Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Interstate Movement of Fruit from Hawaii.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0331.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit 
or restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant 
pests to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States 
or their dissemination within the United States. The Hawaii fruit and 
vegetables regulations contained in 7 CFR 318.13-1 through 318.13-25 
govern, among other things, the interstate movement of fruits and 
vegetables from Hawaii. These regulations are necessary to prevent the 
spread of plant diseases and pest that occur in Hawaii but not on the 
mainland United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) revised the Hawaiian fruits and vegetables regulations to allow 
mangosteen, dragon fruit, melon, pods of cowpea and its relatives, 
breadfruit, jackfruit, and fresh drumstick tree pods to be moved 
interstate from Hawaii under certain conditions. APHIS will collect 
information using PPQ 530 and 540 forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
from the forms to prevent the interstate spread of a number of 
destructive and economically damaging agricultural pests. If APHIS did 
not collect this information the effectiveness of APHIS' Hawaiian 
fruits and vegetables quarantine program would be severely compromised 
and could result in millions of dollars in damage to American 
agriculture.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 110.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 545.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
