SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0020.
    Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an 
information collection.
    Abstract: Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et 
seq.), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the 
U.S. Department of Agriculture, among other things, has the authority 
to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or 
poultry. The Secretary may also prohibit or restrict the import or 
export of any animal or related material if necessary to prevent the 
spread of any livestock or poultry pest or disease. Disease prevention 
is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy animal 
population and for enhancing APHIS' ability to compete in the world 
market of animal and animal product trade.
    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. As part of its mission to 
facilitate the export of U.S. animals and products, APHIS' Veterinary 
Services maintains information regarding the import health requirements 
of other countries for animals and animal products exported from the 
United States.
    Among other things, to ensure a favorable balance of trade, APHIS 
uses information collection activities, such as U.S. Origin Health 
Certificates; U.S. Interstate and International Certificates of Health 
Examinations for Small Animals; U.S. Origin Health Certificates for the 
Export of Horses from the United States to Canada; Health Certificates 
for the Export of Live Finfish, Mollusks, and Crustaceans (and their 
Gametes); Undue Hardship Explanations-Animals; Applications for 
Approval of Inspection Facility-Environmental Certification; Annual 
Inspections of Inspection Facilities; Opportunities to Present Views 
Concerning Withdrawal of Facility Approval; Certifications to Carry 
Livestock; Inspections of Vessel Prior to Voyage; Notarized Statements; 
Aircraft Cleaning and Disinfection; Country-Specific Health Care; and 
Travel Time.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities, as described, 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 0.48 hours per response.
    Respondents: Owners and facility operators, accredited 
veterinarians, exporters, and owners or masters of a vessel.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 2,177.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 16.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 35,661.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 17,170 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

[[Page 24276]]

for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public 
record.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of May 2017.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
