Agriculture may prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, exportation, or
movement in interstate commerce of
any plant, plant product, biological

Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will use the collected
information on the Phytosanitary
Certificate, to determine the pest
condition of the shipment at the time of
inspection in the foreign country. Under
Section 319.56–2(g) states, in part, that
boxes of fruit imported into the United
States must be clearly labeled with the
name of the orchard or grove of origin,
or the name of the grower, and the name
of the municipality and State in which
it was produced; and the type and
amount of fruit it contains. The
information is also used as a guide to
the intensity of the inspection that is
conducted when the shipment arrives.
Without the information, the
effectiveness of APHIS import
regulations would be severely
compromised.

Summary of Collection: The voluntary

Need and Use of the Information:
FSNC staff members will use the
collected information by the Resource

providers access and use the database to
identify and obtain curricula, lesson
plan, research, training tools and

The research will provide a means by
which to classify visitors to the NAL
