SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Phytosanitary Export
Certification.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0052.
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 certify as to
the freedom of plants, plant products, or
biological control organisms from plant
pests or noxious weeds, or the exposure
of plants, plant products, or biological
control organisms to plant pests or
noxious weeds, according to the
phytosanitary or other requirements of
the countries to which the plants, plant
products, or biological control
organisms may be exported.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), among
other things, provides export
certification services to assure other
countries that the plants and plant
products they are receiving from the
United States are free of plant pests
specified by the receiving country. Our
regulations do not require that we
engage in export certification activities.
However, we perform this work as a
service to exporters who are shipping
plants or plant products to countries
that require phytosanitary certification
as a condition of entry.
The export certification regulations in
7 CFR part 353 describe the procedures
for obtaining certification for plants and
plant products offered for export or reexport. To request that we perform a
phytosanitary inspection, an exporter
must complete and submit an
Application for Inspection and
Certification of Plants and Plant
Products for Export.
After assessing the condition of the
plants or plant products intended for
export (i.e., after conducting a
phytosanitary inspection), an inspector
(who may be an APHIS employee or a
State or county plant regulatory official)
will issue an internationally recognized

phytosanitary certificate, a
phytosanitary certificate for re-export, or
an export certificate for processed plant
products. These forms are critical to our
ability to certify plants and plant
products for export. Without them, we
would be unable to conduct an export
certification program.
In addition, APHIS requires
information collection activities such as
the recordkeeping, a memorandum of
understanding for State inspectors,
request for APHIS to negotiate with
national plant protection organizations
for industry-issued certificates or
documentation, memorandum of
understanding with industry for
inspection and use of International
Standards for Phytosanitary Measures
Guidelines for Regulating Wood
Packaging Material in International
Trade (ISPM 15), and the application of
an ISPM 15 mark.
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
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.0074 hours per response.
Respondents: State, local, and county
plant regulatory officials, U.S. growers,
shippers, and exporters.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 9,101.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6,155.3.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 56,019,465.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 412,985 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 26th day of
November 2019.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
