Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Pale Cyst Nematode.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0322.
    Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture 
(USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), is 
responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect pests from entering 
the United States, preventing the spread of pests and noxious weeds not 
widely distributed in the United States, and eradicating those imported 
pests when eradication is feasible. The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the 
importation, entry, or interstate movement of plants, plant products, 
and other articles to prevent the introduction of plants pests into the 
United States or their dissemination within the United States.
    In accordance with the regulations in ``Subpart-Pale Cyst 
Nematode'' (7 CFR 301.86-301.86-9), the Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service of U.S. Department of Agriculture restricts the 
interstate movement of certain articles to help prevent the spread of 
pale cyst nematode, a major pest of potato crops in cool-temperature 
areas, via potatoes, soil, and other host material to none- infested 
areas of the United States. Allowing the restrictions on the interstate 
movement of regulated articles necessitates the completion of certain 
forms such as Federal Certificates, Federal Limited Permits, Compliance 
Agreements, Self-Certification, Packing Facility Process Approval, 
Appeal of Withdrawn Certificate or Limited Permit, Appeal of Withdrawn 
Compliance Agreement, and Labeling.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
using certificates, limited permits, compliance agreements, self-
certification, packing facility process approval, appeal of withdrawn 
certificate or limited permit, appeal of withdrawn compliance 
agreement, cyst nematode survey (PPQ form 312), and labeling to prevent 
the spread of PCN and to ensure that regulated articles can be moved 
safely from the quarantined area without spreading PCN. If APHIS did 
not collect this information, the spread of PCN in the United States 
could result in a loss of United States potatoes and other commodities 
from domestic and/or foreign markets.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 72.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 133.
