number. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Citrus Greening and Asian 

Citrus Psyllid; Quarantine and Interstate 

Movement Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0363. 

Summary of Collection: The Plant 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

either independently or in cooperation 

with the States, to carry out operations 

or measures to detect, eradicate, 

suppress, control, prevent, or retard the 

spread of plant pests (such as citrus 

canker) new or widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) amended the 

‘‘Domestic Quarantine Notices’’ in 7 

CFR part 301 by adding a new subpart, 

‘‘Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus 

Psyllid (ACP)’’ (§§ 301.76 through 

301.76–11). Citrus greening, also known 

as Huanglonghing disease of citrus, is 

considered to be one of the most serious 

citrus diseases in the world. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information using 

the following activity to address the risk 

associated with the interstate movement 

of citrus nursery stock and other 

regulated articles from areas 

quarantined for citrus greening: Limit 

Permit (PPO Form 530), Federal 

Certificate (PPO Form 540), Compliance 

Agreement (PPO Form 519), Label 

Statement, Recordkeeping, Attaching 

Tag to Bill of Lading, Cancellation of 

Certificates, Permits, and Compliance 

Agreements, 72 Hour Notification of 

Inspection, and Emergency Action 

Notification. Failing to collect this 

information could cause a severe 

economic loss to the citrus industry. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 639. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Prohibited, Restricted, and 

Controlled Importation of Animal and 

Poultry Products and By-Products into 

the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0015. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an 

information collection. 

Abstract: The Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.) is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Secretary may also prohibit or 

restrict import or export of any animal 

or related material if necessary to 

prevent the spread of any livestock or 

poultry pest or disease. 

Disease prevention is the most 

effective method for maintaining a 

healthy animal population and for 

enhancing the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service’s (APHIS) ability to 

compete globally in animal and animal 

product and by-product trade. In 

connection with this mission, APHIS 

enforces regulations regarding the 

importation of controlled materials and 

the prevention of foreign animal disease 

incursions into the United States. These 

regulations can be found in 9 CFR parts 

94, 95, and 122. APHIS engages in a 

number of information collection 

activities to prevent or control the 

spread of livestock diseases via the 

prohibited, restricted, and controlled 

importation of animal and poultry 

products and by-products into the 

United States, including, but not limited 

to, certificates, applications, agreements, 

appeals and cancellations of 

agreements, placards and statements, 

permissions to import, reports, 

notifications, government seals, and 

marking requirements. 

In addition, to align with terminology 

used in the regulations, APHIS has 

revised the name of this information 

collection from ‘‘Restricted and 

Controlled Importation of Animal and 

Poultry Products and By-Products into 

the United States’’ to ‘‘Prohibited, 

Restricted, and Controlled Importation 

of Animal and Poultry Products and ByProducts into the United States.’’ 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 


khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2018 / Notices 66673 

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 1.97 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers, exporters, 

processing operators, foreign federal 

governments, foreign veterinarians, port 

personnel, museums, educational 

institutions, transportation operators, 

and carrier personnel. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 3,437. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 63. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses: 216,399. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 427,877 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.

December 2018.
