Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Conditions for Payment of 

Avian Influenza Indemnity Claims. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0440. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 

8301 et seq.) is the primary Federal law 

governing the protection of animal 

health. The law 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. U.S. 

animal health policy calls for 

elimination of the avian influenza virus 

(both highly pathogenic and low 

pathogenicity strains) when found 

through depopulation (i.e., euthanasia 

and disposal) of affected poultry. The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) works with State and 

local animal health officials to 

euthanize poultry, clean and disinfect 

premises and equipment, and test for 

elimination of the virus to ensure that 

farms can be safely restocked. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS Veterinary Services assists State 

and local animal health officials and 

poultry producers with creating and 

applying biosecurity and response 

plans, developing and enforcing flock 

plans and compliance agreements, 

preparing and processing appraisal and 

indemnity claims and worksheets, 

developing restocking and testing 

agreements, and submitting reports. 

Description of Respondents: State and 

local animal health officials and poultry 

producers. 

Number of Respondents: 18,950. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 48,714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Forest Service Pilot and Aircraft 

Record Forms. 

OMB Number: 0596–0015. 

Expiration Date of Approval: February 

28, 2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal with 

revisions of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: The Forest Service contracts 

with approximately 400 vendors a year 

for commercial aviation services 

utilized in resource protection and 

project management. In recent years, the 

total annual use of contract aircraft and 

pilots has exceeded 80,000 hours. In 

order to maintain an acceptable level of 

safety, preparedness, and costeffectiveness in aviation operations, 

Forest Service contracts include 

rigorous qualifications for pilots and 

specific condition, equipment, and 

performance requirements for aircraft as 

aviation operations are conducted under 

extremely adverse conditions of 

weather, terrain, turbulence, smoke 

reduced visibility, minimally improved 

landing areas, and congested airspace 

around wildfires. To ensure pilots and 

aircraft used for aviation operations 

meet specific Forest Service 

qualifications and requirements for 

aviation operations, prospective 

contract pilots complete one of the 

following Forest Service forms: 

• FS–5700–20—Airplane Pilot 

Qualifications and Approval Record 

• FS–5700–20a—Helicopter Pilot 

Qualifications and Approval Record 

Agency Aircraft Inspectors use the 

following forms when inspecting 

aircraft for contract compliance: 

• FS–5700–21—Airplane Data Record 

• FS–5700–21a—Helicopter Data 

Record 

Based upon approval(s) documented 

on the form(s), each contractor pilot and 

aircraft receive an approval card. Forest 

Service personnel verify possession of 

properly approved cards before using 

contracted pilots and aircraft. 

Information collected on pilot forms 

includes: 

• Name. 

• Address. 

• Certification numbers. 

• Employment history. 

• Medical Certification. 

• Airplane/helicopter certifications and 

specifications. 

• Accident/violation history. 

Without the collected information, 

Forest Service Pilot and Aircraft 

Inspectors and Forest Service 

Contracting Officers cannot determine 

whether contracted pilots and aircraft 

meet detailed qualification, equipment, 

and condition requirements essential to 

safe and effective accomplishment of 

Forest Service-specified flying missions. 

Without a reasonable basis to determine 

pilot qualifications and aircraft 

capability, Forest Service employees 

would be exposed to hazardous 

conditions. Data collected documents 

approval of contract pilots and aircraft 

for specific Forest Service aviation 

special missions. Information will be 

collected and reviewed by Pilot and 

Aircraft Inspectors to determine 

whether aircraft and/or pilot(s) meet all 

agency requirements in accordance with 

Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 5709.16, 

chapter 10, sections 15 and 16. Forest 

Service pilot and aircraft inspectors 

maintain collected information in Forest 

Service regional and national offices. 

The Forest Service, at times, shares the 

information with the Department of the 

Interior, Office of Aviation Services, as 

each organization accepts contract 

inspections conducted by the other. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 60 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Vendors/ 

Contractors. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 2,100. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 2,100 hours. 

Comment Is Invited: Comment is 

invited on: (1) Whether this collection 

of information is necessary for the stated 

purposes and proper performance of 

Agency functions, including whether 

the information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission request toward Office of 

Management and Budget approval.
