The purpose of this information collection is to require foreign federal governments to complete Foreign Meat Inspection Certificates to help guard against the introduction of animal diseases of ovine and bovine not currently present or prevalent in the United States.
US Code:
7 USC 8301
Name of Law: The Animal Health Protection Act
This request for renewal is for 27,929 estimated responses and 18,514 estimated burden hours, reflecting an increases of 8,471 estimated responses and 8,470 burden from the previous renewal request.
Adjustments are due to the increase in the total number of imports of beef and ovine meet from all three countries. This is due in part to a rebound in import of beef from Uruguay as well as more accurate accounting for overall numbers due to APHISâ use of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to receive, track, and process required information for animal product imports. Numbers for identification and testing of select lambs have held steady as this is a set program.
