Jkt 244001
OMB Control Number: 0579–0391.
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. Regulations
authorized by the PPA concerning the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–82).
In accordance with § 319.56–60,
mangoes from Australia are subject to
certain conditions before entering the
continental United States to ensure that
plant pests are not introduced into the
United States. The regulations require
information collection activities that
include inspections, emergency action
notification, notice of arrival,
recordkeeping, and the inspection of the
production site by the national plant
protection organization (NPPO) of
Australia. In addition, each shipment of
mangoes must be accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
NPPO of Australia with an additional
declaration stating that the mangoes
were inspected prior to export and
found free of certain pests and treated
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. APHIS needs
this outside input to help accomplish
the following:
(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, (such as through the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.)
