    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; 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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 May 23, 
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the 
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of 
the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    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: Importation of Swine Hides, Bird Trophies, and Deer Hides.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0307.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) 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 AHPA is contained in Title X, Subtitle E, Sections 10401-
18 of Public Law 107-171, May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural 
Investment Act of 2002. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) protects the health of the U.S. livestock and poultry 
population. The regulations in 9 CFR parts 94 and 95 (referred to below 
as the regulations) prohibit or restrict the importation of specified 
animal products into the United States to prevent the introduction into 
the U.S. livestock population of certain contagious animal diseases. 
Sections 95.16 and 95.17 of the regulations contain, among other 
things, specific processing and certification requirements for untanned 
hides and skins and bird trophies.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
from forms VS 16-28, VS 16-29 and VS 16-78, certificates, and written 
statements, to ensure that bird trophies and certain animal hides pose 
a negligible risk of introducing certain contagious, infectious, or 
communicable animal diseases into the United States. If this 
information is not collected, it would significantly hinder APHIS's 
ability to ensure that these commodities pose a minimal risk of 
introducing foreign animal diseases into the United States.
    Description of Respondents: Foreign Government; Business or other 
for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 167.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 471.
