An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Special Need Request Under the
Plant Protection Act.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0291.
Summary of Collection: 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.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
Regulations governing the interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles are contained in 7 CFR
part 301, ‘‘Domestic Quarantine
Notices.’’ These regulations allow States
or political subdivisions of States to
request approval from APHIS to impose
prohibitions or restrictions on the
movement in interstate commerce of
specific articles that pose a plant health
risk that are in addition to the
prohibitions and restrictions imposed
by APHIS.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS believes that specific
information—such as a pest data
detection survey with a pest risk
analysis that shows that a pest is not
present in a State, or if already present,
the current distribution in the State, and
that the pest would harm or injure the
environment and/or agricultural
resources of the State or political
subdivision—is needed and would be
considered along with more general
information available to APHIS for the
Administrator to be able to determine
whether to grant or deny a request for
a special need exemption. The
administrator’s determination would be
based upon his or her review of the
information submitted by the State or
PO 00000
