SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: African Swine Fever; 

Importation of Live Dogs for Resale 

From Regions Where African Swine 

Fever Exists or is Reasonably Believed 

to Exist. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0478. 

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 Secretary of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) is authorized to 

protect the health of the livestock, 

poultry, and aquaculture populations in 

the United States by preventing the 

introduction and interstate spread of 

serious diseases and pests of livestock, 

poultry, and aquaculture, and for 

eradicating such diseases and pests from 

the United States, when feasible. Within 

the USDA, this authority and mission is 

delegated to the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS). 

Within APHIS, Veterinary Services is 

tasked with, among other things, 

preventing foreign animal disease 

outbreaks in the United States, and 

monitoring, controlling, and eliminating 

a disease outbreak should one occur. In 

the past several years, there have been 

significant worldwide outbreaks of 

African swine fever (ASF). ASF is a

highly contagious and deadly viral 

disease affecting domestic and feral 

(wild) pigs. The disease has not been 

detected in the United States; however, 

APHIS is committed to working with 

State and industry partners to keep the 

disease out of the country. 

APHIS has determined that dogs 

imported from ASF-affected countries 

for resale purposes, along with their 

bedding, represent a possible pathway 

for the introduction of disease. To block 

this pathway, APHIS issued a Federal 

Order (DA–2021–01) 1 imposing several 

restrictions on the importation of dogs 

for resale from regions where ASF exists 

or is reasonably believed to exist. 

Importers will need to verify that they 

have met these restrictions by 

completing and submitting a Dog Import 

Record that will record information 

regarding the dogs’ characteristics, 

identification, origin, entry into the 

United States, disposition of their 

bedding and packing material, and 

confirmation of bathing. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 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 0.5 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers and animal 

breeders. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 200. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 9. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,800. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 900 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 25th day of 

August 2021. 

Michael Watson, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
