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
0.61926273 hours per response.
Respondents: Flock owners, breeders,
hatchery operators, table-egg producers,
meat-type chicken and turkey slaughter
plant workers, personnel at approved
laboratories, and State personnel.

summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

the United States Department of
Agriculture is authorized, among other
things, to prohibit or restrict the

In part 94, § 94.26 allows the
importation, subject to certain
conditions, of live poultry, poultry
meat, and other poultry products from
certain regions, including Argentina and
the Mexican States of Campeche,
Quintana Roo, and Yucatan, that are free
of exotic Newcastle disease (END). The
conditions for importation require,
among other things, certification from a
full-time salaried veterinary officer of
the national government of the
exporting region that poultry and
poultry products exported from one of
these regions originated in that region
(or in another region recognized by
APHIS as free of END) and that before
the export to the United States, the
poultry and poultry products were not
commingled with poultry and poultry
products from regions where END
exists.
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

OMB Number: 0579–0358.
Type of Request: Extension of

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–

introduction of plant pests into the
United States. The regulations include
requirements for approved production
locations; field sanitation; hot water
treatment; procedures for packing and
shipping the papayas; and fruit fly
trapping in papaya production areas. In
order to document that these
requirements have been met, the
regulations require the use of
phytosanitary certificates 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

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.5
hours per response.
Respondents: National plant
protection organizations of Colombia
and Ecuador and importers of papaya.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 100.666.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 302.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 151 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
