The purpose of this collection is for APHIS to conduct disease surveillance at livestock marketing, slaughtering, and rendering facilities and establishments through the use of agreements allowing blood and tissue testing, and review of livestock and poultry movement records. These actions help identify, trace, and prevent the spread of animal diseases within the United States and have an important role in protecting the health of the U.S. livestock and poultry populations.
US Code:
7 USC 8301
Name of Law: Animal Health Protection Act of 2002
Increases in responses and hours are attributed to the addition of 5 burdens not previously reported (schedule of sales days, diseased animal notification, quarantine signs, and requests for appeal of denial of agreements and of withdrawal of agreements), and merging 0579-0258 into the information collection request adding four new burdens (approval of livestock facilities agreements and 3 recordkeeping requirements) as well as adding to an existing burden (Listing Agreements). The unreported burdens contribute only 13 responses and 6 hours of burden to the information collection request.
