Title: Importation of Fresh Bananas
from the Philippines into the
Continental United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0394.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. The
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Fruit and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56, referred to
as the regulations) prohibit or restrict
the importation of fruits and vegetables
into the United States from certain parts
of the world to prevent the introduction
and dissemination of plant pests that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) uses the following
information collection activities to
allow the import of fresh bananas from
the Philippines into the continental
United States in accordance with the
requirements which will restrict any
plant pests from entering the United
States: (1) Bilateral Workplan; (2)
Production Site Registration; (3)
Monitoring and Oversight; (4) Maintain
All Forms and Documents that Include
Fruit Fly Detections and Updating
Records; (5) Carton Marking with
Production Site Number; (6) Hard Green
Stage Harvest Certification; (7)
Investigations; (8) Fruit Fly Trapping for
Low Pest Prevalence; (9) Shipping
Documents; and (10) Phytosanitary
Certificates with Declaration. Failure to
collect this information would cripple
APHIS’ ability to ensure that bananas
from the Philippines are not carrying
plant pests.

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(the Act, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to restrict the importation, entry,
exportation, or interstate movement of
plants, plant products, biological
control organisms, noxious weeds,
articles, or means of conveyance, if the
Secretary determines that the
prohibition or restriction is necessary to
prevent the introduction of plant pests
or noxious weeds into the United States
or their dissemination within the United
States. The associated regulations that
were issued by the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are
located in 7 CFR parts 330 and 360.
These regulations contain information
collection activities that include, but are
not limited to, applications, including
applications for permits to import
regulated articles (e.g., plant pests,
noxious weeds, or soil) or to move
regulated articles interstate; labels;
compliance agreements; and appeal,
denial, and cancellation of permits.
These information collection activities
allow APHIS to evaluate the risks
associated with the importation or
interstate movement of plant pests,
noxious weeds, and soil, and also assists
with developing risk mitigations, if
necessary, for the importation or
interstate movement of plant pests,
noxious weeds, and soil.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 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
