Federal Regulations, CFR part 301.
Administering these regulations often
requires APHIS to collect information
from a variety of individuals who are
involved in growing, packing, handling,
transporting, plants and plant products.
The information collected from these
individuals is vital to helping ensure
that injurious plant diseases and insect
pests do not spread within the United
States. Information to be collected is
necessary to determine compliance with
domestic quarantines. Federal/State
domestic quarantines are necessary to
regulate the movement of articles from
infested areas to noninfested area.
Collecting information requires the use
of a number of forms and documents.
APHIS will collect information using
various forms and documents.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information by
interviewing growers and shippers at
the time the inspections are being
conducted and by having growers and
shippers of exported plants and plant
products complete an application for a
transit permit. Information is collected
from the growers, packers, shippers, and
exporters of regulated articles to ensure
that the articles, when moved from a
quarantined area, do not harbor
injurious plant diseases and insect
pests. The information obtained will be
used to determine compliance with
regulations and for issuance of forms,
permits, certificates, and other required
documents.
