SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Fresh Andean
Blackberry and Raspberry Fruit From
Ecuador Into the Continental United
States.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0435.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to carry out
operations or measures to detect,
eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or
retard the spread of plant pests new to
the United States or not known to be
widely distributed throughout the
United States.
The regulations in ‘‘Subpart L-Fruits
and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1
through 319.56–12, referred to as the
regulations) prohibit or restrict the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States from certain parts of
the world to prevent the introduction
and dissemination of plant pests that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service allows the
importation of fresh Andean
blackberries and raspberries into the
United States from Ecuador. As a
condition of entry, the fruit must be
produced in accordance with a systems
approach. This systems approach
includes information activities such as
production and packinghouse
registration, an operational workplan,
records of fruit fly trap placement and
monitoring, recordkeeping, and a
quality control program. The fruit must
also be imported in commercial
consignments and accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
national plant protection organization

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

within the United States. Regulations
authorized by the PPA concerning the
importation of wooden handicrafts from
China are contained in ‘‘Subpart I—
Logs, Lumber, and Other Wood
Articles’’ (7 CFR 319.40–1 through
319.40–11).
The regulations provide the
requirements for the importation of
wooden handicrafts from China. These
regulations include and require the use
of an identification tag. All packages
that are used to ship wooden
handicrafts must be labeled with a
merchandise tag containing the identity
of the product manufacturer. This tag
must be applied to each shipping
package in China prior to export and
remain attached to the package until it
reaches the location at which the
wooden handicraft will be sold in the
United States. Fumigation certificates
are also required to verify that the
articles have been treated in accordance
with the regulations. An import permit
must also be issued by the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service, which
requires importers to complete an
application. In addition, importers must
provide a notice of arrival and respond
to emergency action notifications, when
applicable.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
