(PPA), the Secretary of Agriculture may
prohibit or restrict the importation,
entry, exportation, or movement in

into or disseminated within the United
States. This authority has been
delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
which administers regulations to
implement the PPA.
The plant quarantine safeguard
regulations in 7 CFR part 352 allow
certain products or articles that are
classified as prohibited or restricted
products or articles under other
regulations in title 7 to be moved
through the United States under certain
conditions. Such articles include fruits
and vegetables that are moved into the
United States for: (1) A temporary stay
where unloading or landing is not
intended, (2) unloading or landing for
transshipment and exportation, (3)
unloading or landing for transportation
and exportation, or (4) unloading and
entry at a port other than the port of first
arrival.
The regulations in § 352.30 address
the movement of untreated oranges,
tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico
into or through the United States in
transit to foreign countries. These
regulations require the trucking industry
and shippers to obtain permits from
APHIS that allow the untreated fruit to
transit the United States.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity 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 0.5
hours per response.
Respondents: Trucking industry;
shippers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 400.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Foreign Agricultural Service
Waivers of Requirement for Timely
Presentation of Certificates of Quota
Eligibility for Sugar Imported From
Mexico in Fiscal Year (FY) 2006
Foreign Agricultural Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Agriculture will
consider requests for a waiver of the
requirement for presentation, at the time
of entry into U.S. Customs territory, of
certificates for quota eligibility for sugar
imported under tariff-rate quotas
allocated to Mexico during FY 2006
(October 1, 2005–September 30, 2006).
Background
There were numerous disruptions to
the U.S. sugar market in FY 2006,
leading to spot shortages and increased
U.S. import requirements. Importers of
sugar under tariff-rate quotas allocated
to Mexico experienced delays in
receiving certificates for quota
eligibility, due in part to processing
delays in both the United States and in
Mexico. There were also numerous
cases of delays at ports of entry into the
United States for sugar under tariff-rate
quotas even when the certificate for
quota eligibility was available, and
importers sometimes avoided delays by
entering sugar under a high-duty tariff
line which did not require a certificate
for quota eligibility. Under 15 CFR
2011.104, the Secretary has authority to
grant a waiver, with respect to
individual shipments, various
requirements regarding use of
certificates for quota eligibility, if he
