Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict
the importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. Regulations
authorized by the PPA concerning the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56-1
through 319.56-50).

the Philippines may be imported into
the United States only under certain
conditions to prevent the introduction
of plant pests into the United States.
The regulations require information
collection activities, including box
labeling, phytosanitary certificates with
an additional declaration, trust fund
agreements, and import permits.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
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 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
0.662287 hours per response.
Respondents: Philippine plant
protection officials; mango producers
and packinghouses on Guimaras Island,
Philippines.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,827.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,827.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 121 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.

of pests and diseases of livestock.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93

those tortoises that are already in the

certificate must be signed by an APHIS
accredited veterinarian and must state
that the tortoises have been examined
by that veterinarian and found free of
ticks.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
