September 15, 2021.
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; 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; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by October
20, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Gypsy Moth Identification Worksheet.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0104.
Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C.
7701-et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture either independently or in
cooperation with the States, is authorized to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard
the spread of plant pest new to the United States or not widely
distributed throughout the United States. The Plant Protection and
Quarantine (PPQ), a program within the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), is responsible for implementing the intent
of this Act, and does so through the enforcement of its Domestic
Quarantine Regulations contained in Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 301. The European gypsy moth is one of the most
destructive pests of fruit and ornamental trees as well as hardwood
forests. The Asian gypsy moth is an exotic strain of gypsy moth that is
closely related to the European variety already established in the
United States. Due to significant behavioral differences, this strain
is considered to pose an even greater threat to trees and forested
areas. In order to determine the presence and extent of a European
gypsy moth or an Asian gypsy moth infestation, APHIS sets traps in
high-risk areas to collect specimens.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
from the Specimens for Determination, PPQ Form 391, to identify and
track specific specimens that are sent to the Otis Development Center
for identification tests based on DNA analysis. This information
collected is vital to APHIS' ability to monitor, detect, and eradicate
gypsy moth infestations and the worksheet is completed only when traps
are found to contain specimens. Information on the worksheet includes
the name of the submitter, the submitter's agency, the date collected,
the trap number, the trap's location (including the nearest port of
entry), the number of specimens in the trap, and the date the specimen
was sent to the laboratory. APHIS will also use the Gypsy Moth
Checklist and Record Your Self-Inspection, PPQ Form 377 or PPQ Form
377A to collect information on required inspection of outdoor household
articles that are to be moved from a gypsy moth quarantined area to a
non-quarantined area to ensure that they are free of all life stages of
gypsy moth.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; State, Local
or Tribal Government; and Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 2,500,100.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 2,711,543.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
