SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Eggplant From
Israel.
OMB Number: 0579–0350.
Type of Request: Extension of an
approval of an information collection.
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).
Under these regulations, eggplant
from Israel are subject to certain
conditions before entering the United
States to ensure that exotic plant pests
are not introduced into the United
States. The regulations require the
eggplant be grown under a systems
approach that would include
requirements for pest exclusion at the
production site, fruit fly trapping inside
and outside the production site, and
pest-excluding packinghouse
procedures. The eggplant must be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the Israeli national
plant protection organization with an
additional declaration confirming that
the eggplant had been produced in
accordance with the regulations.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pale Cyst Nematode.
OMB Number: 0579–0322.
Type of Request: Revision and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.)
(PPA), the Secretary of Agriculture,
either independently or in cooperation
with States, may 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.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart—Pale Cyst Nematode’’ (7 CFR
301.86 through 301.86–9), APHIS
restricts the interstate movement of
certain articles to help prevent the
artificial spread of pale cyst nematode,
a major pest of potato crops in cooltemperature areas, to noninfested areas
of the United States. The regulations
contain requirements for the interstate
movement of regulated articles and
involve information collection
activities, including certificates,
permits, and compliance agreements.
We are revising the title of the collection
to ‘‘Pale Cyst Nematode’’ because the
title of the original subpart, ‘‘Potato Cyst
Nematode,’’ was changed in a 2009 final
rule.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
