SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Peppers From the
Republic of Korea.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0282.
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 319.56–71).
In accordance with § 319.56–42,
peppers from the Republic of Korea are
subject to certain conditions before
entering the continental United States to
prevent the introduction of plant pests
into the United States. The regulations
include requirements for greenhouse
registration and inspection by officials
of the National Plant Quarantine Service
(NPQS) of the Republic of Korea and the
use of a phytosanitary certificate with a
declaration by NPQS officials stating the
peppers were grown in greenhouses in
accordance with the regulations and
inspected and found free of the listed
plant pests.
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 0.67
hours per response.
Respondents: National Plant
Quarantine Service of the Republic of
Korea.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 6.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 4 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 4th day of
