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 November
29, 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: Imported Seed and Screening.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0124.
Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect pests
from entering the United States, preventing the spread of pests not
widely distributed in the United States, and eradicating imported pests
when eradication is feasible. Under the authority of the Federal Seed
Act of 1939, as amended, the USDA regulates the importation and
interstate movement of certain agricultural and vegetable seeds. The
USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Protection
and Quarantine (PPQ) Division has established a seed analysis program
with Canada that allows U.S. companies that import seed for cleaning or
processing to enter into compliance agreements with APHIS. To monitor
and ensure compliance with United States agricultural regulations,
APHIS will collect information using forms and other information
activities.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
from forms, correspondence, inspections, and discussions to ensure
imported seeds do not pose a threat to U.S. agriculture. If the
information were not collected, there would be increased risk of severe
economic damage to United States agriculture caused by plant diseases
and insect pests.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,153.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 9,632.
