SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0173.
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. As authorized
by the PPA, the United States
Department of Agriculture, Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of citrus fruit
from certain parts of the world as
provided in ‘‘Subpart—Citrus Fruit’’ (7
CFR 319.28).
In accordance with these regulations,
APHIS allows the importation of Unshu
oranges from certain regions into the
United States under certain conditions
to prevent the introduction of plant
pests into the United States. These
conditions involve the use of
information collection activities,
including markings, registrations,
permits, and certificates.
The information collection
requirements above are currently
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control
Number 0579–0173, Importation of
Unshu Oranges, and OMB Control
Number 0579–0418, Importation of
Fresh Unshu Oranges From Japan into
the United States. After OMB approves
this combined information collection
package (0579–0173), APHIS will retire
OMB Control Number 0579–0418.
We are asking 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 0.08
hours per response.
Respondents: Growers and
packinghouses of Unshu oranges, and
the national plant protection
organization of the exporting region.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 27.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2,469.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 66,663.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 5,585 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 13th day of
January 2017.
