persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
June 12, 2014.
Title: Bees and Related Articles.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0207.
Summary of Collection: The Plant
Protection Act (APA) (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq), authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to prohibit or 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. Under the
Honeybee Act (7 U.S.C. 281–286), the
Secretary is authorized to prohibit or
restrict the importation of honeybee
semen to prevent the introduction into
the United States of diseases and
parasites harmful to honeybees and of
undesirable species and subspecies of
honeybees. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ),
is responsible for implementing the
intent of these Acts, and does so
through the enforcement of its
pollinator regulations and honeybee
regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS collects information from a
variety of individuals who are involved
in breeding, exporting, importing, and
containing bees and related articles. The
information APHIS collects serves as the
supporting documentation needed to
issue required PPQ forms and
documents that allow importation of
bees and related articles or authorizes
the release of bees. This documentation
is vital to helping APHIS ensure that
exotic bee diseases and parasites, and
undesirable species and subspecies of
honeybees, do not spread into or within
the United States. Without the
information APHIS could not verify that
imported bees and related articles do
not present a significant risk of
introducing exotic bee disease,
parasites, and undesirable species and
subspecies of honeybees.
