Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Domestic Quarantine Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0088.
Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C.
7701-7772) 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 the United States or
their dissemination within the United States. Plant Protection and
Quarantine, a program within USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), is responsible for implementing 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.
Administering these regulations requires APHIS to use various forms
and documents to collect or record information from the variety of
individuals who are involved in growing, packing, handling, or
transporting, plants and plant products. The collected information is
used to determine compliance with domestic quarantines necessary for
regulating the movement of articles from infested areas to non-infested
areas and ensuring injurious plant diseases and insect pests do not
spread within the United States.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
obtained through processing of applications for permits or
certificates, requests for or during inspections, and processing of
violation notices, agreements, and other actions. Information is
collected from the growers, packers, shippers, and exporters of
regulated articles to ensure that the articles, when moved from a
quarantined area, do not harbor injurious plant diseases and insect
pests. The information will be used to determine compliance with
regulations and for issuance of permits, certificates, and other
required documents.
Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal agricultural
officials; Business or other for-profit; Farms; Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 8,821.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 261,492.
