SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Tomatoes From 

Certain Central American Countries. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0286. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act 

(PPA, 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 plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. As authorized 

by the PPA, the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service regulates the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world as provided in the regulations 

in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 

CFR 319.56–1 through 319.56–12, 

referred to below as the regulations). 

In accordance with the regulations, 

tomatoes from Costa Rica, El Salvador, 

Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and 

Panama may be imported into the 

United States under certain conditions 

to prevent the introduction of plant 

pests into the United States. These 

conditions require the use of certain 

information collection activities 

including development and monitoring 

of an insect trapping and quality control 

plan; registration and recertification of 

production sites; production site and 

insect trap inspections and 

recordkeeping; export certifications; box 

labelling; notices of arrival to ports; 

responses to emergency action 

notifications; and permit applications. 

Also, each consignment of tomatoes 

must be accompanied by a 

phytosanitary certificate issued by the 

country’s national plant protection 

organization (NPPO). Depending on the 

Mediterranean fly (Medfly) status of the 

region of origin, the certificate must 

contain an additional declaration stating 

that the tomatoes were either grown in 

an approved production site and the 

consignment has been inspected and 

found free of the pests listed in the 

requirements or grown in an area 

recognized to be free of Medfly and the 

consignment has been inspected and 

found free of the pests listed in the 

requirements. These information 

collection activities allow the 

importation of tomatoes from these 

countries while continuing to protect 

the United States against the 

introduction of plant pests. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for an 

additional 3 years.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.18 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: The NPPOs of Costa 

Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, 

Nicaragua, and Panama; import brokers; 

and commercial tomato producers in the 

countries of origin. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 49. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 142. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 6,937. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,242 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 1526 of the Food 

and Agricultural Act of 1981 (7 U.S.C. 

2272) permits the Secretary of 

Agriculture to establish a program to use 

volunteers to carry out U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) programs. 

Departmental Regulation No. 4230–001, 

Volunteer Programs, provides the 

guidelines USDA agencies must use for 

acceptance of volunteers and sets a 

requirement for agencies to publish 

their guidelines. Regulations of the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

in 5 CFR part 308 provide agencies with 

the authority to establish programs 

designed to provide educationally 

related volunteer assignments for 

students in nonpay status. 

The Marketing and Regulatory 

Programs (MRP) mission area of USDA 

uses several information collection 

activities to assist MRP program 

officials, administrative personnel, and 

USDA Human Resources offices in 

determining a volunteer’s eligibility and 

suitability for volunteer service. The 

information is necessary to facilitate 

establishment of guidelines for 

acceptance of volunteer services under
