Short Statement: This submission is a request for approval to reinstate an information collection by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), to support the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS)’s Equine 2026 Study. This information collection request is to examine health and management practices of equids and investigate current issues. It involves an estimated 6,545 respondents, 29,390 responses, and 10,225 hours of burden. The 60-day FRN reported the following: 6,545 respondents, 16,832 responses, and 7,466 hours of burden. This was based on the way responses and burden were reported historically for NAHMS studies, and not with respect to separate mailings. We have adjusted the way it is reported for the 30-day FRN by separating out responses, nonresponses, and burden hours according to each of the mailings. This method counts each mailing as a response. Additional burden time was also added for the study educational materials, the reminder postcard for events, and for increased use of State partners for data collection.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,652,338
