SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Citrus From Peru.
OMB Number: 0579–0289.
Type of Request: Extension of
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 319.56–54).
Under these regulations, fresh citrus
(grapefruit, limes, mandarins or
tangerines, sweet oranges, and tangelos)
from Peru is subject to certain
conditions before entering the United
States to prevent the introduction of
plant pests into the United States. The
regulations require the use of
information collection activities,
including inspections by national plant
protection organization officials from
Peru, grower registration and agreement,
fruit fly trapping, monitoring, and
recordkeeping, and a phytosanitary
certificate.
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:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

(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
7.769494 hours per response.
Respondents: National plant
protection organization officials of Peru
and growers of citrus fruit in Peru.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 444.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 9.2139639.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 4,091.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 31,785 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.

Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture maintains
information regarding the import health
requirements of other countries for
animals and animal products exported
from the United States.
Many countries that import animals
from the United States require a
certification that the United States is
free of certain diseases. These countries
may also require the certification
statement to contain additional
declarations regarding the U.S. animals
or products being exported. U.S. trading
partners are increasing import
requirements, which must be addressed
using one of the three Veterinary
Services export health certificates or
country specific export health
certificates. The current collection
includes VS Form 17–141, and we are
revising the collection to add VS Form
17–140 and APHIS Form 7001.
The certificates are completed by an
accredited veterinarian and must be
signed by the accredited veterinarian
who inspects the animals prior to their
departure from the United States, and
endorsed by APHIS.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Emergency Management
Response System.
OMB Number: 0579–0071.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
among other things, administers
regulations intended to prevent foreign
diseases of livestock or poultry from
being introduced into the United States,
conducts surveillance for the early
detection of such foreign animal
diseases, and conducts eradication
programs if such foreign diseases are
detected.
Through our automated Emergency
Management Response System (EMRS),
APHIS helps manage and investigate
potential incidents of foreign animal
diseases in the United States.
When a potential foreign animal
disease incident is reported, APHIS
dispatches a foreign animal disease
veterinary diagnostician to the site to
conduct an investigation. The
diagnostician obtains vital
epidemiologic data by conducting field
investigations, including sample
collection, and by interviewing the
owner or manager of the premises being
investigated. These important data,
submitted electronically by the
diagnostician into EMRS, include such
items as the number of sick or dead
animals on the premises, the results of
necropsy examinations, vaccination
information on the animals in the flock
or herd, biosecurity practices at the site,
whether any animals were recently
moved out of the herd or flock, whether
any new animals were recently
introduced into the herd or flock, and
detailed geographic data concerning
