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

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 319.56–76).
In accordance with § 319.56–63, fresh
apricots from continental Spain are
subject to certain conditions before
entering the United States to ensure that
certain quarantine plant pests are not
introduced into the United States. The
regulations require the use of
information collection activities,
including an operational workplan, trust
fund agreement, production site and
packinghouse registration, box labeling
and shipping documents, a
phytosanitary certificate, and
recordkeeping.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities 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 2.55
hours per response.
Respondents: Growers and importers
of apricots from continental Spain and
the national plant protection
organization of Spain.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 22.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 4.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 84.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 214 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.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Cooperative Agricultural Pest
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0010.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection
Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized, either
independently or in cooperation with
the States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States. This authority has
been delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
To carry out this mission, APHIS’
Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
program has joined forces with the
States and other agencies to create a
program called the Cooperative
Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS). The
CAPS program coordinates efforts
through cooperative agreements with
the States and other agencies to collect
and manage data on plant pests, noxious
weeds, and biological control agents,
which may be used to control plant
pests or noxious weeds.
This program allows the States and
PPQ to conduct surveillance activities to
detect and measure the presence of
exotic plant pests and weeds and to
input surveillance data into a uniform
national system. Among other things,
this allows APHIS to obtain a more
comprehensive picture of plant pest
conditions in the United States.
The CAPS program involves certain
information collection activities, such as
cooperative agreements, pest detection
surveys, a disclosure form, a form for
determination of specimens, and
various application forms.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities 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

(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 0.24
hours per response.
Respondents: State cooperators
participating in CAPS and not-for-profit
organizations.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 54.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 271.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 14,634.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 3,573 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.
