SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Litchi and
Longan Fruit from Vietnam Into the
Continental United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0387.
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 regulates the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world as provided in ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–80).
In accordance with § 319.56–70, fresh
litchi and longan fruit from Vietnam
may be imported into the continental
United States under certain conditions
to prevent the introduction of plant
pests into the United States. These
conditions require the use of certain
information collection activities
including an application for permit to
import plants and plant products,
appeal of denial or revocation of permit,
emergency action notification, notice of
arrival, registration of production sites,
labeling of packages, and recordkeeping.
Also, each consignment of litchi or
longan fruit must be accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
national plant protection organization
(NPPO) of Vietnam with an additional
declaration stating that the provisions of
§ 319.56–70 have been met, and that the
consignment was inspected prior to
export. In addition, for litchi fruit, the
phytosanitary certificate must indicate
that the consignment was found free of
Phytophthora litchii.
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;
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
(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
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.019 hours per
response.
Respondents: Growers and importers
of litchi and longan fruit from Vietnam,
and the NPPO of Vietnam.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 7.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 4,432.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 31,021.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 574 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 31st day of
October 2017.
Kevin Shea,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
