previous collection. By adding these
two activities to this information
collection, the estimated total annual
burden on respondents has increased
from 122 hours to 284 hours, and the
estimated annual number of responses
has increased from 141 to 100,148.
However, the estimate of burden has
decreased from 0.8652 hours per
response to 0.002 hours per response.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (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
0.002 hours per response.
Respondents: Shippers and producers
of fresh pitaya and the national plant
protection organizations in Central
America.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 27.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3,709.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 100,148.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 284 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Baby Squash and
Baby Courgettes From Zambia.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0347.
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. Regulations
authorized by the PPA concerning the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–69).
Section 319.56–48 provides for the
importation of baby squash and baby
courgettes from Zambia into the
continental United States under certain
conditions. These regulations require
the use of certain information collection
activities, such as inspection of
greenhouses, labeling of cartons,
maintaining required trapping records,
and phytosanitary certificates issued by
the national plant protection
organization (NPPO) of Zambia with an
additional declaration that the baby
squash or baby courgettes were
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

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has
the responsibility for the conservation
and management of marine fishery
resources. Much of this responsibility
has been delegated to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)/National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Under this stewardship role, the
Secretary was given certain regulatory
authorities to ensure the most beneficial
uses of these resources. One of the
regulatory steps taken to carry out the
conservation and management
objectives is to collect data from users
of the resource.
Regulations at 50 CFR 648.11(g)
require observer service providers to
comply with specific requirements in
order to operate as an approved
provider in the Atlantic sea scallop
(scallop) fishery. Observer service
providers must comply with the
following requirements: submit
applications for approval as an observer
service provider; formally request
observer training by the Northeast
Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP);
submit observer deployment reports and
biological samples; give notification of
whether a vessel must carry an observer
within 24 hours of the vessel owner’s
notification of a prospective trip;
maintain an updated contact list of all
observers that includes the observer
identification number; observer’s name
mailing address, email address, phone
numbers, homeports or fisheries/trip
types assigned, and whether or not the
observer is ‘‘in service.’’ The regulations
also require observer service providers
submit any outreach materials, such as
informational pamphlets, payment
notification, and descriptions of
observer duties as well as all contracts
between the service provider and
entities requiring observer services for
review to NMFS/NEFOP. Observer
service providers also have the option to
respond to application denials, and
