SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Tomatoes With
Stems From the Republic of Korea.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0371.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection
Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to
prohibit or 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
regulates the importation of certain
fruits and vegetables in accordance with
the regulations contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56
through 319.56–76).
Under the regulations, tomatoes with
stems from the Republic of Korea may
be imported into the United States
under certain conditions, as listed in 7
CFR 319.56–52, to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States. These regulations require
information collection activities
including inspection, registered pestexclusionary structures, recordkeeping,
trapping, and a phytosanitary certificate
with an additional declaration stating
that the tomatoes were produced in
accordance with the regulations.
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
0.589 hours per response.
Respondents: Growers, importers, and
exporters of tomatoes with stems from
the Republic of Korea; and the national
plant protection organization of the
Republic of Korea.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 31.7.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 95.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 56 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 4th day of
May 2017.
