Title: Offeror Information for Personal 

Services Contracts With Individuals. 

Type of Review: Renewal of a 

currently approved collection. 

Purpose: United States Agency for 

International Development must collect 

information for reporting purposes to 

Congress and the Office of Acquisition

Annual Reporting Burden: 

U.S. Respondents: 12,600. 

Total Annual U.S. Responses: 12,600. 

Total Annual Hours Requested: 

12,600 hours. 

The burden estimate is based on the 

average number of PSC awards made 

over the past three years, which is 600. 

The average number of offerors received 

for each solicitation is 21. Therefore, the 

total number of offers received is 600 × 

21=12,600. The amount of time 

estimated to complete the form is one 

hour. 

The burden estimate is based on the 

average number of PSC awards made 

over the past three years, which is 600. 

The average number of offers received is 

600. The average number of offers 

received for each solicitation is 21. 

Therefore, the total number of offers 

received is 600 × 21 = 12,600. The 

estimated time is based on the amount 

of time needed to read, provide 

employment information and 

experience needed to apply for a 

position. We estimate the annual cost to 

respondents to be about $652,932. The 

respondents are mostly individuals of 

various sources submitting offers for a 

position that average the salary of a 

GS13 step 5 which averages $51.82/hr.

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding; 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; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to

Comments regarding this information

Animal & Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Poultry Meat and 

Other Poultry Products from Sinaloa 

and Sonora, Mexico; Poultry and Pork 

Transiting the United States from 

Mexico. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0144. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act of 2002 (Title X, 

Subtitle E, Sec. 10401–18 of PL 107– 

171) is the primary Federal law 

governing the protection of animal 

health. Disease prevention is the most 

effective method for maintaining a 

healthy animal population and for

enhancing the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary 

Services’ ability to allow United States 

animal producers to compete in the 

world market of animal and animal 

product trade. APHIS currently has 

regulations in place that restrict the 

importation of poultry meat and other 

poultry products from Mexico due to 

the presence of Newcastle Disease (ND) 

in that country. However, APHIS allows 

the importation of poultry meat and 

poultry products from the Mexican 

States of Sinaloa and Sonora because 

APHIS has determined that poultry 

meat and products from these two 

Mexican States pose a negligible risk of 

introducing ND into the United States. 

To ensure that these items are safe for 

importation, APHIS requires that certain 

data appear on the foreign meat 

inspection certificate that accompanies 

the poultry meat and other poultry 

products from Sinaloa and Sonora to the 

United States. APHIS also requires that 

serial numbered seals be applied to 

containers carrying the poultry meat 

and other poultry products. In addition, 

there is an application and approval 

process required for the transit of pork 

and pork products and poultry 

carcasses, parts, or products (except 

eggs and egg products). APHIS also 

requires a pre-arrival notification to 

alert Customs & Boarder Protection 

Inspectors, along with an emergency 

action notice. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to certify 

that the poultry meat or other poultry 

products were (1) derived from poultry 

born and raised in commercial breeding 

establishments in Sinaloa and Sonora; 

(2) derived from poultry that were 

slaughtered in Sinaloa or Sonora in a 

Federally-inspected slaughter plant 

approved to export these commodities 

to the united States in accordance with 

Food Safety & Inspection regulations; (3) 

processed at a Federally inspected 

processing plant in Sinaloa or Sonora; 

and (4) kept out of contact with poultry 

from any other State within Mexico. 

APHIS will also collect information to 

ensure that the poultry meat or poultry 

products from Sinaloa and Sonora pose 

the most negligible risk possible for 

introducing ND into the United States. 

If the information was collected less 

frequently or not collected at all, it 

would significantly cripple APHIS’ 

ability to ensure that various 

commodities from certain Mexican 

States pose a negligible risk of 

introducing CSF or ND into the United 

States. This lack of information would 

make a disease incursion event much 

more likely and could seriously harm 

the U.S. pork and poultry industries.

or other for-profit; Federal Government.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Approval of Laboratories for 

Conducting Aquatic Animal Tests for 

Export Health Certificates. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0429. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (APHA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The AHPA 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Secretary may also prohibit or 

restrict import or export of any animal 

or related material if necessary, to 

prevent the spread of any livestock or 

poultry pest or disease. Disease 

prevention is the most effective method 

for maintaining a healthy animal 

population and enhancing the ability of 

U.S. producers to compete in the global 

market of animal and animal product 

trade. Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) regulations 

do not require APHIS approval or 

certification for laboratories conducting 

disease tests for the export of 

aquaculture animals. However, as a 

condition of entry, some countries 

require testing results from a laboratory 

approved by the competent authority, in 

this case APHIS. State, university, and 

private laboratories can voluntarily seek 

approval to test for specific diseases. 

APHIS provides laboratory approval as 

a service to U.S. exporters who ship 

aquaculture animals to countries 

requiring this certification. The AHPA is 

contained in Title X, Subtitle E, 

Sections 10401–18 of Public Law 107– 

171, May 13, 2002, the Farm Security 

and Rural Investment Act of 2002. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

approval of laboratories to conduct tests 

for the export of aquaculture animals 

requires the use of certain information 

collection activities including 

notification of intent to request 

approval, application for APHIS 

approval, protocol statement, 

submission and recordkeeping of 

sample copies of diagnostic reports, 

quality assurance/control plans and 

their recordkeeping, notification of 

proposed changes to assay protocols, 

recordkeeping of supporting assay 

documentation, and request for removal 

of approved status. If APHIS did not 

collect this information, U.S. producers 

would be prevented from exporting 

aquaculture animals and products to 

countries that specifically require 

APHIS approved laboratories to certify 

they have performed aquatic animal 

pathogen detection procedures. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profits; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 8. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,462.
