SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Baby Squash and
Baby Courgettes From Zambia.
OMB Number: 0579–0347.
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, baby squash
and baby courgettes from Zambia are
subject to certain conditions before
entering the United States to ensure that
exotic plant pests are not introduced
into the United States. Allowing baby
squash and baby courgettes to be
imported necessitates the use of certain
information collection activities,
including completing phytosanitary
inspection certificates, maintaining
inspection records, and labeling cartons.
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 1
hour per response.
Respondents: National plant
protection organization of Zambia.

Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 4.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 4 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.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and

OMB Number: 0579–0013.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Virus-SerumToxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151–159), the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service is authorized to promulgate
regulations designed to prevent the
importation, preparation, sale, or
shipment of harmful veterinary
biological products. These regulations
are contained in title 9, Code of Federal

Regulations, subchapter E, parts 102 to
124.
Veterinary biological products
include viruses, serums, toxins, and
analogous products of natural or
synthetic origin, such as vaccines,
antitoxins, or the immunizing
components of microorganisms
intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or
prevention of diseases in domestic
animals.
APHIS issues licenses to qualified
establishments that produce veterinary
biological products and issues permits
to importers of such products. We also
enforce requirements concerning
production, packaging, labeling, and
shipping of these products and set
standards for the testing of these
products.
To help ensure that veterinary
biological products used in the United
States are pure, safe, potent, and
effective, APHIS requires certain
information collection activities,
including establishment license
applications, product license
applications, product import permit
applications, product and test report
forms, and field study summaries.
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;

(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
3.42359 hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. importers,
exporters, and shippers of veterinary
biological products; State veterinary
authorities; and operators of
establishments that produce or test
veterinary biological products or that
