Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Live Swine Pork 

and Pork Products and Swine Semen 

from the European Union, 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0218, 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of health of animals under 

APHIS’ regulatory authority. The Law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) conducts disease 

prevention activities in accordance with 

regulations in Title 9, Chapter 1, 

Subchapter D, Parts 91 through 99, of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. These 

regulations govern the importation of 

animals, birds, and poultry products, 

and animal germplasm. Under these 

regulations, certain regions of the 

European Union are allowed to export 

into the United States live breeding 

swine, pork, and pork products and 

swine semen. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information 

concerning the origin and history of the 

items destined for importation into the 

United States. APHIS will also collect 

information to ensure that swine, pork 

and pork products, and swine semen 

pose a negligible risk of introducing 

exotic swine diseases into the United 

States. If the information is not collected 

it would cripple APHIS ability to ensure 

that swine, pork and pork products, and 

swine semen pose a minimal risk of 

introducing classical swine fever and 

other exotic animal disease into the 

United States.

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Food and Nutrition Service 

Evaluation of the Fresh Fruit and 

Vegetable Program (FFVP). 

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: The Food, 

Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 

(the Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 110–246) 

expanded the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable 

Program (FFVP) nationwide and 

directed the Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS) to conduct an evaluation resulting 

in a report to Congress in September 

2011. The FFVP administered by FNS 

has the broad goal of fighting childhood 

obesity and improving overall diet 

quality by teaching children healthier 

eating habits. Increased consumption of 

fruits and vegetables has been found to 

reduce long-term obesity risk. Specific 

objectives of the FFVP are: To create 

healthier school environments by 

providing healthier food choices; to 

expand the variety of fruits and 

vegetables children experience; to 

increase children’s fruit and vegetable 

consumption; and to make a difference 

in children’s diets to impact their 

present and future health. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

evaluation of the FFVP has two main 

objectives: (1) To examine how the 

FFVP is currently being implemented, 

and (2) to estimate program impacts on 

participating students. To address these 

objectives, FNS has 36 research 

questions that will be grouped into six 

broad research categories for the 

evaluation. The information gathered in 

the data collection activities will be 

used by FNS to determine if students at 

FFVP schools have higher fresh fruits 

and vegetable consumption than 

students at non-participating schools, 

and whether FFVP induced other 

dietary changes such as decreased 

consumption of less nutritious foods 

among students.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The purpose of this collection is to 

cover information requirements related 

to civil actions and claims involving 

current and former employees of the 

United States Patent and Trademark 

Office (USPTO). The rules for these 

legal processes may be found under 37 

CFR Part 104, which outlines 

procedures for service of process, 

demands for employee testimony and 

production of documents in legal 

proceedings, reports of unauthorized 

testimony, employee indemnification, 

and filing claims against the USPTO 

under the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 

U.S.C. 2672) and the corresponding 

Department of Justice regulations (28 

CFR Part 14). The public may also 

petition the USPTO Office of General 

Counsel under 37 CFR 104.3 to waive or 

suspend these rules in extraordinary 

cases. 

The procedures under 37 CFR Part 

104 ensure that service of process 

intended for current and former 

employees of the USPTO is handled 

properly. The USPTO will only accept 

service of process for an employee 

acting in an official capacity. This 

collection is necessary so that 

respondents or their representatives can 

serve a summons or complaint on the 

USPTO, demand employee testimony 

and documents related to a legal 

proceeding, or file a claim under the 

Federal Tort Claims Act. Respondents
