SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Phytosanitary Export
Certification.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0052.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to certify as to
the freedom of plants, plant products, or
biological control organisms from plant
pests or noxious weeds, or the exposure
of plants, plant products, or biological
control organisms to plant pests or
noxious weeds, according to the
phytosanitary or other requirements of
the countries to which the plants, plant
products, or biological control
organisms may be exported.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), among
other things, provides export
certification services to assure other
countries that the plants and plant
products they are receiving from the
United States are free of plant pests
specified by the receiving country. Our
regulations do not require that we
engage in export certification activities.
However, we perform this work as a
service to exporters who are shipping
plants or plant products to countries
that require phytosanitary certification
as a condition of entry.
The export certification regulations in
7 CFR part 353 describe the procedures
for obtaining certification for plants and
plant products offered for export or reexport. To request that we perform a
phytosanitary inspection, an exporter
must complete and submit an
Application for Inspection and
Certification of Plants and Plant
Products for Export (PPQ Form 572).
