Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service *Title:* Spring Viremia of Carp-Susceptible Finfish and their Gametes, and Diagnostic Specimens Importation Permits. *OMB Control Number:* 0579-0301. *Summary of Collection:* The Animal Health Protection Act
(AHPA)of 2002 is the primary Federal law governing the protection of the health of animals under the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA)regulatory authority. APHIS added import restrictions for certain species of finfish that are susceptible to spring viremia of carp disease (SVC). SVC is a disease of certain species of finfish, caused by an eponymous rhabdovirus. SVC is considered extremely contagious, and there are currently no U.S. approved vaccines or treatments for the virus. *Need and Use of the Information:* APHIS has developed import requirements for SVC-susceptible fish species. This necessitates the use of several information collection activities, including the completion of VS forms 17-129, 17-29, 16-3, and 17-136; a health certificate and or cleaning and disinfection certificate; 72-hour notification of arrival, and recordkeeping requirements. Without the information, APHIS would be unable to effectively protect farmed fish populations that are known to be susceptible to SVC from imports of finfish or their gametes infected with SVC virus. *Description of Respondents:* Individual or households; Federal Government. *Number of Respondents:* 462. *Frequency of Responses:* Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. *Total Burden Hours:* 2,018. Ruth Brown, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 2010-9543 Filed 4-23-10; 8:45 am]
