Form ASF VSDIR 1


August 4, 2021



The APHIS Animal Welfare program is responsible for issuing the permit referenced in the ICR’s ASF VSDIR 1 form. The APHIS Veterinary Services program made several edits to the ASF VSDIR 1 to align its processing instructions with those used by Animal Welfare.


Changes include adding the form title to the first page to integrate the guidance information with the form. References to emailing the form to APHIS were replaced with instructions to upload the form in the permit requestor’s eFile account. Additional text was added to the guidance and is indicated in bold italics, below:


“Thank you for your recent import permit application requesting permission from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to import dog(s) for resale into the United States. Dogs for resale include any transfer of ownership or control of an imported dog at least 6 months of age to another person, for more than de minimis consideration. Your application, submitted to APHIS’ Animal Care program, indicates the dog(s) are coming from a country affected by African swine fever (ASF). As a result, you must meet Animal Care’s requirements along with the requirements established by APHIS’ Veterinary Services program to prevent the introduction of disease (hyperlink to VS requirements web page). If your import permit application is approved, then when your permit is issued, you will receive an email to remind you about Veterinary Services’ requirements.”


The reference to the Federal Order on page 2 was corrected to read August 2, 2021.


Other changes include spacing and alignment edits to the different elements within the form.


None of these changes affect the burden estimates.
