SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certification Program for
Imported Articles of Pelargonium spp.
and Solanum spp. to Prevent the
Introduction of Potato Brown Rot.
OMB Number: 0579–0221.
Type of Request: Revision to and
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 and noxious
weeds into the United States.
The regulations in 7 CFR part 319
prohibit or restrict the importation of
certain plants and plant products into
the United States to prevent the
introduction of plant pests. The
regulations contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Plants for Planting,’’ §§ 319.37 through
319.37–14 (referred to below as the
regulations), restrict, among other
things, the importation of living plants,
plant parts, seeds, and plant cuttings for
propagation. These restrictions on
certain importations help to prevent the
introduction of plant pests and diseases,
such as Ralstonia solanacearum race 3
biovar 2, into the United States. R.
solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 is a
bacterium that causes potato brown rot,
which causes potatoes to rot through,
making them unusable and seriously
affecting potato yields.
The regulations provide a certification
program for articles of Pelargonium spp.
and Solanum spp. imported from
countries where R. solanacearum race 3
biovar 2 is known to occur. The
requirements of the certification
program were designed to ensure that R.
solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 will not
be introduced into the United States
through the importation of articles of
Pelargonium spp. and Solanum spp.

The certification program requires
information collection activities,
including a phytosanitary certificate and
additional declaration, trust fund,
compliance agreement, and production
site registration.
The information collection activities
of a phytosanitary certificate, trust fund,
and compliance agreement were
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under control
number 0579–0221. However, when
comparing the regulations with the
information collection activities, we
found that production site registration
was omitted from previous information
collections. This has resulted in a
change of the estimated total annual
burden from 1,022 hours to 1,027 hours.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities, as described, 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: Growers, importers, and
foreign national plant protection
organizations.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 37.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 27.89.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,032.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,027 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

recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is summarized in the

decreased from 88 to 87 resulting in a decrease of 2 reporting burden
hours and a decrease of 104 recordkeeping burden hours. A program
