Abstract: As authorized by the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) (PPA), the Secretary of Agriculture may prohibit or restrict the importation, entry, exportation, or movement in interstate commerce of any plant, plant product, biological control organism, noxious weed, means of conveyance, or other article if the Secretary determines that the prohibition or restriction is necessary to prevent a plant pest or noxious weed from being introduced into or disseminated within the United States. This authority has been delegated to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), which administers regulations to implement the PPA. APHIS regulations in 7 CFR part 319 prohibit or restrict the importation of certain plants and plant products into the United States to prevent the introduction of plant pests. Subpart— Nursery Stock, Plants, Roots, Bulbs, Seeds, and Other Plant Products (7 CFR 319.37 through 319.37-14) restricts, among other things, the importation of living plants, plant parts, and seeds for propagation; and Subpart–Logs, Lumber, and Other Unmanufactured Wood Articles (7 CFR 310.40-1 through 319.40-11) governs the importation of various logs, lumber, and other unmanufactured wood products into the United States. Both subparts contain regulations that restrict or prohibit the importation of emerald ash borer host material from Canada to prevent the introduction and spread of EAB, a destructive wood-boring insect that attacks ash trees, in the United States. These regulations involve information collection activities, including phytosanitary certificates, permit applications, and certificates of inspection. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:41 Aug 02, 2010 Jkt 220001 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 information collection, 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 information collection 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 0.6666 hours per response. Respondents: Importers of certain articles from Canada; and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Estimated annual number of respondents: 6. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1. Estimated annual number of responses: 6. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 4 hours.

the importation, entry, exportation, or movement in interstate commerce 
of any plant, plant product, biological control organism, noxious weed,

the prohibition or restriction is necessary to prevent a plant pest or 
noxious weed from being introduced into or disseminated within the

    APHIS regulations in 7 CFR part 319 prohibit or restrict the 
importation of certain plants and plant products into the United States

whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the 
information collection, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;

be collected; and
