Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Clementines,
Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0242.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–
7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. 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.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) requires that some
plants or plant products are
accompanied by a phytosanitary
inspection certificate that is completed
by plant health officials in the
originating or transiting country. APHIS
will use the information on this
certificate to determine the pest
condition of the shipment at the time of
inspection in the foreign country.
Without the information, all shipments
would need to be inspected very
thoroughly, thereby requiring
considerable more time, this would
slow the clearance of international
shipments.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 19.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 147.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Welfare Act (AWA) (7 U.S.C. 2131 et
seq.) authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to promulgate standards and
other requirements governing the
humane handling, housing, care,
treatment, and transportation of certain

Inspection Service (APHIS) has the
responsibility to enforce the AWA and
to regulate the humane care and
handling of most warm-blooded animals
used for research or exhibition
purposes, sold as pets, or transported in
commerce. APHIS will collect
information using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect health certificates,
program of veterinary care, application
for license and record of acquisition,
disposition and transportation of
animals. The information is used to
ensure those dealers, exhibitors,
research facilities, carriers, etc., are in
compliance with the Animal Welfare
Act and regulations and standards
promulgated under this authority of the
Act.

Warehouse operators are responsible for
the quantity and quality of commodities
stored in emergency and temporary
storage space to the same extent as their
liability for licensed storage space. All
commodities stored in emergency and
temporary storage space are considered
a part of the warehouse operator’s
commingled inventory.
Warehouse Security
CCC strongly recommends that
warehouse operators review their
warehouse security plans and conduct a
prudent risk assessment in connection
with their application for emergency

Warehouse operators may want to pay
particular attention to threats that may
not have been considered significant in
the past and consider restricting access
to facilities to authorized personnel
only.
