SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Table Eggs From 

Regions Where Newcastle Disease 

Exists. 

OMB Number: 0579–0328. 

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) of the United States 

Department of Agriculture is authorized, 

among other things, to prohibit or 

restrict the importation and interstate 

movement of animals and animal 

products to prevent the introduction 

into and dissemination within the 

United States of livestock diseases and 

pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS 

regulates the importation of animals and 

animal products into the United States. 

The regulations for the importation of 

animals and animal products are 

contained in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98. 

In part 94, § 94.6 governs the 

importation of carcasses, meat, parts or 

products of carcasses, and eggs (other 

than hatching eggs) of poultry, game 

birds, and other birds to prevent the 

introduction of Newcastle disease and 

highly pathogenic avian influenza into 

the United States. Various conditions 

for the importation of table eggs from 

regions where Newcastle disease exists, 

including Mexico, apply and involve 

information collection activities, 

including the issuance of certificates 

and application of seals by foreign 

national or accredited veterinarians. 

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 1.5 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Salaried veterinary 

officer of the national government of the 

region of origin or a veterinarian 

accredited by the National Government 

of Mexico. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 2. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 3.0 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 3rd day of 

May 2013.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
