This study administered by National Agricultural Statistics Service enumerators and APHIS will consist of data collected, analyzed, and interpreted will be disseminated to a wide variety of constituents . Equine owners and farm managers will use the information to compare their operationâs animal health and management practices with other operations regionally and nationally. The benefit to the industry from the Equine 2026 study is scientifically valid national estimates of health and management practices of the nationâs equine industry and an understanding of challenges faced by equine owners/managers.
The study will use information derived from analyses to improve preventive health measures, information outreach efforts and disease prevalence in their equids with national and regional estimates.

This submission is a request for approval to reinstate an information collection by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), to support the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS)âs Equine 2026 Study. This information collection request is to examine health and management practices of equids and investigate current issues. It involves an estimated 6,545 respondents, 29,390 responses, and 10,225 hours of burden.
The 60-day FRN reported the following: 6,545 respondents, 16,832 responses, and 7,466 hours of burden.
This was based on the way responses and burden were reported historically for NAHMS studies, and not with respect to separate mailings. We have adjusted the way it is reported for the 30-day FRN by separating out responses, nonresponses, and burden hours according to each of the mailings. This method counts each mailing as a response. Additional burden time was also added for the study educational materials, the reminder postcard for events, and for increased use of State partners for data collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
