Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0173.
Summary of Collection: The Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–7772)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to restrict the importation, entry, or
interstate movement of plants, plant
products, and other articles to prevent
the introduction or dissemination of
plant pests into the United States. The
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Citrus Fruit’’ (7
CFR 319.28) allow the importation of
Unshu oranges from certain parts of
Japan into the United States under
certain conditions. A foreign
phytosanitary certificate must
accompany the unshu oranges from the
Japanese Government’s Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries

canker.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
(APHIS) will collect information using
form PPQ 203 (Foreign Site Certificate
of Inspection and/or Treatment), PPQ
587 (Application for Permit to Import
Plants or Plant Products), packinghouse
registration, certification for fumigation
facilities, and box markings. The
information from the forms and other
activities will be used to certify that
unshu oranges from Japan are free of
citrus canker. To ensure that the oranges
from Kyushu Island are not imported
into citrus-producing areas of the
United States such as Florida and
California, boxes must be stamped or
labeled with a statement specifying the
State into which the oranges may be
imported, and from which they are
prohibited removal under a Federal
quarantine. Failing to collect this
information would cripple APHIS’
ability to certify Unshu oranges from
Japan are not carrying citrus canker.

Title: Interstate Movement of Fruit
from Hawaii.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0331.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–et

among other things, the interstate
movement of fruits and vegetables from
Hawaii. These regulations are necessary
to prevent the spread of plant diseases
and pests that occur in Hawaii but not
on the mainland United States. The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) regulations allow
mangosteen, dragon fruit, melon, pods
of cowpea and its relatives, breadfruit,
jackfruit, and fresh drumstick tree pods
to be moved interstate from Hawaii
under certain conditions to the
mainland United States while
continuing to provide protection against
the spread of plant pests from Hawaii in
the continental United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Citrus Canker; Interstate
Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock
and Fruit From Quarantined Areas.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0317.
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, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests, such as citrus canker, that
are new to or not widely distributed
within the United States.
Citrus canker is a plant disease that
affects plant and plant parts, including
fresh fruit of citrus and citrus relatives
(family Rutaceae). Citrus canker can
cause defoliation and other serious
damage to the leaves and twigs of
susceptible plants. It can also cause
lesions on the fruit of infected plants
and cause infected fruit to drop from
trees before reaching maturity. The
aggressive A (Asiatic) strain of citrus
canker can infect susceptible plants
rapidly and lead to extensive economic
losses in commercial citrus-producing
areas.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service regulations to
prevent the interstate spread of citrus
canker are contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Citrus Canker’’ (7 CFR 301.75–1 through
301.75–17). The regulations restrict the
interstate movement of regulated
articles from and through areas
quarantined because of citrus canker
and provide, among other things,
conditions under which regulated
nursery stock and fruit may be moved
interstate. The interstate movement of
regulated nursery stock and fruit from
quarantined areas involves information
collection activities, including
compliance agreements, package
marking, certificates, and limited
permits.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
18731
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 0.19
hours per response.
Respondents: Citrus growers and
packinghouses.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 400.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 36.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 14,402.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 2,742 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 17th day of
April 2017.
