Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service *Title:* Cooperative Wildlife Damage Management Programs. *OMB Control Number:* 0579-NEW. *Summary of Collection:* The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS), is a service program that 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 of wildlife services with respect to injurious animal species and take any action the Secretary considers necessary in conducting the 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. *Description of Respondents:* Farms; Individuals or households; Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government. *Number of Respondents:* 95,000. *Frequency of Responses:* Reporting: On occasion; Biannually; Annually. *Total Burden Hours:* 5,287. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service *Title:* Request for Credit Account Approval for Reimbursable Services. *OMB Control Number:* 0579-0055. *Summary of Collection:* The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134 Section 31001(x)) of 31 U.S.C. 7701, requires that agencies collect tax identification numbers from all person doing business with the Government for purposes of collecting delinquent debts. The services of an inspector to clear imported and exported commodities requiring release by Agency personnel are covered by user fees during regular working hours.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will collect information using APHIS form 192, Application for Credit Account and Request for Service. *Need and Use of the Information:* APHIS will collect information to conduct a credit check on prospective applicants to ensure credit worthiness prior to extending credit services. Without this information, customers (including small business) would have to pay each time a service is provided. *Description of Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 256. *Frequency of Responses:* Reporting: On occasion. *Total Burden Hours:* 64.
