A federal agency is moving forward with plans to update and extend information collection requirements tied to rules governing the importation of live birds, poultry meat, and related products from certain international regions.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has announced its intention to seek revised approval for these information collection activities, which are connected to existing regulations that control how poultry and poultry products enter the United States from specific areas around the world.
This announcement follows procedures established under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which requires federal agencies to obtain approval for information collection activities and periodically review and update those requirements.
