SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Fresh
Pomegranates From Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0375.
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 Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation of certain
fruits and vegetables in accordance with
the regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319.56–76).
Under the regulations, fresh
pomegranates from Chile may be
imported into the continental United
States under certain conditions, as listed
in 7 CFR 319.56–56, to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States. Under the systems
approach, the fruit has to be grown in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:48 Apr 21, 2017
Jkt 241001
a place of production that is registered
with the Government of Chile and
certified as having a low prevalence of
Brevipalpus chilensis. The fruit must
undergo pre-harvest sampling at the
registered production site. Following
post-harvest processing, the fruit must
be inspected in Chile at an approved
inspection site. Each consignment of
fruit must be accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate with an
additional declaration stating that the
fruit has been found free of B. chilensis
based on field and packinghouse
inspections. This allows for the safe
importation of pomegranates from Chile
using mitigation measures other than
fumigation with methyl bromide.
The regulations require respondents
to complete documents such as a foreign
phytosanitary certificate, phytosanitary
inspections, marking of cartons,
production site registration, a list of
certified production sites, low
prevalence production site certification,
and identifying shipping documents.
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
0.015 hours per response.
Respondents: Importers, producers,
and the national plant protection
organization of Chile.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6,190.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 30,949.

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

the plant pathogen that causes the
disease commonly known as sudden
oak death. The regulations contain

nursery stock and certain trees, from
both quarantined and nonquarantined
areas and involve information collection
activities, including compliance

fungicide applications, recordkeeping of
incoming and outgoing shipments of
plants, notification of high risk P.
