SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Restricted, Prohibited, and 

Controlled Importation of Animal and 

Poultry Products and Byproducts Into 

the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0015. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Animal Health 

Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is the 

primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The AHPA 

gives the Secretary of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

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. 

Disease prevention is the most 

effective method for maintaining a 

healthy animal population and for 

enhancing USDA’s Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS’) 

ability to compete globally in animal 

and animal product and byproduct 

trade. In connection with this mission, 

APHIS enforces regulations regarding 

both the importation of controlled 

materials and the prevention of foreign 

animal disease incursions into the 

United States. These regulations are 

located in 9 CFR parts 94, 95, and 122. 

APHIS engages in a number of 

information collection activities to 

prevent or control the spread of 

livestock diseases via the restricted, 

prohibited, and controlled importation 

of animal and poultry products and 

byproducts into the United States, 

including, but not limited to, 

certificates, applications, agreements, 

appeals and cancellations of 

agreements, placards and statements, 

permissions to import, notifications, 

government seals, and marking 

requirements. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, 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 1.76 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers, exporters, 

processing operators, foreign federal 

governments, foreign veterinarians, port 

personnel, museums, educational 

institutions, transportation operators, 

and carrier personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 30,838. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 64,197. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 112,219 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.

April 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Irradiation Treatment; Location 

of Facilities in the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0383. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The regulations contained in 

7 CFR part 305 (referred to below as the 

regulations) set out the general 

requirements for performing treatments 

and certifying or approving treatment 

facilities for fruits, vegetables, and other 

articles to prevent the introduction or 

dissemination of plant pests or noxious 

weeds into or through the United States. 

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture administers these 

regulations. 

Section 305.9 provides generic criteria 

for new irradiation treatment facilities 

in the United States to be located 

anywhere in the United States, subject 

to approval. In addition, this section 

provides specific criteria for new 

irradiation treatment facilities located in 

the States of Alabama, Arizona, 

California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, 

Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New 

Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, 

Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. 

The information collection activities 

associated with the location of 

irradiation facilities include request for 

initial certification and inspection of 

facility, certification and recertification, 

denial and withdrawal of certification, 

compliance agreements, irradiation 

facilities treating imported articles, 

irradiation treatment framework 

equivalency workplan, irradiation 

facilities notification, recordkeeping, 

facility contingency plan, letter of 

concurrence or non-agreement, 

treatment arrangements, pest 

management plan, and facility layout 

map. In addition, each facility must 

provide APHIS with an updated map 

identifying places where horticultural or 

other crops are grown within 4-square 

miles of the facility. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, 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:

information is necessary for the proper

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 3.13 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Irradiation facilities in 

the United States, State governments, 

importers, and foreign government and 

national plant protection organization 

officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 28. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 12. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 315. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 988 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
