Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 25 / Wednesday, February 6, 2019 / Notices

OMB Control Number: 0579–0232.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to, among other things, prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products into the United States to
prevent the introduction of animal
diseases and pests.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
govern the importation into the United
States of specified animals and animal
products in order to help prevent the
introduction of various animal diseases
into the United States. The regulations
in part 93 require, among other things,
that certain animals, as a condition of
entry, be quarantined upon arrival in
the United States. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service operates
animal quarantine facilities and also
authorizes the use of quarantine
facilities that are privately owned and
operated for certain animal
importations.
The regulations in subpart D of part
93 (9 CFR 93.400 through 93.436)
pertain to the importation of ruminants.
Ruminants include all animals that
chew the cud, such as cattle, buffaloes,
sheep, goats, deer, antelopes, camels,
llamas, and giraffes. Ruminants
imported into the United States must be
quarantined upon arrival for at least 30
days, with certain exceptions. However,
ruminants from Canada and Mexico are
not subject to this quarantine.
The regulations for privately owned
quarantine facilities for ruminants
require the use of certain information
collection activities, including an
application for facility approval, a
compliance agreement explaining the
conditions under which the facility
must be operated, creation and
maintenance of a daily log of persons
entering and leaving the facility while
quarantine is in process, request for
variance, a manual of standard
operating procedures, and maintenance
of certain records covering quarantine
operations.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 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.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 1.07 hours per
response.
Respondents: Owners/operators of
privately owned quarantine facilities for
ruminants.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 12.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 60.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 64 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 30th day of
January 2019.

and cooperative agreements to import or
handle regulated articles or to move
regulated articles interstate,
amendments and appeals, consultations,
site assessments, inspections,
certifications, labeling of containers and
bags, and recordkeeping. These
information collection activities allow
APHIS to evaluate the risks associated
with the importation or interstate
movement of plant pests, noxious
weeds, and soil, and also assist with
developing risk mitigations, if
necessary, for the importation or
interstate movement of plant pests,
noxious weeds, and soil.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
