SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Citrus Canker; Interstate 

Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock 

and Fruit from Quarantined Areas. 

OMB Number: 0579-0317. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7 

U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the 

Secretary of Agriculture, either 

independently or in cooperation with 

States, to carry out operations or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control, prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests, such as citrus canker, that 

are new to or not widely distributed 

within the United States. 

Citrus canker is a plant disease that 

affects plant and plant parts, including 

fresh fruit of citrus and citrus relatives 

(family Rutaceae). Citrus canker can 

cause defoliation and other serious 

damage to the leaves and twigs of 

susceptible plants. It can also cause 

lesions on the fruit of infected plants 

and cause infected fruit to drop from the 

trees before reaching maturity. The 

aggressive A (Asiatic) strain of citrus 

canker can infect susceptible plants 

rapidly and lead to extensive economic 

losses in commercial citrus-producing 

areas. 

APHIS regulations to prevent the 

interstate spread of citrus canker are 

contained in ‘‘Subpart—Citrus Canker’’ 

(7 CFR 301.75-1 through 301.75-14). The 

regulations restrict the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from and 

through areas quarantined because of 

citrus canker and provide, among other 

things, conditions under which 

regulated nursery stock and fruit may be 

moved interstate. The interstate 

movement of regulated nursery stock 

and fruit from quarantined areas 

involves information collection 

activities, including cooperative 

agreements, certificates, and limited 

permits. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

This information collection includes 

information collection requirements 

currently approved by OMB control 

numbers 0579-0317, ‘‘Citrus Canker; 

Interstate Movement of Regulated 

Nursery Stock from Quarantined Areas,’’ 

and 0579-0325, ‘‘Citrus Canker; 

Movement of Fruit from Quarantined 

Areas.’’ After OMB approves and 

combines the burden for both 

collections under a single collection 

(0579-0317), ‘‘Citrus Canker; Interstate 

Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock 

and Fruit from Quarantined Areas,’’ the 

Department will retire number 0579- 

0325. 

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 

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

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.0019836 hours per response. 

Respondents: Citrus growers; 

packinghouses. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 450. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 498.5288.

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 445 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Clementines, 

Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile. 

OMB Number: 0579-0242. 

Type of Request: 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. Regulations 

authorized by the PPA concerning the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56-1 

through 319.56-50). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

clementines, mandarins, and tangerines 

from Chile may be imported only under 

certain conditions to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States. These conditions involve 

the use of information collection 

activities, including a phytosanitary 

certificate, trust fund agreement, permit, 

production site registration, and 

shipping documents. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3

0.4984615 hours per response. 

Respondents: Growers, shippers, and 

Chilean plant health officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 44. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 7.3863636. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 325. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 162 hours. (Due to
