SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Communicable Diseases in

Horses.

OMB Number: 0579–0127.

Expiration Date of Approval: January

31, 2001.

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an

expired information collection.

Abstract: The Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service regulates the

interstate movement of horses that have

tested positive for equine infectious

anemia (EIA) in order to prevent the

spread of this disease (9 CFR 75.4).

Enforcing these regulations requires us

to engage in a number of information

gathering activities that enable us to

accurately identify and track EIA

reactors as they move interstate.

Specifically, this regulatory program

requires the use of an official EIA test,

a certificate allowing the interstate

movement of an EIA reactor, and

identification of the reactor. The

program also involves the services of

accredited veterinarians, State

veterinary officials, laboratory/

diagnostic/research facility personnel,

and stockyard personnel, all of whom

must engage in various recordkeeping

and information collection activities.

We are asking the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) to

approve our use of these information

collection activities in connection with

our EIA program for 3 years.

The purpose of this notice is to solicit

comments from the public (as well as

affected agencies) concerning this

information collection activity. These

comments will help us:

(1) Evaluate whether the information

collection is necessary for the proper

performance of our agency’s functions,

including whether the information will

have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our

estimate of the burden of the

information collection, 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

reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average

0.0912 hours per response.

Respondents: State and Federal

veterinarians, accredited veterinarians,

laboratory/diagnostic/research facility

personnel, stockyard personnel, animal

owners, and exporters.

Estimated annual number of

respondents: 10,053.

Estimated annual number of

responses per respondent: 107.

Estimated annual number of

responses: 1,075,003.
