SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Emerald Ash
Borer Host Material from Canada.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0319.
Type of Request: 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.
As authorized by the PPA, the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) regulates the importation of
plants for planting into the United
States from certain parts of the world as
provided in ‘‘Subpart—Plants for
Planting’’ (7 CFR 319.37 through
319.37–14). This subpart restricts,
among other things, the importation of
living plants, plant parts, and seeds for
propagation. In addition, APHIS
regulates the importation of lumber and
other wood articles as provided in
‘‘Subpart–Logs, Lumber, and Other
Wood Articles’’ (7 CFR 319.40–1
through 319.40–11). This subpart lists
requirements for the importation of
various logs, lumber, and other
unmanufactured wood products into the
United States. Both subparts contain
regulations that restrict or prohibit the
importation of emerald ash borer (EAB)
host material from Canada to prevent
the introduction and spread of EAB into
the United States. EAB (Agrilus
planipennis) is a destructive woodboring insect that attacks ash trees.
These regulations involve information
collection activities, including
phytosanitary certificates, permit
applications, notices, notifications,
agreements, records, and certificates of
inspection.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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,
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 0.56
hours per response.
Respondents: Importers of plants for
planting and logs, lumber, and other
wood articles from Canada; and the
Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 7.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 39.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 22 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 11th day of
January 2017.

the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict
the importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the

concerning the importation of fruits and

In accordance with § 319.56–64, fresh
avocados from continental Spain are
subject to certain conditions before
entering the United States to ensure that
certain quarantine plant pests are not
introduced into the United States. The
regulations require the use of

including an operational workplan, trust
fund agreement, production site and
packinghouse registration, agreements,
box labeling and shipping documents, a
phytosanitary certificate, and
recordkeeping.
