    OMB Control Number: 0579-0146.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 
2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal

Investment Act of 2002. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture

for maintaining a healthy animal population and enhancing the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS), Veterinary Services' ability to allow U.S. animal producers to 
compete in the world market of animal and animal product trade. The

conduct of test before regulated animals are permitted to move 
interstate.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect reports, 
requests, forms, certificates, plans, MOUs, permits, and records for 
zoning, testing, and animal movement. Without the information, APHIS
