SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Health Certificates for the Export of Live Crustaceans, 
Finfish, Mollusks, and Related Products.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0278.
    Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information 
collection.
    Abstract: The export of agricultural commodities, including animals 
and animal products, is a major business in the United States and 
contributes to a favorable balance of trade. To facilitate the export 
of U.S. animals and animal products, the Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
maintains information regarding the import health requirements of other 
countries for animals and animal products exported from the United 
States.
    Many countries that import animals from the United States require a 
certification that the United States is free of certain diseases. These 
countries may also require the certification statement to contain 
additional declarations regarding the U.S. animals or products being 
exported. U.S. trading partners are increasing import requirements, 
which must be addressed using one of the three APHIS export health 
certificates or country specific export health certificates. The three 
APHIS export health certificates are USDA, APHIS, Veterinary Services 
(VS) Form 17-141 (Health Certificate for the Export of Live Finfish, 
Mollusks, and Crustaceans (and their Gametes); USDA, APHIS, VS Form 17-
140 (United States Origin Health Certificate); and USDA, APHIS Form 
7001 (United States Interstate and International Certificate of Health 
Examination for Small Animals).
    The certificates are completed by an accredited veterinarian and 
must be signed by the accredited veterinarian who inspects the animals 
prior to their departure from the United States, and endorsed by APHIS.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities for an additional 3 
years.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public 
(as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. 
These comments will help us:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, 
electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of responses.
    Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 0.254 hours per response.
    Respondents: Accredited veterinarians and producers who will assist 
in supplying the necessary information to complete the certificates.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 256.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 16.062.

[[Page 31571]]

    Estimated annual number of responses: 4,112.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1,050 hours. (Due to 
averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of 
the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per 
response.)
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of May 2015.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
