tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
34882
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 117 / Thursday, June 18, 2015 / Notices
OMB Control Number: 0579–0355.
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. 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 319.56–72).
Section 319.56–50 of the regulations
provides the requirements for the
importation of Hass avocados from Peru
into the continental United States. The
regulations require the use of
information collection activities,
including phytosanitary certificates,
trust funds, workplans, recordkeeping,
production site registration, monitoring
and oversight of registered production
sites, packinghouse registration, survey
protocols, box markings, and shipping
documents with the official registration
number of the place of production and
identification of packing shed.
When comparing the regulations to
the information collection activities that
were previously approved, we found
that production site and packinghouse
registration, box markings, and the time
it takes for businesses to escort
inspectors for the required monitoring
were omitted from the previous
collection. We also adjusted the burden
hours for the trust fund and workplan
activities to more accurately capture the
time needed for these activities. Lastly,
we increased the estimated annual
number of respondents from two to
eight to reflect an increase in trade and
additional companies participating in
the export of Hass avocados from Peru
into the continental United States.
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
0.0026 hours per response.
Respondents: National plant
protection organization officials of Peru
and growers, shippers, and importers of
Hass avocados from Peru.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 8.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 50,127.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 401,019.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,048 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 12th day of
June 2015.
