DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

February 28, 2018.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the 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 April 4, 
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: Foot-and-Mouth Disease; Prohibition on Importation of Farm 
Equipment.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0195.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 is 
the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. 
Regulations contained in 9 CFR chapter 1, subchapter D, parts 91 
through 99 prohibits the importation of used farm equipment into the 
United States from regions in which foot-and-mouth (FMD) disease or 
rinderpest exist, unless the equipment is accompanied by an original 
certificate signed by an unauthorized official of the national animal 
health service of the exporting region that states that the equipment 
was steam-cleaned prior to export to the United States so that it is 
free of exposed dirt and other particulate matter. Disease prevention 
is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy animal 
population and enhancing the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) ability to compete in exporting animals and animal products.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
through the use of a certification statement completed by the farm 
equipment exporter and signed by an authorized official of the national 
animal health service of the region of origin, stating that the steam-
cleaning of the equipment was done prior to export to the United 
States. This is necessary to help prevent the introduction of FMD into 
the United States. If the information were not collected APHIS would be 
forced to discontinue the importation of any used farm equipment from 
FMD affected regions; a development that could have a damaging 
financial impact on exporters and importers of the equipment.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 71.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,492.
