Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Standards for Privately Owned 

Quarantine Facilities for Ruminants. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0232. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Animal Health Protection Act, the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is authorized among 

other things, to prohibit or restrict the 

importation of animals, animal 

products, and other articles into the 

United States to prevent the 

introduction of animal diseases and 

pests. The regulations in 9 CFR part 93 

govern the importation into the United 

States of specified animals and animal 

products in order to help prevent the 

introduction of various animal diseases 

into the United States. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect the following 

information to determine if permission 

will be granted to establish and operate 

a private quarantine facility for 

ruminants: (1) Application Letter; (2) 

Compliance Agreement; (3) Daily Log; 

and (4) Request for Variance. Without 

the information, APHIS would be forced 

to discontinue its program of allowing 

the operation of privately owned 

quarantine facilities for ruminants, a 

development that would hamper U.S. 

animal import activities. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit: State, Local or Tribal 

Government.
