Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Highly Pathogenic Avian 

Influenza Subtype HSNI. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0245. 

Summary of Collection: Title 7 U.S.C. 

8301 the Animal Protection Act 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

to take such measures to prevent the 

introduction or dissemination of any 

contagious or communicable disease of 

animal or live poultry from a foreign 

country into the United States or from 

one State to another. Disease prevention 

is the most effective method for 

maintaining a healthy animal 

population and enhancing the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) ability to compete in the world 

market of animal and animal product 

trade. Highly pathogenic avian 

influenza is an extremely infectious and 

fatal form of influenza in chickens and 

can strike poultry quickly without any 

warning signs. APHIS will collect 

information using forms VS 17–129, 17– 

8, and 16–3. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to 

ensure that U.S. origin pet birds, 

performing or theatrical birds and 

poultry undergo appropriate 

examinations before entering the United 

States. Without the information, it 

would be impossible for APHIS to 

establish an effective line of defense 

against an introduction of highly 

pathogenic avian influenza. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households; Business or 

other for-profit; Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 5,180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Codex Alimentarius (Codex) was 

established in 1963 by two United 

Nations organizations, the Food and 

Agriculture Organization and the World 

Health Organization. Through adoption 

of food standards, codes of practice, and 

other guidelines developed by its 

committees, and by promoting their 

adoption and implementation by 

governments, Codex seeks to protect the 

health of consumers and ensure fair 

practices are used in trade. 

The Codex Committee on Food 

Hygiene was established to elaborate 

codes, standards and related texts for 

food hygiene. The Committee is hosted 

by the United States.
