## Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

*Title:*                     Foot-and-Mouth Disease; Prohibition on Importation of Farm Equipment.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0195.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. Regulations contained in 9 CFR chapter 1, subchapter D, parts 91 through 99 prohibits the importation of used farm equipment into the United States from regions in which foot-and-mouth disease or rinderpest exist, unless the equipment has been stream-cleaned prior to export to the United States so that it is free of exposed dirt and other particulate matter. 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 exporting animals and animal products.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS will collect information through the use of a certification statement completed by the farm equipment exporter and signed by an authorized official of the national animal health service of the region of origin, stating that the steam-cleaning of the equipment has been done. This is necessary to help prevent the introduction of food-and-mouth disease into the United States. If the information were not collected APHIS would be forced to discontinue the importation of any used farm equipment from FMD affected regions, a development that could have a damaging financial impact on exporters and importers of this equipment.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit; Federal Government.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     132.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     182.
