SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: South American Cactus Moth;
Quarantine and Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0337.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, may carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart—South American Cactus
Moth’’ (7 CFR 301.55 through 301.55–9),
APHIS restricts the interstate movement
of cactus moth host material, including
nursery stock and plant parts for
consumption, from infested areas of the
United States to help prevent the spread
of South American cactus moth into
noninfested areas of the United States.
The regulations contain requirements
for the interstate movement of regulated
articles and involve information
collection activities, including
completion of Federal certificates,
compliance agreements, and limited
permits.
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 0.41
hours per response.
Respondents: State plant health
officials and businesses.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 6.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 7.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 39.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 16 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 16th day of
May 2017.
