SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Export Fruit Regulations—
Export Apple Act (7 CFR part 33) and
the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 CFR
part 35).
OMB Number: 0581–0143.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2010.
Type of Request: Request for Renewal
of a Recordkeeping Burden.
Abstract: Fresh apples and grapes
grown in the United States shipped to
any foreign destination must meet
minimum quality and other
requirements established by regulations
issued under the Export Apple Act (7
U.S.C. 581–590) and the Export Grape
and Plum Act (7 U.S.C. 591–599)(Acts),
which are found respectively at 7 CFR
parts 33 and 35. Currently, plums are
not regulated under the Act. The
regulations issued under the Acts cover
exports of fresh apples and grapes
grown in the United States and shipped
to foreign destinations, except Canada

and Mexico. Certain limited quantity
provisions may exempt some shipments
and exporters from this information
collection. The Secretary of Agriculture
is authorized to oversee the
implementation of the Acts and issue
regulations regarding that activity.
The information collection
requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent and
administration of the Acts. Both Acts
were designed to promote foreign trade
in the export of apples, grapes and
plums grown in the United States; to
protect the reputation of the Americangrown commodities; and to prevent
deception or misrepresentation of the
quality of such products moving in
foreign commerce. The Acts have been
in effect since 1933 (apples) and 1960
(grapes).
Specific regulations issued under the
Acts (7 CFR § 33.11 for apples, and
§ 35.12 for grapes) require that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
officially inspect and certify that each
export shipment of fresh apples and
grapes is in compliance with quality
and shipping requirements effective
under the Acts. Shipments are inspected
and certified by Federal or Federal-State
Inspection Program (FSIP) inspectors.
FSIP is administered by USDA.
The information collection
requirements in this request impose the
minimum burden necessary to
effectively administer the Acts.
The information collection burden for
this action is primarily in the form of
recordkeeping. Export Form Certificates
(certificates) issued by FSIP are used to
facilitate the export process. The
certificates are not completed by the
exporters or carriers and are not filed
with USDA. The certificates are retained
by each exporter, and third party carrier
which ships the commodity, to verify
their compliance with the Acts. There
are an estimated 80 exporters of apples
and grapes and an estimated 20 carriers
which transport those shipments.
Pursuant to the Acts, exporters and
carriers must retain inspection
certificates for three (3) years.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .25 hours per
response.
Recordkeepers: Apple and grape
exporters and carriers.
Estimated Number of Recordkeepers:
100.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

18472
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 69 / Monday, April 12, 2010 / Notices
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Interested persons are invited to
submit written comments concerning
this rule. Comments must be sent to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Export Fruit Regulations--Export Apple Act (7 CFR part 33)
and the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 CFR part 35).
OMB Number: 0581-0143.
Expiration Date of Approval: November 30, 2010.
Type of Request: Request for Renewal of a Recordkeeping Burden.
Abstract: Fresh apples and grapes grown in the United States
shipped to any foreign destination must meet minimum quality and other
requirements established by regulations issued under the Export Apple
Act (7 U.S.C. 581-590) and the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 U.S.C. 591-
599)(Acts), which are found respectively at 7 CFR parts 33 and 35.
Currently, plums are not regulated under the Act. The regulations
issued under the Acts cover exports of fresh apples and grapes grown in
the United States and shipped to foreign destinations, except Canada
and Mexico. Certain limited quantity provisions may exempt some
shipments and exporters from this information collection. The Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized to oversee the implementation of the Acts
and issue regulations regarding that activity.
The information collection requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent and administration of the Acts. Both
Acts were designed to promote foreign trade in the export of apples,
grapes and plums grown in the United States; to protect the reputation
of the American-grown commodities; and to prevent deception or
misrepresentation of the quality of such products moving in foreign
commerce. The Acts have been in effect since 1933 (apples) and 1960
(grapes).
Specific regulations issued under the Acts (7 CFR Sec. 33.11 for
apples, and Sec. 35.12 for grapes) require that the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) officially inspect and certify that each export
shipment of fresh apples and grapes is in compliance with quality and
shipping requirements effective under the Acts. Shipments are inspected
and certified by Federal or Federal-State Inspection Program (FSIP)
inspectors. FSIP is administered by USDA.
The information collection requirements in this request impose the
minimum burden necessary to effectively administer the Acts.
The information collection burden for this action is primarily in
the form of recordkeeping. Export Form Certificates (certificates)
issued by FSIP are used to facilitate the export process. The
certificates are not completed by the exporters or carriers and are not
filed with USDA. The certificates are retained by each exporter, and
third party carrier which ships the commodity, to verify their
compliance with the Acts. There are an estimated 80 exporters of apples
and grapes and an estimated 20 carriers which transport those
shipments. Pursuant to the Acts, exporters and carriers must retain
inspection certificates for three (3) years.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .25 hours per response.
Recordkeepers: Apple and grape exporters and carriers.
Estimated Number of Recordkeepers: 100.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 25 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance
[[Page 18472]]
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of information including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Interested persons are invited to submit written comments
concerning this rule. Comments must be sent to the Docket Clerk,
