Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Federal Plant Pest, Noxious 

Weed, and Garbage Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0054. 

Summary of Collection: In accordance 

with Section 412 of the Plant Protection 

Act (Title IV, Pub. L. 106–224, 114 Stat. 

438, 7 U.S.C. 7712), the Secretary of 

Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or 

restrict the importation, entry, 

exportation, or movement of interstate 

commerce of any plant, plant product, 

biological control organism, noxious 

weed, article, or means of conveyance, 

if the Secretary determines that the 

prohibition or restriction is necessary to 

prevent the introduction or 

dissemination of a plant pest or noxious 

weed within the United States. Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service’s 

(APHIS) regulations implementing the 

Plant Protection Act are contained (in 

part) in part 330 of Title 7, Code of 

Federal Regulations and part 360 of 

Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information to 

evaluate the risk associated with the 

interstate movement of plant pest, 

noxious weeds, and soil. APHIS will 

also collect information to monitor 

operations at facility to ensure permit 

conditions are being met. The 

information is used to determine 

whether a permit can be issued, and 

also to develop risk-mitigating 

conditions for the proposed movement. 

If the information were not collected, 

APHIS ability to protect the United 

States from a plant pest or noxious weed 

incursion would be significantly 

compromised. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Individuals or 

households; State, Local or Tribal
