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

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 March

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

Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
Title: Black Stem Rust; Identification Requirements and Addition of
Rust-Resistant Varieties.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0186.
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
products to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United
States or their dissemination within the United States. Black stem rust
is one of the most destructive plant diseases of small grains that are
known to exist in the United States. The disease is caused by a fungus
that reduces the quality and yield of infected wheat, oat, barley, and
rye crops by robbing host plants of food and water. The fungus is
spread from host to host by windborne spores.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information to
prevent the spread of black stem rust by providing for and requiring
the accurate identification of rust-resistant varieties by inspectors.
When a business request APHIS to add a variety to the list of rust-
resistant barberries, it need to provide APHIS with a written
description and color pictures that can be used by the State nursery
inspectors to clearly identify the variety and distinguish it from
other varieties. This action enables nurseries to move the species into
and through protected areas and to propagate and sell the species in
States or parts of States designated as protected areas.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit; State,
Local, and Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 17.

Acting Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
