November 21, 2014. 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments 

regarding (a) whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of burden including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by December 26, 

2014 will be considered. Written 

comments should be addressed to: Desk 

Officer for Agriculture, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), New Executive Office Building, 

725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 

20502. Commenters are encouraged to 

submit their comments to OMB via 

email to: OIRA_Submission@

OMB.EOP.GOV or fax (202) 395–5806 

and to Departmental Clearance Office, 

USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, 

Washington, DC 20250–7602. Copies of 

the submission(s) may be obtained by 

calling (202) 720–8958. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

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.
