SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Fresh Pitaya
Fruit From Central America Into the
Continental United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0378.
Type of Request: Revision to and
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, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of certain
fruits and vegetables in accordance with
the regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319.56–69).
Under these regulations, fresh pitaya
from Central America may be imported
into the continental United States under
certain conditions, as listed in 7 CFR
319.56–55, to prevent the introduction
of plant pests into the United States.
The regulations require information
collection activities, including
production site certification and
registration, review and maintenance of
records, packinghouse registration, a
workplan, records of fruit fly detections
and checking of traps, identification of
places of production on shipping
documents, box marking, and a
phytosanitary certificate with an
additional declaration.
When comparing the regulations to
the information collection activities that
were previously approved, we found
that production site registration and box
markings were omitted from the
