Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Title: APHIS Pest Reporting and Asian Longhorned Beetle Program. OMB Control Number: 0579–0311. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Dec 20, 2023 Jkt 262001 Summary of Collection: 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 of plants and plant pests to prevent the introduction of plant pests into, or their dissemination within, the United States. Plant health regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Agriculture under this authority specifically address control programs for a number of pests and diseases of concern, including Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer beetle, and citrus greening, to name a few. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will collect information using a Plant Protection and Quarantine pest reporting form and Asian longhorned beetle unified survey form, and other information collection activities. Need and Use of the Information: APHIS relies on the public to report sightings of plant pests or suspicious signs of pest or disease damage they may see in their local area. This reporting will be done through online forms for reporting pests, and additional information collection activities such as cooperative agreements for inspection; compliance training workshops; contracts for inspection; homeowner releases or refusals to inspect; homeowner chemical treatment releases; letters of warning of litigation and warrant; litigations and warrants; homeowner releases for tree removal; removals and monitoring; contracts for treatment; removals and disposals; disposal and marshalling yard activities; and certificate or permit cancellation appeals. Failing to collect this information could result in APHIS not receiving information about where infestations may exist, causing them to linger unreported and grow. Infestations of high-consequence pests or diseases, such as Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer beetle, citrus greening, and others, could lead to significant economic damage to crops, forests, and landscapes.

SUMMARY: On September 22, 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) issued the preliminary results of the first full five-year sunset review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on citric acid and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from Belgium. We received no comment from interested parties in opposition to our preliminary results.
