Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: National Animal Health 

Reporting System (NAHRS). 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0299. 

Summary of Collection: The National 

Animal Health Reporting System 

(NAHRS) was developed through a 

cooperative effort between the United 

States Animal Health Association, the 

American Association of Veterinary 

Laboratory Diagnosticians, and the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS). NAHRS provides an 

ongoing national measure of the health 

status of the nation’s livestock. The 

National Center for Animal Health 

Surveillance involvement in this 

voluntary monitoring activity is to 

facilitate standardization of the data 

throughout the United States and 

provide a central point for national 

collection. The evolving international 

trade arena and increased competition 

have heightened the need to have 

accurate, timely information to maintain 

and increase U.S. animal agriculture’s 

overseas market share, NAHRS provides 

information that helps meet this need. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

objective of the NAHRS is to collect data 

needed to report the presence of 

confirmed clinical disease in 

commercial livestock, poultry, and 

aquaculture species in the U.S. These 

reports are required for membership by 

the Office International des Epizooties, 

and to meet international trade 

reporting requirements for animal 

health. On a monthly basis State 

veterinarians in each of the 50 States are 

asked to complete the NAHRS 

Reportable Disease List Form. The form 

collects qualitative data from reporting 

States on the confirmed presence or 

absence of diseases, but does not collect 

or report the number of cases. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,400.
