Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Foreign Quarantine Notices.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0049.
Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (PPA) (Title IV,
Pub. L. 106-224, 114 Statute 438, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) grants the
Secretary of Agriculture authority to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, exportation, or movement in interstate commerce of
plant pests and other articles when such actions prevent the
introduction or dissemination of plant pests into or within the United
States. Implementing the laws described above is necessary in order to
prevent injurious plant and insect pests from entering the United
States, a situation that could produce serious consequences for USDA.
Regulations and subsequent requirements authorized by the PPA
concerning the importation of fruits, vegetables, plants for planting,
logs, lumber, unprocessed wood products, cotton, corn, rice, sugar
cane, and coffee, are contained in Parts 319 and 352 of Title 7, Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR). They require APHIS to collect information
from a variety of foreign governments, businesses, and individuals,
both within and outside of the United States, and provide the basis for
the APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) program's foreign
quarantine notices. On a quarterly basis, APHIS will submit a report to
the Office of Management and Budget that documents the burden imposed
by import requirements for commodities covered by this information
collection (fruits, vegetables, plants for planting, logs, lumber,
unprocessed wood products, cotton, corn, rice, sugar cane, and coffee)
that have been finalized within that quarterly period.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
such as operational workplans; 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 diversion; notices of arrival;
emergency action notifications; and monitoring/recordkeeping from
responsible entities. In addition, APHIS will collect required
information from national plant protection organizations as part of the
commodity import approval process.
Description of Respondents: Businesses, Individuals and Households,
Federal Government and State Governments.
Number of Respondents: 22,315.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting, Recordkeeping, Third-Party
Disclosure: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 712,982.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Nomination Request Form; Animal Disease Training.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0353.
Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 is
the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. The
law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect,
control, eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS') Veterinary Services
(VS) is responsible for administering regulations intended to prevent
the introduction of animal diseases into the United States. VS
Professional People Training (PPT) provides training on responses to
animal disease events, sample collection procedures, and disease
mitigation and eradication activities to private veterinarians and
State, Tribal, military, international, industry, and university
personnel. The courses are designed to prepare participants for
activities dealing with a U.S. animal disease incident.
Need and Use of the Information: VS collects information using VS
Form 1-5 from private veterinarians as well as State, Tribal, military,
international, university, and industry personnel who want to attend
PDS animal disease training. PPT requires the applicants' work
addresses, work telephone numbers, work email addresses, agency/
organization affiliations, supervisors' names and email addresses, and
job titles. PPT uses this information to produce participant rosters
after participants select courses and during training to encourage
ongoing working
[[Page 12925]]
relationships between course participants. Applicants submit the
completed form (Web-based) before the PPT course date. The appropriate
APHIS official selects applicants based on the need in their respective
States for such trained personnel. VS Form 1-5 is subsequently sent to
a PPT Program Specialist for processing.

Local or Tribal Government.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Citrus Canker, Citrus Greening, and Asian Citrus Psyllid;
Quarantine and Interstate Movement Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0363.
Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture either independently or
in cooperation with the States, to carry out operations or measures to
detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests (such as citrus canker) new or widely distributed
throughout the United States. In the ``Domestic Quarantine Notices'' in
7 CFR part 301, hereafter referred to as the regulations, the subpart
``Citrus Canker'' (Sec. Sec. 301.75 through 301.75-17) and ``Citrus
Greening and Asian Citrus Psyllid'' (Sec. Sec. 301.76 through 301.76-
11) provide the regulatory guidance for the presence of citrus canker
(CC), citrus greening (CG) and Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). The
regulations contained in 7 CFR 301.75 and 301.76 restrict the
interstate movement of regulated articles from and through areas
quarantined because of CC, CG and ACP.
Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) will collect information using the following
activity to address the risk associated with the interstate movement of
citrus nursery stock and other regulated articles from areas
quarantined for citrus greening: Limit Permit (PPO Form 530), Federal
Certificate (PPO Form 540), Compliance Agreement (PPO Form 519),
Labeling Requirements, Recordkeeping, Appeal of Cancellation of
Certificates, Permits, and Compliance Agreements, and Emergency Action
Notification (PPO Form 523). Failing to collect this information could
cause a severe economic loss to the citrus industry.
