Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Horse Protection Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0056.
Summary of Collection: In 1970,
Congress passed the Horse Protection
Act (HPA, 15 U.S.C. 1821 et seq.), which
was enacted to prevent showing,
exhibiting, selling, or auctioning of
‘‘sore’’ horses, and certain
transportation of sore horses in
connection therewith, at horse shows,
horse exhibitions, horse sales, and horse
auctions. Soring is a process whereby
chemical or mechanical agents, or a
combination thereof, are applied to the
limbs of a horse in order to exaggerate
its gait. A ‘‘sore’’ horse is one that has
been subjected to prohibited practices
and, as a result, suffers, or can
reasonably be expected to suffer,
physical pain or distress, inflammation,
or lameness when walking, trotting or
otherwise moving. A horse that is
‘‘sore’’ is prohibited from entering or
participating in HPA-regulated events
because exhibitors, owners, and trainers
of such horse may obtain unfair
advantage over individuals exhibiting
horses that are not ‘‘sore.’’
Need and Use of the Information: To
carry out the Act, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) administers and enforces the
regulations in 9 CFR part 11. Part 11
delineates the responsibilities of horse
industry organizations (HIOs),
designated qualified persons (DQPs),
management of regulated horse events,
and persons who have control over
regulated horses.
An HIO wishing to certify a program
to license DQPs to inspect horses for
compliance under the HPA must satisfy
and abide by the requirements of the
HPA and regulations. After requesting
and receiving USDA certification from
APHIS, HIOs must maintain an
acceptable DQP program and
recordkeeping systems. Managers and
operators of HPA-regulated events may
appoint and retain the services of DQPs
to inspect and detect a horse that is sore
or otherwise noncompliant with the
HPA, and both managers and DQPs are
required to provide and/or maintain
certain information. Persons who own,
train, show, exhibit, sell, transport, or

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001

otherwise have custody of, or direction
or control over any horse shown,
exhibited, sold, or auctioned or entered
for the purpose of being shown,
exhibited, sold, or auctioned at any
horse show, horse exhibition, or horse
sale or auction must also satisfy and
abide by the requirements of the HPA
and regulations.
APHIS works with HIOs on an
ongoing basis to oversee their
performance under the HPA.
Throughout the year, APHIS uses
training sessions, conference calls, and
open letters to HIOs, event managers,
exhibitors, owners, trainers, custodians,
and farriers involved in HPA-covered
activities to provide communication and
feedback to address issues and
strengthen enforcement under the Act.
Data collected throughout the year from
within APHIS and from the HIOs and
event management provide an account
of the HIOs’ performance and progress
toward eliminating the soring of horses
and promoting fair competition. HIOs,
through their certified licensing
programs for DQPs, provide the primary
means of detecting sored horses.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Individuals and
households.
Number of Respondents: 2,004.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting.
Total Burden Hours: 3,374.
