Title: Agriculture Select Agent
Services; Import and Transport Permits
for Non-Select Materials.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0213.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (the Act, 7 U.S.C. 8301 et
seq.) authorizes the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to provide for the
oversight of the importation, entry, and
movement in the United States of
animals, pests or diseases, or any
material or tangible object that could
harbor them. Under the Act, USDA
regulates certain organisms, biological
agents, toxins, vectors, and animal
products that have the potential to pose
a severe threat to animal health or to
animal products through the risk of
disease or pest introduction.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) has the
primary responsibility for implementing
the provisions of the Act within USDA.
APHIS regulations for these activities
are contained in 9 CFR part 94 (animals
or animal products), 9 CFR part 95
(animal byproducts) and 9 CFR part 122
(organisms and vectors). The regulations
require an individual or entity, unless
specifically exempted under the
regulations, to apply for and be granted,
by APHIS, a permit authorizing specific
import or transport activities for
regulated materials prior to engaging in
the activities.
APHIS has revised the name of this
information collection from ‘‘Select
Agent Registration’’ to ‘‘Agriculture
Select Agent Services; Import and
Transport Permits for Non-Select
Materials.’’
The information collection activities
associated with the regulation of select
agents and toxins, a related activity, are
included in Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number 0920–
0576. In addition to maintaining
approval of OMB control number 0920–
0576, we are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities, as described, for the nonselect agent aspects of the program for
3 years under 0579–0213.
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 1.84 hours per
response.
Respondents: Researchers,
universities, research and development
organizations, diagnostic laboratories,
and other interested parties.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 3,214.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 3,283.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 6,055 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 14th day of
February 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Location of Irradiation
Treatment Facilities in the United
States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0383.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The regulations contained in
7 CFR part 305 (referred to below as the
regulations) set out the general
requirements for performing treatments
and certifying or approving treatment
facilities for fruits, vegetables, and other
articles to prevent the introduction or
dissemination of plant pests or noxious
weeds into or through the United States.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture administers these
regulations.
Section 305.9 provides generic criteria
for new irradiation treatment facilities
in the United States to be located
anywhere in the United States, subject
to approval. APHIS also allows the
irradiation treatment of certain imported
fruit from various countries upon arrival
in the United States. The regulations
facilitate the importation of
commodities requiring irradiation
treatment while continuing to provide
protection against the introduction of
pests of concern into the United States.
The information collection activities
associated with the location of
irradiation facilities include request for
initial certification and inspection of
facility, certification and recertification,
denial and withdrawal of certification,
compliance agreements, irradiation
facilities treating imported articles,
irradiation treatment framework
equivalency workplan, irradiation
facilities notification, recordkeeping,
facility contingency plan, letter of
concurrence or non-agreement,
treatment arrangements, pest
management plan, and facility layout
map. In addition, each facility must
provide APHIS with an updated map
identifying places where horticultural or
other crops are grown within 4 square
miles of the facility.
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;
