Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Plum Pox Compensation.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0159.
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 the United States
or their dissemination within the United States. The regulations in 7
CFR 301.74-5 permit owners of commercial stone fruit orchards to
receive compensation for losses associated with trees destroyed to
control plum pox pursuant to an emergency action notification (EAN)
issued by the Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Plum
Pox is an extremely serious viral disease of plants that can affect
many stone fruit species, including plum, peach, apricot, almond, and
nectarine. Owners of fruit tree nurseries may receive compensation for
net revenue losses associated with movement or sale of nursery stock
prohibited under an EAN issued by APHIS with respect to regulated
articles within the nursery in order to control plum pox.
Need and Use of the Information: Compensation applications include
information about the business such as
[[Page 26517]]
name and address, a description of the property, and a certification
statement that the trees removed from the owner's property were stone
fruit trees from commercial fruit orchards or fruit tree nurseries. For
claims made by owners of stone fruit orchards, the completed
application must be accompanied by a copy of the EAN ordering the
destruction of their trees, the notification's accompanying inventory
describing the acreage and ages of trees removed and documentation
verifying that the destruction of the trees have been completed and the
date of that completion. For claims made by owners of fruit tree
nurseries, the completed application must be accompanied by a copy of
the EAN prohibiting the same or movement of the nursery stock, the
notification's accompanying inventory describing the total number of
trees covered by the EAN, their age and variety, and documentation
indicating the final disposition of the nursery stock. Applicants may
also need to apply for a DUNS number and provide direct deposit
information for payments. Without the information APHIS would be unable
to compensate eligible grove and nursery owners for their losses.
Description of Respondents: State Plant Health Officials; Business
or other for-profit; Farm.
Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting, Recordkeeping: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 5.
