Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 8296-8297 [2010-3744]

Download as PDF 8296 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES 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: On occasion. Total Burden Hours: 78. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 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.
