SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Phytophthora Ramorum;
Quarantine and Regulations.
OMB Number: 0579-0310.
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
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart—Phytophthora Ramorum’’
(§§ 301.92 through 301.92-12), the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture restricts the interstate
movement of certain articles to prevent
the spread of Phytophthora ramorum,
the plant pathogen that causes the
disease commonly known as sudden
oak death. The regulations contain
requirements for the interstate
movement of regulated articles, such as
nursery stock and certain trees, from
both quarantined and nonquarantined
areas and involve information collection
activities, including certificates,
compliance agreements, and
recordkeeping.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
0.3131 hours per response.
Respondents: Nurseries in California,
Oregon, and Washington.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,427.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 5.0644709.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 7,227.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 2,263 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of
July 2010.
Kevin Shea,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.
