SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Plum Pox Compensation.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0159.
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, either
independently or in cooperation with
the States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests, such as plum pox virus
(PPV), that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
Plum pox is an extremely serious viral
disease of plants that can affect many
Prunus (stone fruit) species, including
plum, peach, apricot, almond, nectarine,
and sweet and tart cherry. A number of
wild and ornamental Prunus species
may also be susceptible to this disease.
Infection eventually results in severely
reduced fruit production, and the fruit
that is produced is often misshapen and
blemished. PPV is transmitted under
natural conditions by several species of
aphids. The long distance spread of PPV
occurs by budding and grafting with
infected plant material and by farm
tools/equipment, and through
movement of infected budwood, nursery
stock, and other plant parts. There are
no known effective methods for treating
trees or other plant material infected
with PPV, nor are there any known
effective preventive treatments. Without
effective treatments, the only option for
preventing the spread of the disease is
the destruction of infected and exposed
trees and other infected plant material.
The regulations in ‘‘Subpart L—Plum
Pox’’ (7 CFR 301.74–301.74–5)
quarantine areas of the United States
where PPV has been detected, restrict
the interstate movement of host material
from quarantined areas, and when the
Secretary of Agriculture declares an
extraordinary emergency, provides for
compensation to owners of commercial
stone fruit orchards and fruit tree
nurseries whose trees or nursery stock
were destroyed to eradicate PPV.
Eligible applicants must submit an
application for compensation with a

supplemental indemnity claim
statement. This may include providing
direct deposit information for claim
payment and applying for a data
universal numbering system (DUNS)
number, if needed. Applicants must also
maintain or provide records verifying
losses and destruction of stocks, and
respond to an emergency action
notification if issued by the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service.
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 1 hour per
response.
Respondents: Owners and affiliates of
stone fruit orchards and fruit tree
nurseries, and State plant health
officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 5.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 5 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.
