Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Environmental Monitoring 

Form. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0117. 

Summary of Collection: The mission 

of the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) is to provide 

leadership in ensuring the health and 

care of animals and plants, to improve 

the agricultural productivity and 

competitiveness, and to contribute to 

the national economy and the public 

health. The National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq., and the regulations of the Council 

on Environmental Quality, which 

implements the procedural aspects of 

NEPA (40 CFR 1500–1508). APHIS’ 

regulations require APHIS to implement 

environmental monitoring for certain 

activities conducted for pest and 

disease, control and eradication 

programs. APHIS Form 2060, 

Environmental Monitoring Form, will 

be used to collect information 

concerning the effects of pesticide used 

in sensitive habitats. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information on the 

number of collected samples, 

description of the samples, the 

environmental conditions at the 

collection site including wind speed 

and direction, temperature, humidity of 

rainfall, and topography. The 

supporting information contained on 

the APHIS form 2060 is vital for 

interpreting the laboratory tests APHIS 

conducts on its collected samples. 

Failure to collect this information 

would prevent APHIS from actively 

monitoring the effects of pesticides in 

areas where the inappropriate use of 

these chemicals could eventually 

produce disastrous results for 

vulnerable habitats and species. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local or Tribal Government; individuals 

or households; farms. 

Number of Respondents: 150. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,500. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Export Certification, 

Accreditation of Non-Government 

Facilities. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0130. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Department of Agriculture is 

responsible for preventing plant 

diseases or insect pests from entering 

the United States, as well as, the spread 

of pests not widely distributed in the 

United States, and eradicating those 

imported when eradication is feasible.
