SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Animal Welfare.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0036.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Welfare
Act (AWA, 7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.), the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to
promulgate standards and other
requirements governing the humane
handling, care, treatment, and
transportation of certain animals by
dealers, exhibitors, operators of auction
sales, research facilities, carriers and
intermediate handlers. The Secretary
has delegated responsibility for
administering the AWA to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), Animal Care.
Definitions, regulations, and
standards established under the AWA
are contained in 9 CFR parts 1, 2, and
3 (referred to below as the regulations).
Part 1 contains definitions for terms
used in parts 2 and 3. Part 2 provides
administrative requirements and sets
forth institutional responsibilities for
regulated parties, including licensing
requirements for dealers, exhibitors, and
operators of auction sales. Dealers,
exhibitors, and operators of auction
sales are required to comply in all
respects with the regulations and
standards (9 CFR 2.100(a)) and to allow
APHIS officials access to their place of
business, facilities, animals, and records
to inspect for compliance (9 CFR 2.126).
Part 3 provides standards for the
humane handling, care, treatment, and
transportation of covered animals. Part
3 consists of subparts A through E,
which contain specific standards for
dogs and cats, guinea pigs and hamsters,
rabbits, nonhuman primates, and

PO 00000

Frm 00001

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

marine mammals, respectively, and
subpart F, which sets forth general
standards for warmblooded animals not
otherwise specified in part 3.
Administering the AWA requires the
use of several information collection
activities such as license applications
and renewals, which now include a
request to identify whether the business
mailing address is a personal residence
or not a personal residence; registration
applications and updates; annual
reports; acknowledgement of regulations
and standards; inspections; requests;
notifications; agreements; plans; written
program of veterinary care and health
records; itineraries; applications and
permits; records of acquisition,
disposition, or transport of animals;
official identification; variances;
protocols; health certificates;
complaints; marking requirements; and
recordkeeping.
These information collection activity
requirements provide APHIS with the
data necessary for the review and
evaluation of program compliance by
regulated facilities, and they provide a
workable enforcement system to carry
out the requirements of the AWA and
the intent of Congress without resorting
to more detailed and stringent
regulations and standards that could be
more burdensome to regulated facilities.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.

The
Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement
Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed
the Secretary of Agriculture to publish
a six month advance notice in the
Federal Register whenever new
recreation fee areas are established.
These new fees will be reviewed by the
Western Montana Bureau of Land
Management Resource Advisory
Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation.
The Forest proposes a $50/night fee
for Lost Horse Guard Station, which
would open this site for public rental.
The Forest also proposes a $10/night fee
for both Slate Creek and Sam Billings
Memorial campgrounds. Lost Horse
Guard Station was built in 1935 and
listed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1989. It lies at the
head of Lost Horse Creek, near the
Montana/Idaho divide. It is near a
variety of recreation opportunities such
as hiking, camping, horseback riding,
non-motorized water sports, hunting,
backcountry skiing, and snowmobiling
at Twin Lakes. The rustic guard station
can sleep up to eight people.
Slate Creek Campground also has a
new group gathering area and Sam
Billings Memorial Campground has new
horse camping sites. Reasonable fees,
paid by users of these sites and services,
will help ensure that the Forest can
continue maintaining and improving the
sites for future generations.
A business analysis of the proposed
new fee sites listed has shown that
people desire having a variety of
recreation opportunities and
experiences on the Bitterroot National
Forest, such as group camping, cabin
and lookout rentals and single family
camping. A market analysis of
surrounding recreation sites with
similar amenities indicates that the
proposed fees are comparable and
reasonable.
Advance reservations for the Lost
Horse Guard Station will be available
through www.recreation.gov or by
calling 1–877–444–6777. The National
Recreation Reservation Service charges
a $10 fee for reservations.
