SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Foreign Quarantine Notices.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0049.
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 to restrict
the importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests and diseases
into the United States or their
dissemination within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
Regulations governing the importation
of plants, fruits, vegetables, roots, bulbs,
seeds, unmanufactured wood articles,
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
48387
and other plant products are contained
in 7 CFR part 319, ‘‘Foreign Quarantine
Notices.’’ Regulations governing the
transit of certain products or articles
that are classified as prohibited or
restricted products or articles are
contained in 7 CFR part 352, ‘‘Plant
Quarantine Safeguard Regulations.’’
The movement of plants and plant
products requires various information
collection activities, such as operational
workplans; audits; pest risk
assessments; cooperative service
agreements; trust funds; production or
processing site/facility registrations;
foreign site certification of inspection
and/or treatment; applications for
permits; appeals of denial or revocation
of permits; requests for additional
mailing labels; compliance agreements;
phytosanitary certificates; labeling;
importer documents; agreements for
post entry quarantine State screening
notices; 30-day article notifications;
requests for emergency transshipment or
division; notices of arrival; emergency
action notifications; and monitoring/
recordkeeping from entities responsible
for growing, packing, handling,
transporting, and importing foreign
plant parts (roots, bulbs, seeds, fruit,
leaves, etc.), plant products, timber, and
timber products. In addition, APHIS
collects required information from
national plant protection organizations
(NPPOs) as part of the commodity
import approval process.
The information collected is vital to
helping APHIS ensure that plants and
plant products do not harbor plant pests
or diseases that, if introduced into the
United States, could cause extensive
economic damage to U.S. agriculture.
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 0.011 hours per
response.
Respondents: Facilities; growers;
producers; production, processing, and
packing sites; importers; individuals;
businesses; brokers; shippers; NPPOs;
and foreign plant protection authorities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 22,315.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2,803.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 62,552,921.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 712,982 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Contract Pilot and Aircraft
Acceptance.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0298.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States. This authority has
been delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
As part of this mission, APHIS’ Plant
Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
program responds to introductions of
plant pests with eradication,
suppression, or containment through
various programs in cooperation with
State departments of agriculture and
other government agencies. These
programs may include the aerial
application of treatments to control
plant pests.
APHIS contracts for these services,
and prior to any aerial applications,
requests certain information from the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
contractors and/or contract pilots to
ensure that the work will be done
according to specifications. Among
other things, APHIS asks to see the
aircraft registration, the aircraft’s
airworthiness certificate, the pilot’s
license, the pilot’s medical certification,
the pilot’s proof of flight review, the
pilot’s pesticide applicator’s license,
and the aircraft logbook. Information
from these documents and aircraft
inspection results are consolidated by
APHIS for signature by the APHIS
official and the contractor or contract
pilot, indicating acceptance of the pilot
and aircraft for the job.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities 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

(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 0.27 hours per
response.
Respondents: Contractors and/or
contract pilots of aircraft.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 30.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 30.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 8 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.
