SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Clementines,
Mandarins, and Tangerines From Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0242.
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. 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
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
0.3721 hours per response.
Respondents: Growers, shippers, and
the national plant production
organization of Chile.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 40.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 14.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 559.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 208 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.

March 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Live Swine, Pork,
and Pork Products From Certain Regions
Free of Classical Swine Fever in Brazil,
Chile, and Mexico.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0230.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products to prevent the introduction
into and dissemination within the
United States of livestock diseases and
pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
The regulations for the importation of
animals and animal products are
contained in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98.
Part 94 allows the importation, under
certain conditions, of live swine, pork,
and pork products from certain regions
that are free of classical swine fever
(CSF) in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico to
prevent the introduction of CSF into the
United States. In accordance with
§ 94.32, APHIS recognizes certain
regions in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico as
free of CSF but places restrictions on the
importation of live swine, pork, and
pork products from these regions. These
restrictions are placed because these
regions either supplement their pork
supplies by importing fresh (chilled or
frozen) pork from CSF-affected regions,
supplement their pork supplies with
pork from CSF-affected regions that is
not processed in accordance with the
requirements in part 94, share a
common land border with CSF-affected
regions, or import live swine from such
regions under conditions less restrictive
than would be acceptable for
importation into the United States. To
ensure that the importation of live
