SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Domestic Quarantine
Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0088.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection
Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit
or restrict the importation, entry, or
movement in interstate commerce of
any plant, plant product, biological
control organism, noxious weed, article,
or means of conveyance, if the Secretary
determines that the prohibition or
restriction is necessary to prevent the
introduction or the dissemination of a
plant pest into the United States.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service’s (APHIS’)
regulations in 7 CFR part 301,
‘‘Domestic Quarantine Notices,’’ are
necessary to regulate the movement of
certain articles from infested areas to
noninfested areas to prevent the spread
of plant pests. These measures help
prevent the pests from spreading from
quarantined areas to noninfested areas
of the United States.
Administering these regulations
requires APHIS to collect information
from a variety of individuals who are
involved in growing, packing, handling,
and transporting plants and plant
products. The information serves as
supporting documentation required for
the issuance of forms and documents
that authorize the movement of
regulated plants and plant products and
is vital to help prevent the spread of
injurious plant pests within the United
States. Collecting this information
requires APHIS to use a number of
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
forms and documents, including
permits and certificates; applications;
compliance and cooperative agreements;
workplans and petitions; requests for
inspection; labeling, notices, and
reports; emergency action notifications
and reports of violation; warnings,
cancellations, and appeals; and
recordkeeping.
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 0.28 hours per
response.
Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal
government agricultural representatives,
agricultural business representatives,
and private citizens.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 8,821.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 108.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 948,507.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 261,393 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: Domestic Quarantine Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0088.
Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.),
the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, or movement in interstate commerce of any plant,
plant product, biological control organism, noxious weed, article, or
means of conveyance, if the Secretary determines that the prohibition
or restriction is necessary to prevent the introduction or the
dissemination of a plant pest into the United States.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS')
regulations in 7 CFR part 301, ``Domestic Quarantine Notices,'' are
necessary to regulate the movement of certain articles from infested
areas to noninfested areas to prevent the spread of plant pests. These
measures help prevent the pests from spreading from quarantined areas
to noninfested areas of the United States.
Administering these regulations requires APHIS to collect
information from a variety of individuals who are involved in growing,
packing, handling, and transporting plants and plant products. The
information serves as supporting documentation required for the
issuance of forms and documents that authorize the movement of
regulated plants and plant products and is vital to help prevent the
spread of injurious plant pests within the United States. Collecting
this information requires APHIS to use a number of forms and documents,
including permits and certificates; applications; compliance and
cooperative agreements; workplans and petitions; requests for
inspection; labeling, notices, and reports; emergency action
notifications and reports of violation; warnings, cancellations, and
appeals; and recordkeeping.
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;

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 0.28 hours per response.
Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal government agricultural
representatives, agricultural business representatives, and private
citizens.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 8,821.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 108.
Estimated annual number of responses: 948,507.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 261,393 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.
