    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 October 
3, 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

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: Restricted, Prohibited, and Controlled Importation of Animal 
and Poultry Products and Byproducts, Into the United States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0015.
    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. Disease prevention is the most effective method for 
maintaining a healthy animal population and for enhancing the Animal 
and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS') ability to bolster the 
United States' capability to compete globally in animal and animal 
product trade. In connection with this mission, APHIS enforces 
regulations regarding both the importation of controlled materials and 
the prevention of foreign animal disease incursions into the United 
States. These regulations can be found at title 9, chapter I, 
subchapter D, parts 94, 95, 96, and 122 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR).
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information to 
ensure that imported items do not present a disease risk to the 
livestock and poultry populations of the United States. The information 
collected will provide APHIS with critical information concerning the 
origin and history of the items destined for importation into the 
United States. If this information were collected less frequently or 
not collected, the United States would be at increased risk for the 
introduction of FMD, ASF, CSF, swine vesicular disease (SVD), ND, or 
HPAI. This would cause serious economic consequences to several United 
States livestock industries and potentially serious health consequences 
for United States livestock.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not for-
profit institutions; Foreign Government.
    Number of Respondents: 30,902.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; On occasion; 
Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 113,354.
