Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the importation, entry, or interstate movement of plants, plant products, and other articles to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or their dissemination within the United States. Regulations authorized by the PPA concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 1 through 319.56–73). In accordance with § 319.56–43, baby corn and baby carrots from Zambia are subject to certain conditions before entering the continental United States to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States. The regulations include requirements for the use of a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization (NPPO) of Zambia stating that the commodity was inspected and found free of certain pests. The information collection activity of a phytosanitary certificate was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under control number 0579–0284. However, when we compared the regulations with this collection activity, we found that inspection of production sites was omitted. Therefore, we have added inspection of production sites to this collection. We are asking OMB to approve our use of these information collection activities, as described, for an additional 3 years. The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. These comments will help us: (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, E:\FR\FM\02OCN1.SGM 02OCN1 59724 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 191 / Friday, October 2, 2015 / Notices mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.4 hours per response. Respondents: Importers and exporters of baby corn and baby carrots and the NPPO of Zambia. Estimated annual number of respondents: 6. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.67. Estimated annual number of responses: 10. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 14 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.) All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
