Controlled Animal and Poultry Products 

and Byproducts, Organisms, and

OMB Control Number: 0579–0015. 

Summary of Collection: 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 animals and animal products 

trade. The Veterinary Service, a program 

in APHIS, enforces regulations that 

pertain to the importation of restricted 

animal byproducts and controlled 

materials into the United States and the 

prevention of foreign animal disease 

incursions into the United States. The 

regulations under which APHIS 

conducts these disease prevention 

activities are contained in Title 9, 

Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Parts 94, 95, 

and 122 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. APHIS collects information 

using several forms. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to 

ensure that imported items do not 

present a disease risk to the livestock 

and poultry populations of the United 

States. The information collected will 

provide APHIS with critical information 

concerning the origin and history of the 

items destined for importation into the 

United States. Without the information, 

the United States would be at risk of an 

exotic disease incursion.
