and Mormon crickets on all Federal
lands to protect rangeland. The Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture carries out this program,
primarily by treating infested lands by
aerial spraying of pesticides from
aircraft. APHIS contracts for these
services, and prior to any aerial
applications, requests certain
information from the contractor and/or
contract pilots to ensure that the work
will be done according to contract
specifications. Among other things,
APHIS asks to see aircraft registration,
the aircraft’s airworthiness certificate,
the pilot’s license, the pilot’s medical
certification, the pilot’s proof of flight
review, the pilot’s pesticide applicator’s
license, and the aircraft logbook. APHIS
transfers information from these
documents to PPQ Form 816, which is
then signed by the APHIS official
collecting the information and the
contractor or contract pilot, indicating
acceptance of the pilot and aircraft for
the job.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity for 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 0.25
hours per response.
Respondents: Contractors and/or
pilots of aircraft.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 100.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 35.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 3,500.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 875 hours. (Due to
