SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Plum Pox Compensation.
OMB Number: 0579–0159.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
the States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests, such as plum pox virus
(PPV), that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
Plum pox is an extremely serious viral
disease of plants that can affect many
Prunus (stone fruit) species, including
plum, peach, apricot, almond, nectarine,
and sweet and tart cherry. A number of
wild and ornamental Prunus species
may also be susceptible to this disease.
Infection eventually results in severely
reduced fruit production, and the fruit
that is produced is often misshapen and
blemished. PPV is transmitted under
natural conditions by several species of
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
aphids. The long distance spread of PPV
occurs by budding and grafting with
infected plant material and by farm
tools/equipment, and through
movement of infected budwood, nursery
stock, and other plant parts.
There are no known effective methods
for treating trees or other plant material
infected with PPV, nor are there any
known effective preventive treatments.
Without effective treatments, the only
option for preventing the spread of the
disease is the destruction of infected
and exposed trees and other infected
plant material.
The regulations in ‘‘Subpart–Plum
Pox’’ (7 CFR 301.74–301.74–5)
quarantine areas of the United States
where PPV has been detected, restrict
the interstate movement of host material
from quarantined areas, and provide for
compensation to owners of commercial
stone fruit orchards and fruit tree
nurseries whose trees or nursery stock
were destroyed to eradicate PPV.
Section 301.74–5 requires applicants
for the payment of compensation to
complete a form.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity 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 collection
of information, 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
collection of information 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 0.5
hours per response.
Respondents: Owners of commercial
stone fruit orchards and owners of fruit
tree nurseries.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 10.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual burden on

the total annual burden hours may not
equal the product of the annual number

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Communicable Diseases in
Horses.
OMB Number: 0579-0127.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the authority of the
Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C.
8301 et seq.), the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
regulates the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products, and conducts various other
activities to protect the health of our
Nation’s livestock and poultry.
Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is an
infectious and potentially fatal viral
disease of equines. There is no vaccine
or treatment for the disease. It is often
difficult to differentiate from other
fever-producing diseases, including
anthrax, influenza, and equine
encephalitis.
The regulations in 9 CFR 75.4 govern
the interstate movement of equines that
have tested positive to an official test for
EIA (EIA reactors) and provide for the
approval of laboratories, diagnostic
facilities, and research facilities. The
regulations require the use of an official
EIA test, a certificate for the interstate
movement of an EIA reactor, and proper
identification of the reactor, as well as
recordkeeping by accredited and State
veterinarians; laboratory, diagnostic,
and research facility personnel; and
stockyard personnel.
