SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Eggplant From
Israel.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0350.
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 ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–69).
Section 319.56–49 of the regulations
provides for the importation of eggplant
from Israel into the continental United
States under specified conditions
intended to prevent the introduction of
certain quarantine pests. These
requirements include the use of
information collection activities, such as
trapping records, box labeling, approval
(grower registration) and inspection of
pest-exclusionary structures, and a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
national plant protection organization
(NPPO) of Israel with an additional
declaration confirming that the eggplant
has been produced in accordance with
the regulations.
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 1.0
hour per response.
Respondents: Importers and growers
of eggplant and the NPPO of Israel.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.667.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 5.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 5 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 30th day of

Veterinary biological products
include viruses, serums, toxins, and
analogous products of natural or
synthetic origin, such as vaccines,
antitoxins, or the immunizing
components of microorganisms
intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or
prevention of diseases in domestic
animals.
APHIS issues licenses to qualified
establishments that produce veterinary
biological products and issues permits
to importers of such products. APHIS
also enforces requirements concerning
production, packaging, labeling, and
shipping of these products and sets
standards for the testing of these
products.
To help ensure that veterinary
biological products used in the United
States are pure, safe, potent, and
effective, APHIS requires certain
information collection activities,
including, among other things,
establishment license applications,
product license applications, product
import permit applications, product and
test report forms, field study summaries,
stop distribution and sale notifications,
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

reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
1.976 hours per response.

biological products; State veterinary
authorities; and operators of
