Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Federal Plant Pest and Noxious Weed Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0054.
Summary of Collection: In accordance with Section 412 of the Plant
Protection Act (Title IV, Pub L. 106-224, 114 Stat. 438, 7 U.S.C.
7712), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or
restrict the importation, entry, exportation, or interstate movement of
plants, plant products, biological control organisms, noxious weeds,
soil, regulated garbage, or means of conveyance, if the Secretary
determines that the prohibition or restriction is necessary to prevent
the dissemination of plant pests or disease within the United States.
The associated regulations that were issued by the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are located in 7 CFR parts 330 and

weeds in the United States could result in severe physical and economic
losses to American agriculture. To prevent this from happening, APHIS
will use information collection activities in these regulations.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use information
collection activities in these regulations to evaluate and mitigate the
risks associated with the import or interstate movement of plant pests,
noxious weeds, soil, prohibited articles, and regulated garbage. These
activities include applications for permits and compliance agreements,
amendments and appeals, consultations, site assessments, inspections,
certifications, labeling of containers, petitions and recordkeeping.

Business or Other For-Profit; Individuals or Households.
