OMB Control Number: 0579–0322. Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701– 7772), The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant pests to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or their dissemination within the United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amended the ‘‘Domestic Quarantine Notices’’ in 7 CFR part 301, subpart titled ‘‘Potato Cyst Nematode’’ (§ .86 through 301.86.9, referred to as the regulations) by quarantining parts of Bingham and Bonneville Counties, ID, due to the discovery of the Potato Cyst Nematode there and establishing restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined area. Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information using certificates, limited permits and compliance agreements to prevent the spread of PCN and to ensure that regulated articles can be moved safely from the quarantined area without spreading PCN. If APHIS did not collect this information, the spread of PCN in the United States could result in a loss of domestic or foreign makers for U.S. potatoes and other commodities. Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 152. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion. Total Burden Hours: 342. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Title: Importation of Mangoes from Australia. OMB Control Number: 0579–0391. Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (PPA) (7 U.S.C 7701—et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to carry out operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests new to the United States or not known to be widely distributed throughout the United States. The regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables’’ (Title 7, CFR 319.56) prohibit or restrict the importation of fruits and vegetables into the U.S. from certain parts of the world. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is responsible for carrying out these duties. APHIS has VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:59 Mar 26, 2015 Jkt 235001 amended the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow, under certain conditions, the importation into the U.S. of commercial consignments of fresh mangoes from Australia. Need and Use of the Information: Conditions for the importation of fresh mangoes from Australia include requirements for pest exclusion at the production site, irradiation treatment, fruit fly trapping inside and outside the production site, pest-excluding packinghouse procedures, port-of-entry inspections and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the National Plant Protection Organization of Australia with an additional declaration confirming that the mangoes have been produced in accordance with the requirements. APHIS will use this information to allow the importation of commercial consignments of fresh mangoes from Australia into the United States. Failing to collect this information would cripple APHIS ability to ensure that mangoes from Australia are not carrying plant pests. Description of Respondents: Federal Government. Number of Respondents: 20. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion. Total Burden Hours: 50. Charlene Parker, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
