Department of Agriculture 

Office of the Chief Information Officer 

Title: USDA eAuthentication Service 

Customer Registration. 

OMB Control Number: 0503–0014. 

Summary of Collection: The USDA 

Office of the Chief Information Officer 

(OCIO) developed the eAuthentication 

system as a management and technical 

process that addresses user 

authentication and authorization 

prerequisites for providing services 

electronically. The process requires a 

voluntary one-time electronic selfregistration to obtain an eAuthentication 

account for each USDA Agency 

customer desiring access to USDA 

online services and applications 

protected by eAuthentication. The 

information collected through the 

electronic self-registration process is 

necessary to enable the electronic 

authentication of users and grant them 

access to only those resources for which 

they are authorized. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

USDA eAuthentication Service provides 

public and government businesses 

single sign-on capability for USDA 

applications, management of user 

credentials, and verification of identify, 

authorization, and electronic signatures. 

USDA eAuthentication obtains 

customer information through an 

electronic self-registration process 

provided through the eAuthentication 

Web site. The voluntary self-registration 

process applies to USDA Agency 

customers, as well as employees who 

request access to protected USDA Web 

applications and services via the 

Internet. Users can register directly from 

the eAuthentication Web site located at 

www.eauth.egov.usda.gov. The 

information collected through the 

online self-registration process will be 

used to provide an eAuthentication 

account that will enable the electronic 

authentication of users. 

The users will then have access to 

authorized resources without needing to 

reauthenticate within the context of a 

single Internet session.

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), 

OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or 

fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental

of having their full effect if received 

within 30 days of this notification. 

Copies of the submission(s) may be 

obtained by calling (202) 720–8958.

Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Irradiation Phytosanitary 

Treatment for Fresh Fruits and 

Vegetables. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0155. 

Summary of Collection: The Plant 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–7772) 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

to regulate the importation of plants, 

plant products, and other articles to 

prevent the introduction of injurious 

plant pests and noxious weeds. 

Regulations in 7 CFR part 305 provide 

for the use of irradiation as a 

phytosanitary treatment for certain 

fruits and vegetables imported in the 

United States. The irradiation treatment 

provides protection against 11 species of 

fruit flies and mango seed weevil. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) will collect information 

using a compliance agreement, 30-day 

notification, labeling requirements, 

dosimetry recordings, requests for 

dosimetry device approval, 

recordkeeping, requests for facility 

approval. Without the collection of this 

information, APHIS would have no 

practical way of determining that any 

given commodity had actually been 

irradiated. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for profit; individuals or 

households; farms. 

Number of Respondents: 93. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 416. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Fruit from 

Thailand. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0308. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et 

seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to carry out operations or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control., prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests new to the United States or 

not known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) amended the fruit and 

vegetables regulations to allow the 

importation into the United State of 

litchi, longan, mango, mangosteen, 

pineapple, and rambutan from 

Thailand. The fruit would have to be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate with an additional 

declaration stating that the fruit had 

been tested with irradiation in Thailand 

and in the case of litchi, that the fruit 

had been inspected and found to be free

8296 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices 

of Peronophythora litchi, a fungal pest 

of litchi. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will use the information on the 

certificate to determine the pest 

condition of the shipment at the time of 

inspection in the foreign country. This 

information is used as a guide to the 

intensity of the inspection APHIS 

conduct when the shipment arrives. 

Without this information, all shipments 

would need to be inspected very 

thoroughly, thereby requiring 

considerably more time. This would 

slow the clearance of international 

shipments. 

Description of Respondents: Federal 

Government (Foreign). 

Number of Respondents: 10. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 78. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Mangoes from 

India. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0312. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et 

seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to carry out operations or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control., prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests new to the United States or 

not known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) regulates the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the continental United States from 

certain parts of the world. In accordance 

with these regulations, mangoes from 

India may be imported into the United 

States only under certain conditions to 

prevent the introduction of plant pests 

into the United States. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS amended the fruits and 

vegetables regulations to allow the 

importation into the continental United 

States of mangoes from India under 

certain conditions. As a condition of 

entry, the mangoes have to undergo 

irradiation treatment and be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate with additional declaration 

statements providing specific 

information about treatment and 

orchards in which they were grown. 

Additional information collected by 

APHIS includes a preclearance 

workplan, trust fund agreement, 

monitoring and certification of 

treatments, and recordkeeping. Failure 

to collect this information would greatly 

hinder APHIS’ ability to ensure that 

mangoes from India are not carrying 

plant pests. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Federal Government 

(Foreign). 

Number of Respondents: 154. 

Frequency of Responses:

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Title: Trade Adjustment Assistance 

for Farmers (TAA). 

OMB Control Number: 0551–0040. 

Summary of Collection: The Trade 

Act of 2002 (HR 3009) (Pub. L. 107– 

210), established the Trade Adjustment 

Assistance for Farmers (TAA) program. 

The primary objective of this program is 

to provide technical and cash assistance 

to producers of raw agricultural 

commodities when the Administrator, 

Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), 

determines that increased imports have 

contributed importantly to specific price 

decline over 5 preceding marketing 

years. 

Need and Use of the Information: FAS 

will collect information to permit 

producers to petition and apply for 

program benefits. The information is 

needed to determine eligibility to obtain 

benefits under the program providing 

trade adjustment assistance for farmers 

and to ascertain the amount of payments 

an adversely affected producer is 

entitled to receive. The information 

collected will provide essential data and 

economic information for use by FAS, 

Farm Service Agency, Economic 

Research Service, Extension Service, 

and other agencies within the 

Department.

Not-for-profit institutions; Business or
