Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Johne's Disease.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0338.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 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. The 
regulations in Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter C of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, govern the interstate movement of animals to prevent the 
dissemination of livestock and poultry diseases in the United States.
    Need and Use of the Information: Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) will collect information using form VS 1-27, Permit for 
Movement of Restricted Animals and Official Ear Tags. APHIS will 
collect the following information from formVS-127: (1) The number of 
animals to be moved; (2) the species of the animals; (3) the points of 
origin and destination, and (4) the names and addresses of the 
consignor and the consignee. Failing to collect this information would 
greatly hinder the control of Johne's disease and possible lead to 
increased prevalence.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 3.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 3.
