SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Fresh Bananas
From the Philippines Into the
Continental United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0394.
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 319.56–74).

Section 319.56–58 of the regulations
provides the requirements for the
importation of bananas from the
Philippines into the continental United
States. The regulations require the use
of information collection activities,
including operational workplans,
recordkeeping, production site
registration, monitoring and oversight of
registered production sites, fruit fly
trapping to establish places of
production with low pest prevalence,
investigations, certification of harvest
stage, carton markings, shipping
documents, and phytosanitary
certificates with an additional
declaration.
When comparing the regulations to
the information collection activities that
were previously approved, we found
that several of the information
collection activities above were not
included. We have adjusted the overall
estimates of burden accordingly.
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
0.0076 hours per response.
Respondents: Producers and
importers of bananas from the
Philippines and national plant
protection organization officials of the
Philippines.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 41.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3,924.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 160,891.

summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

Abstract: The Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (NSLA), as
amended, authorizes the National
School Lunch Program (NSLP) to
safeguard the health and well-being of
the nation’s children and provide free or
reduced price school lunches to
qualified students through subsidies to
schools. Section 10 of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1779)
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
prescribe such regulations as deemed
necessary to carry out this Act and the
NSLA (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.). Pursuant
to that provision, the Secretary has
issued 7 CFR part 210, which sets forth
policies and procedures for the
administration and operation of the
NSLP. The United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) provides States
with general and special cash assistance
and donations of foods to assist schools
in serving nutritious lunches to children
each school day. Participating State
agencies must conduct administrative
reviews to monitor compliance with
Program requirements. FNS collects

Program data from State agencies on
FNS forms that have been approved by
OMB. The FNS–640 form collects

and FNS is proposing revisions to
reflect changes to the administrative
review process and revisions to
incorporate the form into an electronic
report for the Food Program Reporting
System (FPRS). Upon approval of the
proposed revisions by OMB, the
reporting burden for this form will be
merged into the FPRS information
collection, OMB control # 0584–0594,
expiration date 06/30/2017. The
reporting and recordkeeping burden
hours associated with this revision are
not changing.
This information collection is
required to administer and operate this
program in accordance with the NSLA.
All of the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements associated with the NSLP
are currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget and are in
force. This is a revision of the currently
approved information collection.
