Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 121 / Monday, June 24, 2013 / Notices
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of fruits and
vegetables from certain parts of the
world as provided in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits
and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through
319.56–58).
In accordance with these regulations,
APHIS allows the importation of
shepherd’s purse with roots from the
Republic of Korea into the United States
under certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States. As a condition of entry,
fresh shepherd’s purse must be
produced in accordance with a systems
approach that includes requirements for
importation of commercial
consignments, pest-free place of
production, and inspection for
quarantine pests by the national plan
protection organization (NPPO) of the
Republic of Korea. These conditions
involve certain information collection
activities, including sampling, issuance
of a phytosanitary certificate,
recordkeeping, and production site
registration.
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 0.54
hours per response.
Respondents: Importers of fruits and
vegetables, the NPPO of the Republic of
Korea.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 54.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 5.62.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 304.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 163 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 19th day of
June 2013.

I. Abstract
The Census Bureau’s Demonstration
of Administrative Records Improving
Surveys (DARIS) research project began
in 2006 during the redesign of the
Survey of Income and Program
Participation (SIPP). The purpose of
DARIS was to analyze direct and
indirect uses of administrative data to
enhance survey data. DARIS builds
upon ten years of administrative data
research that has demonstrated its value
to State and Federal Agencies. Projects
including the Medicaid Undercount
Project, Earned Income Participation
Rate Project, and research by the Chapin
Hall Center at the University of Chicago
have compared survey and program
data. The Census Bureau benefits from
these projects and the DARIS program
by improving survey frames, developing
model-based edits and allocations, and
evaluating data quality over time.
Collaborating agencies have benefited
through access to reports and
tabulations to better administer their
programs.
Both the Census Bureau and the Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) would like to build on the
successes of the DARIS project by
encouraging State and District of
Columbia Agencies to share Nutrition
Assistance data with the Census Bureau.
Data sharing and analysis of linked files
are solely for statistical purposes, not for
enforcement purposes. The Nutrition
Assistance data are and will remain
confidential, whether in their original
form or when comingled or linked.
The Census Bureau will link the
Nutrition Assistance data with other
records at the Census Bureau, including
but not limited to data from the SIPP,
Current Population Survey, and the
American Community Survey. The
