Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Conditions for Payment of
Avian Influenza Indemnity Claims.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0440.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C.
8301 et seq.) 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 Secretary may
also prohibit or restrict import or export
of any animal or related material if
necessary to prevent the spread of any
livestock or poultry pest or disease. U.S.
animal health policy calls for
elimination of the avian influenza virus
(both highly pathogenic and low
pathogenicity strains) when found
through depopulation (i.e., euthanasia
and disposal) of affected poultry. The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) works with State and
local animal health officials to
euthanize poultry, clean and disinfect
premises and equipment, and test for
elimination of the virus to ensure that
farms can be safely restocked.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS Veterinary Services assists State
and local animal health officials and
poultry producers with creating and
applying biosecurity and response
plans, developing and enforcing flock
plans and compliance agreements,
preparing and processing appraisal and
indemnity claims and worksheets,
developing restocking and testing
agreements, and submitting reports.
Description of Respondents: State and
local animal health officials and poultry
producers.
Number of Respondents: 18,950.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 48,714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Title: Forest Service Pilot and Aircraft
Record Forms.
OMB Number: 0596–0015.
Expiration Date of Approval: February
28, 2022.
Type of Request: Renewal with
revisions of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Forest Service contracts
with approximately 400 vendors a year
for commercial aviation services
utilized in resource protection and
project management. In recent years, the
total annual use of contract aircraft and
pilots has exceeded 80,000 hours. In
order to maintain an acceptable level of
safety, preparedness, and cost-
effectiveness in aviation operations,
Forest Service contracts include
rigorous qualifications for pilots and
specific condition, equipment, and
performance requirements for aircraft as
aviation operations are conducted under
extremely adverse conditions of
weather, terrain, turbulence, smoke
reduced visibility, minimally improved
landing areas, and congested airspace
around wildfires. To ensure pilots and
aircraft used for aviation operations
meet specific Forest Service
qualifications and requirements for
aviation operations, prospective
contract pilots complete one of the
following Forest Service forms:
•FS–5700–20—Airplane Pilot
Qualifications and Approval Record
•FS–5700–20a—Helicopter Pilot
Qualifications and Approval Record
Agency Aircraft Inspectors use the
following forms when inspecting
aircraft for contract compliance:
•FS–5700–21—Airplane Data Record
•FS–5700–21a—Helicopter Data
Record
Based upon approval(s) documented
on the form(s), each contractor pilot and
aircraft receive an approval card. Forest
Service personnel verify possession of
properly approved cards before using
contracted pilots and aircraft.
Information collected on pilot forms
includes:
•Name.
•Address.
•Certification numbers.
•Employment history.
•Medical Certification.
•Airplane/helicopter certifications and
specifications.
•Accident/violation history.
Without the collected information,
Forest Service Pilot and Aircraft
Inspectors and Forest Service
Contracting Officers cannot determine
whether contracted pilots and aircraft
meet detailed qualification, equipment,
and condition requirements essential to
safe and effective accomplishment of
Forest Service-specified flying missions.
Without a reasonable basis to determine
pilot qualifications and aircraft
capability, Forest Service employees
would be exposed to hazardous
conditions. Data collected documents
approval of contract pilots and aircraft
for specific Forest Service aviation
special missions. Information will be
collected and reviewed by Pilot and
Aircraft Inspectors to determine
whether aircraft and/or pilot(s) meet all
agency requirements in accordance with
Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 5709.16,
chapter 10, sections 15 and 16. Forest
Service pilot and aircraft inspectors
maintain collected information in Forest
Service regional and national offices.
The Forest Service, at times, shares the
information with the Department of the
Interior, Office of Aviation Services, as
each organization accepts contract
inspections conducted by the other.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 60
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Vendors/
Contractors.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2,100.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,100 hours.
Comment Is Invited: Comment is
invited on: (1) Whether this collection
of information is necessary for the stated
purposes and proper performance of
Agency functions, including whether
the information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.
