SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Untreated Oranges, Tangerines,
and Grapefruit from Mexico Transiting
the United States to Foreign Countries.
OMB Number: 0579–0303.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (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 or their
dissemination within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service.
The plant quarantine safeguard
regulations in title 7, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 352 allow certain
products or articles that are classified as
prohibited or restricted under other
regulations in title 7 to be moved into
or through the United States under
certain conditions. Such articles include
fruits and vegetables that are moved into
the United States for: (1) A temporary
stay where unloading or landing is not
intended; (2) unloading or landing for
transshipment and exportation; (3)
unloading or landing for transportation
and exportation; or (4) unloading and
entry at a port other than the port of first
arrival. Fruits and vegetables that are
moved into the United States under
these circumstances are subject to
inspection and must be handled in
accordance with conditions assigned
under the safeguard regulations to
prevent the introduction and
dissemination of plant pests.
In accordance with § 352.30,
untreated oranges, tangerines, and
grapefruit from Mexico may be moved
into or through the United States in
transit to foreign countries under certain
conditions to prevent the introduction
of plant pests into the United States.
These conditions involve the use of an
information collection that includes an
Application for Permit to Transit Plants
and/or Plant Products, Plant Pests, and/
or Associated Soil Through the United
States (Plant Protection and Quarantine
Form 586).
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity 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:
