Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 19, 2005 / Notices
implement the PPA. Regulations
governing the interstate movement of
plants and plant products from Hawaii
and U.S. territories, including Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands,
are contained in 7 CFR part 318,
‘‘Hawaiian and Territorial Quarantine
Notices.’’
These regulations are necessary to
prevent the interstate spread of plant
pests such as the Mediterranean fruit
fly, the melon fly, the Oriental fruit fly,
green coffee scale, the bean pod borer,
and other plant pests to noninfested
areas of the United States.
Administering these regulations
requires APHIS to collect information
from a variety of individuals who are
involved in growing, packing, handling,
and transporting plants and plant
products. This information serves as
supporting documentation required for
the issuance of forms and documents
that authorize the movement of
regulated articles and is vital to help
ensure that injurious plant pests are not
spread interstate from Hawaii and U.S.
territories to noninfested areas of the
United States.
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
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
0.0786158 hours per response.
Respondents: State plant regulatory
officials, irradiation facility personnel,
and individuals involved in growing,
packing, handling, and transporting
plants and plant products.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,129.

Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 986 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.

the West Indian fruit fly. For example,
if an area of the United States has been
placed under quarantine because of a
fruit fly infestation, then certain plants
and plant products that may present a
risk of spreading the fruit fly may be
moved interstate from the infested area
only under certain conditions (e.g., after
treatment or inspection). In this way, we
prevent the fruit flies from being spread
to noninfested areas of the United States
via the movement of the plants and
plant products.
Administering these regulations
requires APHIS to collect information
from a variety of individuals who are

serves as the supporting documentation

documents that authorize the movement
of regulated plants and plant products
and is vital to help prevent the spread
of injurious plant pests within the
United States.
Collecting this information requires
us to use a number of forms and
documents, including certificates,
limited permits, transit permits, and
outdoor household article documents.
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
