Reorganization 

Under Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Sierra Vista Economic 

Development Foundation, Inc., grantee 

of FTZ 139, requesting authority to 

reorganize the zone under the 

alternative site framework (ASF) 

adopted by the Board (15 CFR Sec. 

400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for 

grantees for the establishment or 

reorganization of general-purpose zones 

and can permit significantly greater 

flexibility in the designation of new 

subzones or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites 

for operators/users located within a 

grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of 

the Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a general-purpose 

zone project. The application was 

submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade 

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a81u), and the regulations of the Board 

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed 

on June 5, 2012. 

FTZ 139 was approved by the Board 

on March 13, 1987 (Board Order 352, 52 

FR 9320, 03/24/1987). The current zone 

project includes the following site: Site 

1 (4.7 acres)—Sierra Vista Commerce 

Center, Highway 90, Sierra Vista. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Cochise 

County, Arizona, as described in the 

application. If approved, the grantee
