    Summary of Collection: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection

responds to requests by persons and agencies needing help with wildlife 
damage. Assistance is available to all citizens upon request. The 
primary statutory authority for the APHIS/WS program is the Act of 
March 1931 (7 U.S.C. 426-426c; 46 Stat. 1468) as amended. Section 426 
of the Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a program

Information provided by customers in the WS programs is voluntary so 
that WS can prepare to help them. APHIS/WS will collect information 
using several forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information collected in most 
situations is used in routine business communication activities by WS 
as part of its cooperative programs initiated by request from the 
public and government entities. The collected information from the 
forms will help WS modify and improve its programs to better fulfill 
mission objectives, suit the needs of Cooperators, and provide 
increasingly superior service.
