DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the

[[Page 30398]]

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments are 
requested regarding (1) 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) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by July 30, 
2018 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building, 
725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are encouraged to 
submit their comments to OMB via email to: OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV 
or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Copies of the submission(s) 
may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Animal Disease Traceability.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0327.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 
U.S.C. 8301-8317) is the primary Federal law governing the protection 
of animal health. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 
authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of 
livestock or poultry. As part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard 
animal health, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) developed the Animal Disease 
Traceability (ADT) framework which continues to be a partnership 
involving APHIS, States, Tribes, and industry to provide a system for 
animal traceability. Traceability helps document the movement history 
of an animal throughout its life, including during an emergency 
response or for ongoing animal disease programs.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS uses information provided by 
businesses, States, and Tribal Nations to facilitate animal disease 
traceability and support disease control, eradication, and surveillance 
activities. Some of the information collection activities include: 
Applications for use of more than official identification device; 
applications for and approval of tagging sites; evaluation of States 
and Tribes; documentation of completion of performance measures; 
commuter herd agreements; collection of identification devices at 
slaughter; obtaining official eartags; application of State shields; 
official identification device distribution records; certification of 
veterinary inspection; unauthorized removal or loss of official 
identification devices; reporting retagging animal records; premises 
identification and updates; nonproducer participant registration; 
official identification device applications and approved identification 
device manufacturer agreements and updates; animal identification 
number manager registration, agreements, and updates; cooperative 
agreements; State/Tribe quarterly reports; animal disease tractability 
road maps; eartag orders; program site tag information; records of tags 
issues and applied; coordination of tag orders with manufacturers; 
reporting loss, theft, and misuse of tags; removal or replacement of 
eartags; and recordkeeping. If this information was not collected, 
APHIS' ability to address traceability needs would be significantly 
hampered.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
Businesses.
    Number of Respondents: 275,622.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Third-Party Disclosure; 
Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,314,736.
