Abstract:
This ICR covers activities related to verifying compliance with restrictions on the movement of swine products and byproducts from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and that may be affected by the African swine fever.
Emergency Justfication:
As of December 1, 2020, the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service identified an inventory of 77.5 million hogs and pigs in the United States. APHIS Wildlife Services estimates feral swine are in at least 35 States with a rapidly expanding population of over 6 million. According to the USDA National Animal Health Monitoring System, the U.S. swine industry is worth more than $22.5 billion, which without proper preparation could be put at risk if ASF was introduced into the United States. An ASF outbreak of any size or type, particularly a multistate outbreak, would likely have a sizeable and lingering economic impact for an extended period. An outbreak would immediately disrupt international exports of meat, meat products, and swine byproducts.
