SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Nomination Request Form; 

Animal Disease Training. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0353. 

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 U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is authorized, among 

other things, to protect the health of 

U.S. livestock and poultry populations 

by preventing the introduction and 

interstate spread of serious diseases and 

pests of livestock and by eradicating 

such diseases from the United States 

when feasible. In connection with this 

mission, APHIS’ Veterinary Services 

(VS) program provides vital animal 

disease training. 

VS Professional People Training 

provides training on responses to 

animal disease events, sample collection 

procedures, and disease mitigation and 

eradication activities to private 

veterinarians and State, Tribal, military, 

international, industry, and university 

personnel. The courses are designed to 

prepare participants for activities 

dealing with a U.S. animal disease 

incident. Individuals who wish to 

attend animal disease-related training 

must submit a Nomination Request 

Form (VS Form 1–5) to VS to help the 

program coordinate courses and select 

participants. VS develops rosters with 

course participants’ names and contact 

information to notify them of future 

training courses and to encourage 

contact among participants throughout 

their careers. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of this information 

collection activity 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 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.33 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: State, Tribal, military, 

international, industry, and university 

personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 350. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 350. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 116 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 23rd day of 

July 2021. 

Michael Watson, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
