SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Citrus Canker; Interstate
Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock
and Fruit from Quarantined Areas.
OMB Number: 0579-0317.
Type of Request: Revision and
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
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests, such as citrus canker, that
are new to or not widely distributed
within the United States.
Citrus canker is a plant disease that
affects plant and plant parts, including
fresh fruit of citrus and citrus relatives
(family Rutaceae). Citrus canker can
cause defoliation and other serious
damage to the leaves and twigs of
susceptible plants. It can also cause
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34419
lesions on the fruit of infected plants
and cause infected fruit to drop from the
trees before reaching maturity. The
aggressive A (Asiatic) strain of citrus
canker can infect susceptible plants
rapidly and lead to extensive economic
losses in commercial citrus-producing
areas.
APHIS regulations to prevent the
interstate spread of citrus canker are
contained in ‘‘Subpart—Citrus Canker’’
(7 CFR 301.75-1 through 301.75-14). The
regulations restrict the interstate
movement of regulated articles from and
through areas quarantined because of
citrus canker and provide, among other
things, conditions under which
regulated nursery stock and fruit may be
moved interstate. The interstate
movement of regulated nursery stock
and fruit from quarantined areas
involves information collection
activities, including cooperative
agreements, certificates, and limited
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.
This information collection includes
information collection requirements
currently approved by OMB control
numbers 0579-0317, ‘‘Citrus Canker;
Interstate Movement of Regulated
Nursery Stock from Quarantined Areas,’’
and 0579-0325, ‘‘Citrus Canker;
Movement of Fruit from Quarantined
Areas.’’ After OMB approves and
combines the burden for both
collections under a single collection
(0579-0317), ‘‘Citrus Canker; Interstate
Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock
and Fruit from Quarantined Areas,’’ the
Department will retire number 05790325.
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

Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.0019836 hours per response.
Respondents: Citrus growers;

Estimated annual number of

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.

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

In accordance with these regulations,
clementines, mandarins, and tangerines
from Chile may be imported only under
certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the

the use of information collection
activities, including a phytosanitary
certificate, trust fund agreement, permit,
