SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Mangoes From
India Into the Continental United States.
OMB Number: 0579–0312.
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. As authorized
by the PPA, APHIS regulates the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world as provided in ‘‘SubpartFruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–56).
In accordance with these regulations,
APHIS allows the importation of
mangoes from India into the continental
United States under certain conditions
to prevent the introduction of plant
pests into the United States. These
conditions involve the use of
information collection activities, one of
which is a phytosanitary certificate. As
a condition of entry, the mangoes must
undergo irradiation treatment and be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate with additional declaration
statements providing specific
information regarding the treatment and
inspection of the mangoes and the
orchards in which they are grown. The
additional information collection
activities that are required include a
preclearance workplan, trust fund
agreement, compliance agreement,
monitoring and certification of

inspections and treatments, 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
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 0.53
hours per response.
Respondents: Importers and the
national plant protection organization of
India.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 152.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 33.61.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 5,109.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 2,685 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.
