VS Form 1-27 Permit for Movement of Restricted Animals

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control numbers for this information collection are 0579-0047, 0579-0065, 0579-0101, 0579-0127, 0579-0146, 05790338, and 0579-0393. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average between 10 minutes and 2 hours per response, including time to
review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review the collection of information.
This permit identifies restricted animals moved for quarantine/slaughter purposes. The information is needed to identify disease infected/exposed animals
that are moved to specific locations in order to control and prevent spread of the disease (9 CFR 71 through 85).

To the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection agency, which inspects shipments that arrive
at United States ports for compliance with permit conditions;
To cooperative Federal, State, and local government officials, employees, or contractors, and other parties engaged to
assist in administering the program. Such contractors and other parties will be bound by the nondisclosure provisions of
the Privacy Act. This routine use assists the agency in carrying out the program, and thus is compatible with the purpose
for which the records are created and maintained;
To State government regulatory officials in the State of destination for review and comment;
To the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local, or foreign, charged with responsibility of investigating or
prosecuting a violation of law or of enforcing, implementing, or complying with a statute, rule, regulation, or order issued
pursuant thereto, of any record within this system when information available indicates a violation or potential violation of
law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and either arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by
rule, regulation, or court order issued pursuant thereto;
To the Department of Justice when the agency, or any component thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or her
official capacity, or any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity where the Department of Justice has
agreed to represent the employee, or the United States, in litigation, where the agency determines that litigation is likely to
affect the agency or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such
records by the Department of Justice is deemed by the agency to be relevant and necessary to the litigation; provided,
however, that in each case, the agency determines that disclosure of the records to the Department of Justice is a use of
the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected;
For use in a proceeding before a court or adjudicative body before which the agency is authorized to appear, when the
agency, or any component thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity, or any employee of the
agency in his or her individual capacity where the agency has agreed to represent the employee, or the United States,
where the agency determines that litigation is likely to affect the agency or any of its components, is a party to litigation or
has an interest in such litigation, and the agency determines that use of such records is relevant and necessary to the
litigation; provided, however, that in each case, the agency determines that disclosure of the records to the court is a use
of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected;
To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when the agency suspects or has confirmed that the security or
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; the agency has determined that as a result
of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, a risk of identity theft
or fraud, or a risk of harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by
the agency or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and the disclosure made to such
agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the agency's efforts to respond to the
suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm;
To USDA contractors, partner agency employees or contractors, or private industry employed to identify patterns, trends
or anomalies indicative of fraud, waste, or abuse; and
To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the General Services Administration for records management
activities conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
