DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
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
September 14, 2023 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 and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0010.
Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 3301--et
seq.) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, either independently or
in cooperation with States, to carry out operations or measures to
detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), along with the
States and other agencies, collects and manages data on plant pests,
woods, and biological control agents through the Cooperative
Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS). The program allows the States and PPQ
to conduct surveys to detect and measure the presence of exotic plant
pests and weeds and to input surveillance data into a national
computer-based system known as the National Agricultural Plant
Information System (NAPIS).
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS collects information using
cooperative agreements, pest detection surveys, and a Specimens for
Determination form (PPQ Form 391), to predict potential plant pest and
noxious weed situations and to promptly detect and respond to the
occurrence of new pests and to record the location of those pest
incursions that could directly hinder the export of U.S. farm
commodities. If the information were not collected, it would seriously
impact APHIS' ability to timely assist State personnel, and others
involved in agriculture and protection of the environment in order to
plan pest control measures, detect new outbreaks, and to determine the
threat posed by migratory pests.
Description of Respondents: State, local, or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 55.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; on occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,669.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
