SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Papayas From
Peru.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0410.
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 319.56–83).
In accordance with § 319.56–25,
papayas from Peru 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 that include applications for
permits; registration of growing sites;
inspections of crops, insect traps, and
recordkeeping; submitting notices of
arrival to ports; and responding to
emergency action notifications. Also,
each consignment of papayas must be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the national plant
protection organization (NPPO) of Peru
containing an additional declaration
stating the papayas were grown, packed,

and shipped in accordance with
§ 319.56–25. These actions allow the
importation of papayas from Peru while
continuing to protect the United States
against the introduction of plant pests.
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
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.53 hours per
response.
Respondents: Growers and importers
of papayas from Peru and the NPPO of
Peru.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 52.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 54.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 2,804.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,507 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.
