Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 21, 2005 / Notices
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
which administers regulations to
implement the PPA. The regulations in
‘‘Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables,’’ 7
CFR 319.56 through 319.56–8, prohibit
or restrict the importation of fruits and
vegetables into the United States from
certain parts of the world to prevent the
introduction and dissemination of plant
pests, including fruit flies.
Under these regulations, clementines
from Spain are subject to certain
conditions before entering the United
States to ensure that exotic plant pests,
such as the Mediterranean fruit fly, are
not introduced into the United States.
The regulations require the use of
information collection activities
including a trust fund agreement,
grower registration and agreement, a
Mediterranean fruit fly management
program, fruit fly trapping and control
activities, recordkeeping, a
phytosanitary certificate, and box
labeling.
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
0.000578 hours per response.
Respondents: Full-time, salaried plant
health officials of Spain’s plant
inspection service, and growers and
shippers of clementines.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 4,515.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3,870.1328.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 17,473,650.
VerDate jul<14>2003

Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 10,101 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 15th day of
June, 2005.
