SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bees and Related Articles.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0207.
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 to restrict the
importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States.
Under the Honeybee Act (7 U.S.C. 281
through 286), the Secretary is
authorized to prohibit or restrict the
importation of honeybees and honeybee
semen to prevent the introduction into
the United States of diseases and
parasites harmful to honeybees and of
undesirable species such as the African
honeybee. This authority has been
delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
The establishment of certain bee
diseases, parasites, or undesirable
species and subspecies of honeybees in
the United States could cause
substantial reductions in pollination by
bees. These reductions could cause
serious damage to crops and other
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:51 Aug 03, 2023
Jkt 259001
plants and result in substantial financial
losses to American agriculture.
Regulations for the importation of
honeybees and honeybee semen and
regulations to prevent the introduction
of exotic bee diseases and parasites
through the importation of bees other
than honeybees, certain beekeeping
products, and used beekeeping
equipment are contained in 7 CFR part
322, ‘‘Bees, Beekeeping Byproducts, and
Beekeeping Equipment.’’ These
regulations require the use of certain
information collection activities,
including application for a permit, State
consultation, written agreement to
permit conditions, appealing denial of a
permit application or revocation of
permit, packaging and labeling, notice
of arrival for shipments from approved
regions, transit shipment, port of entry
inspection, notification of escaped
organisms, emergency action
notification, request for release, request
for risk assessment, request for facility
approval, and recordkeeping for
containment facilities.
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
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 0.26 hours per
response.
Respondents: Importers, exporters,
and shippers of bees and related
articles; foreign and State governments;
and containment facilities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 8.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 31.

Estimated annual number of
responses: 250.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 64 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 31st day of
July 2023.
