## 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.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     3.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     170.
