Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Imported Seed and Screening. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0124. 

Summary of Collection: The United 

States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) is responsible for preventing 

plant diseases or insect pests from 

entering the United States, preventing 

the spread of pests not widely 

distributed in the United States, and 

eradicating those imported pests when 

eradication is feasible. Under the 

authority of the Federal Seed Act of 

1939, as amended, the USDA regulates 

the importation and interstate 

movement of certain agricultural and 

vegetable seeds. The Plant Protection & 

Quarantine Division of USDA’s Animal 

& Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) has established a seed analysis 

program with Canada that allows U.S. 

companies that import seed for cleaning 

or processing, to enter into compliance 

agreements with APHIS. This program 

eliminates the need for sampling 

shipments of Canadian-origin seed at 

the border, and allows certain seed 

importers to clean seed without the 

direct supervision of an APHIS 

inspector. APHIS will collect 

information using forms PPQ 925, Seed 

Analysis Certificate and PPQ 519, 

Compliance Agreement, and other 

information activities to enable the 

importation of seeds for cleaning and 

processing so that they can enter into 

compliance agreements with USDA. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information from 

PPQ 925 and PPQ 519 to ensure that 

imported seeds do not pose a health 

threat to U.S. agriculture. If the 

information were not collected there 

would be no way of preventing noxious 

weeds from entering the United States.

Title: National Animal Health 

Monitoring System (NAHMS); Equine 

Herpesvirus Study. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0399. 

Summary of Collection: Collection 

and dissemination of animal health data 

and information is mandated by 7 

U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of 

1884, which established the precursor of

methods were further mandated by 7 

U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health 

Protection Act, ‘‘Detection, Control, and 

Eradication of Diseases and Pests,’’ May 

13, 2002. APHIS is conducting an 

Equine Herpesvirus 

Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) study as 

part of an ongoing series of NAHMS 

studies on the U.S. livestock population. 

The purpose of the study is to collect 

information using questionnaires to 

identify risk factors for the neurologic 

form of equine herpesvirus (EHV–1) in 

horses called EHM. EHV–1 is an 

infection of horses that can cause
