SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Live Swine, Pork,
and Pork Products from Chile.
OMB Number: 0579–0235.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit the
importation and interstate movement of
animals and animal products to prevent
the introduction into and dissemination
within the United States of animal
diseases and pests. To fulfill this
mission, APHIS regulates the
importation of animals and animal
products into the United States. The
regulations are contained in title 9,
chapter 1, subchapter D, parts 91
through 99, of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
Part 94, § 94.25, allows the
importation, subject to certain
conditions, of live swine, pork, and pork
products from certain regions, including
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Chile, that are free of classical swine
fever. Among the conditions is a
requirement for a certificate that must
be completed by Chilean veterinary
authorities prior to export. The
certificate must identify both the region
of export and the region of origin as
regions designated in §§ 94.9 and 94.10
as free of classical swine fever at the
time the live swine, pork, or pork
products were in the regions.
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
information collection, 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
information collection 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 1
hour per response.
Respondents: Full-time salaried
veterinarians employed by the national
government of Chile.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 10.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 50.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 50 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Clementines,
Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile.
OMB Number: 0579–0242.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.)
(PPA), the Secretary of Agriculture may
prohibit or restrict the importation,
entry, exportation, or movement in
interstate commerce of any plant, plant
product, biological control organism,
noxious weed, means of conveyance, or
other article if the Secretary determines
that the prohibition or restriction is
necessary to prevent a plant pest or
noxious weed from being introduced
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 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.
Under these regulations, clementines,
mandarins, and tangerines from Chile
are subject to certain conditions before
entering the United States. These
requirements include that production
sites participating in an export program
from Chile to the United States must
register with the national plant
protection organization (NPPO) of Chile
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and be certified as low prevalence
production sites. Each consignment of
clementines, mandarins, and tangerines
must be inspected by APHIS and the
NPPO of Chile, and a phytosanitary
certificate must be issued before the
consignment may leave Chile. In
addition, Chile must enter into a trust
fund agreement with the United States
before beginning any export program.
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

validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;

collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
information collection 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
0.249575 hours per response.
Respondents: Growers, shippers, and
Chilean health officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 19.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 31.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 589.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 147 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.
