Title: USDA eAuthentication Service
Customer Registration.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0014.
Summary of Collection: The USDA
Office of the Chief Information Officer
(OCIO) developed the eAuthentication
system as a management and technical
process that addresses user
authentication and authorization
prerequisites for providing services
electronically. The process requires a
voluntary one-time electronic selfregistration to obtain an eAuthentication
account for each USDA Agency
customer desiring access to USDA
online services and applications
protected by eAuthentication. The
information collected through the
electronic self-registration process is
necessary to enable the electronic
authentication of users and grant them
access to only those resources for which
they are authorized.
Need and Use of the Information: The
USDA eAuthentication Service provides
public and government businesses
single sign-on capability for USDA
applications, management of user
credentials, and verification of identify,
authorization, and electronic signatures.
USDA eAuthentication obtains
customer information through an
electronic self-registration process
provided through the eAuthentication
Web site. The voluntary self-registration
process applies to USDA Agency
customers, as well as employees who
request access to protected USDA Web
applications and services via the
Internet. Users can register directly from
the eAuthentication Web site located at
www.eauth.egov.usda.gov. The
information collected through the
online self-registration process will be
used to provide an eAuthentication
account that will enable the electronic
authentication of users.
The users will then have access to
authorized resources without needing to
reauthenticate within the context of a
single Internet session.

Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Irradiation Phytosanitary
Treatment for Fresh Fruits and
Vegetables.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0155.
Summary of Collection: The Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–7772)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to regulate the importation of plants,
plant products, and other articles to
prevent the introduction of injurious
plant pests and noxious weeds.
Regulations in 7 CFR part 305 provide
for the use of irradiation as a
phytosanitary treatment for certain
fruits and vegetables imported in the
United States. The irradiation treatment
provides protection against 11 species of
fruit flies and mango seed weevil.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) will collect information
using a compliance agreement, 30-day
notification, labeling requirements,
dosimetry recordings, requests for
dosimetry device approval,
recordkeeping, requests for facility
approval. Without the collection of this
information, APHIS would have no
practical way of determining that any
given commodity had actually been
irradiated.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for profit; individuals or
households; farms.
Number of Respondents: 93.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 416.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Fruit from
Thailand.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0308.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), 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
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) amended the fruit and
vegetables regulations to allow the
importation into the United State of
litchi, longan, mango, mangosteen,
pineapple, and rambutan from
Thailand. The fruit would have to be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate with an additional
declaration stating that the fruit had
been tested with irradiation in Thailand
and in the case of litchi, that the fruit
had been inspected and found to be free

of Peronophythora litchi, a fungal pest
of litchi.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will use the information on the
certificate to determine the pest
condition of the shipment at the time of
inspection in the foreign country. This
information is used as a guide to the
intensity of the inspection APHIS
conduct when the shipment arrives.
Without this information, all shipments
would need to be inspected very
thoroughly, thereby requiring
considerably more time. This would
slow the clearance of international
shipments.
Description of Respondents: Federal
Government (Foreign).
Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

Title: Importation of Mangoes from
India.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0312.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), 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
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) regulates the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the continental United States from
certain parts of the world. In accordance
with these regulations, mangoes from
India may be imported into the United
States only under certain conditions to
prevent the introduction of plant pests
into the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS amended the fruits and
vegetables regulations to allow the
importation into the continental United
States of mangoes from India under
certain conditions. As a condition of
entry, the mangoes have to undergo
irradiation treatment and be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate with additional declaration
statements providing specific
information about treatment and
orchards in which they were grown.
Additional information collected by
APHIS includes a preclearance
workplan, trust fund agreement,
monitoring and certification of
treatments, and recordkeeping. Failure
to collect this information would greatly
hinder APHIS’ ability to ensure that
mangoes from India are not carrying
plant pests.

Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Trade Adjustment Assistance
for Farmers (TAA).
OMB Control Number: 0551–0040.
Summary of Collection: The Trade
Act of 2002 (HR 3009) (Pub. L. 107–
210), established the Trade Adjustment
Assistance for Farmers (TAA) program.
The primary objective of this program is
to provide technical and cash assistance
to producers of raw agricultural
commodities when the Administrator,

contributed importantly to specific price
decline over 5 preceding marketing
years.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS
will collect information to permit
producers to petition and apply for
program benefits. The information is
needed to determine eligibility to obtain
benefits under the program providing
trade adjustment assistance for farmers
and to ascertain the amount of payments
an adversely affected producer is
entitled to receive. The information
collected will provide essential data and
economic information for use by FAS,
Farm Service Agency, Economic
Research Service, Extension Service,
and other agencies within the
Department.
