minimum information necessary to 

effectively carry out the requirements of 

the orders, and their use is necessary to 

fulfill the intent of the Act as expressed 

in the orders rules and regulations. 

The information collected is used 

only by authorized employees of the 

committees and authorized 

representatives of the USDA, including 

AMS, Fruit and Vegetable Programs’ 

regional and headquarters’ staff. 

Authorized committee or board 

employees are the primary users of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Blood and Tissue Collection at 

Slaughtering and Rendering 

Establishments. 

OMB Number: 0579-0212. 

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), U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, is authorized to prevent the 

interstate spread of livestock diseases 

and for eradicating such diseases from 

the United States when feasible. In 

connection with this mission, the 

Veterinary Services (VS) program, 

APHIS, conducts animal disease 

surveillance programs, including 

diagnostic testing. 

The regulations in 9 CFR, subchapter 

C, part 71, ‘‘General Provisions,’’ provide 

for the collection of blood and tissue 

samples from livestock (horses, cattle, 

bison, captive cervids, sheep and goats, 

swine, and other farmed animals) and 

poultry at slaughter. Persons moving 

livestock and poultry interstate for 

slaughter may only move the animals to 

slaughtering or rendering 

establishments that have been listed by 

the Administrator of APHIS. Federal 

personnel, in conjunction with 

establishment personnel, are required to 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 121 / Thursday, June 24, 2010 / Notices 36061 

complete a listing agreement and a 

facility inspection report (VS Form 10- 

5). At APHIS’ discretion, slaughtering or 

rendering establishment personnel will 

collect blood and tissue samples to 

assess the prevalence of disease and to 

identify sources of disease. The test-atslaughter program necessitates the use 

of specimen submission and 

supplemental forms (VS Forms 10-4/10- 

4A). If APHIS denies or withdraws an 

establishment’s listing, the 

establishment may appeal the denial or 

withdrawal in writing to APHIS. 

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 

0.250395 hours per response. 

Respondents: Slaughtering and 

rendering establishment personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 66. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 162.8333. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 10,747. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,691 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 17th day 

of June 2010.
