In accordance with the terms of 5 CFR 1320, the collection of information is disapproved. APHIS published an interim final rule related to Brucellosis on December 27, 2010, but failed to request approval of the these associated information collections at this time. OMB understands that the information has not been collected. During the comment period, APHIS received comments questioning both the burden and the practical utility of the information being required by the rule. OMB understands that APHIS intends to submit for interagency review a final rule that responds to these comments and makes whatever changes to the requirements that APHIS has found to be warranted. Until such time as the final rule is in place and APHIS has received approval of the revised information collections, this request is not approved.
