authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture,
either independently or in cooperation
with States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States. This authority has
been delegated to the Administrator,
Animal and Plant Health Inspection

lands by aerial spraying of pesticides
from aircraft.

Quarantine personnel who are involved
with contracts for aerial application
services for emergency pest outbreaks.
The forms are used to document that the
pilot and aircraft meet contract
specifications. If APHIS did not collect
this information or collected it less
frequently, APHIS would not be able to
verify if APHIS contracts for aerial
application services met specifications.
