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.

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: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
