We are amending the Animal Welfare
regulations to reflect our policy of regulating wholesale dealers
of dogs intended for hunting, breeding, or security purposes. We
currently regulate these dealers under the same regulations in
place for wholesale dealers of other dogs. This action would make
the regulations consistent with our policy and would, therefore,
clarify licensing and inspection requirements for affected dealers
of dogs intended for hunting, breeding, or security
purposes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;

(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
