SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Beef and Ovine
Meat From Uruguay and Beef From
Argentina and Brazil.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0372.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to, among other things, prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products into the United States to
prevent the introduction of animal
diseases and pests. The regulations for
the importation of animals and animal
products are contained in 9 CFR parts
92 through 98.
The regulations in part 94 provide the
requirements for the importation of
specified animals and animal products
to prevent the introduction into the
United States of various animal
diseases, including rinderpest and footand-mouth disease (FMD). Among other
things, the regulations in § 94.1 place
certain restrictions on beef and ovine
meat exported to the United States in
accordance with § 94.29, when the beef
or ovine meat enters a port or otherwise
transits a region where rinderpest or
FMD exists during shipment to the
United States. An authorized official of
the exporting region must provide the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) with certification that
specific conditions for importation
listed in § 94.1 have been met.
Section 94.29 places certain
restrictions on the importation of beef
and ovine meat from Uruguay and fresh
(chilled or frozen) beef from certain
regions in Argentina and Brazil into the
United States to prevent the
introduction of FMD. These conditions
involve information collection
activities, such as the requirement that
APHIS collect, for each shipment,
certification from an authorized
veterinary official of the country of
export that the conditions in § 94.29
have been met. For some of these
conditions to be met, the facility in
which the bovines and sheep are
slaughtered must allow periodic on-site
evaluation and subsequent inspection of
its facilities.
The information collection
requirements above are currently
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under OMB control
numbers 0579–0372 (Importation of
Ovine Meat From Uruguay), 0579–0414
(Importation of Beef From a Region in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Mar 27, 2017
Jkt 241001
Brazil), and 0579–0428 (Importation of
Beef From a Region in Argentina). After
OMB approves this combined
information collection package (0579–
0372), APHIS will retire OMB control
numbers 0579–0414 and 0579–0428.
Lastly, as a result of the merging of these
information collection activities, APHIS
has revised the name of this information
collection from ‘‘Importation of Ovine
Meat From Uruguay’’ to ‘‘Importation of
Beef and Ovine Meat From Uruguay and
Beef From Argentina and Brazil.’’
We are asking the 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,
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 0.99
hours per response.
Respondents: Authorized veterinary
officials employed by the Governments
of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay and
managers of foreign facilities that
process meat and meat products.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 8.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1,861.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 14,888.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 14,755 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.

Title: Importation of Clementines,
Mandarins, and Tangerines From Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0242.
Type of Request: Revision to and

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 regulates the
importation of certain fruits and
vegetables in accordance with the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319.56–76).
Under these regulations, clementines,
mandarins, and tangerines from Chile
may be imported into the United States
under certain conditions, as listed in
§ 319.56–38, to prevent the introduction
of plant pests into the United States.
The regulations include requirements
that involve information collection
activities, such as phytosanitary
certificates, trust fund agreements,
permits, production site registration,
phytosanitary inspection, shipping
documentation, and treatment (cold
treatment or fumigation) or low
prevalence production site certification.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (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
