Recovery Act) established the Board and
required that the Board establish and
maintain a public-facing website to
track covered funds. Section 1512 of the
Recovery Act requires recipients of
Federal financial assistance—namely,
grants, cooperative agreements,
contracts and loans—to report on the
use of funds. These reports are to be
submitted to FederalReporting.gov, and
certain information from these reports
will later be posted on the public-facing
Web site Recovery.gov. More
specifically, as set forth in OMB’s June
22, 2009, Implementing Guidance for
the Reports on Use of Funds Pursuant

prime recipient required under section
1512(c)(4). In addition, the prime
recipient must report three additional
data elements associated with any
vendors receiving funds from the prime
recipient for any payments greater than
$25,000. Specifically, the prime
recipient must report the identity of the

the amount of the payment, and a
description of what was obtained in
exchange for the payment. If the vendor
does not have a DUNS number, then the
name and zip code of the vendor’s
headquarters will be used for
identification.
Sub-Recipients of the Prime Recipient:
The sub-recipients of the prime
recipient may be required by the prime
recipient to report the FFATA data
elements required under section
1512(c)(4) for payments from the prime
recipient to the sub-recipient. The
reporting sub-recipients must also
report one data element associated with
any vendors receiving funds from that
sub-recipient. Specifically, the subrecipient must report, for any payments

Title:
Irradiation Phytosanitary Treatment of
Imported Fruits and Vegetables.
OMB Number: 0579–0155.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection
Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) is authorized, among other
things, to regulate the importation of
plants, plant products, including fruits
and vegetables, and other articles to
prevent the introduction of plant pests
and noxious weeds into the United
States.
Regulations governing the importation
of fruits and vegetables are set out in 7
CFR part 319. In accordance with the
regulations, some fruits and vegetables
from certain regions of the world must
be treated for insect pests in order to be
eligible for entry into the United States.
The regulations in 7 CFR part 305
provide for the use of irradiation as a
phytosanitary treatment for fruits and
vegetables imported into the United
States. The irradiation treatment
provides protection against all insect
pests including fruit flies, the mango
seed weevil, and others. It may be used
as an alternative to other approved
treatments for these pests in fruits and
vegetables, such as fumigation, cold
treatment, heat treatment, and other
techniques.
The regulations concerning
irradiation treatment involve the
collection of information, including a
compliance agreement, 24-hour
notification, labeling, dosimetry
recordings, requests for dosimetry
device approval, requests for facility
approval, trust fund agreement, and
annual work plan, as well as
recordkeeping.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00002

Sfmt 4703
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
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
0.0015369 hours per response.
Respondents: Foreign plant protection
services, irradiation facility personnel,
importers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 93.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 433.76344.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 40,340.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 62 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 3rd day of
August 2009.
William H. Clay,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.
