Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Communicable Diseases in 

Horses. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0127. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 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. 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. 

Veterinary Services (VS), a program 

within USDA’s Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS), is 

responsible for administering 

regulations intended to ensure that 

animals affected with EIA are identified 

through proficient and reliable testing 

and that appropriate reporting occurs. 

Further, regulations ensure animals 

testing positive are moved interstate in 

a way that does not endanger the health 

of the U.S. equine population. APHIS 

regulations at title 9, Code of Federal 

Regulations (9 CFR) 75.4 deal 

specifically with regulating the 

interstate movement of horses affected 

with equine infectious anemia (EIA). VS 

provides guidance on approval of 

laboratories, diagnostic facilities, and 

research facilities. Ensuring the safe 

movement of these horses requires the 

use of information collection activities, 

including an EIA laboratory test form, a 

certificate or permit for the interstate 

movement of an EIA reactor, a 

supplemental investigation form if a 

horse tests positive for EIA, agreements, 

request for hearing, and written 

notification of withdrawal of approval. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information collected from forms, 

APHIS VS 10–11, Equine Infectious 

Anemia Laboratory Test; VS 10–12, 

Equine Infectious Anemia Supplemental 

Investigation; and VS 1–27, Permit for 

the Movement of Restricted Animals,
