Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 508,668 minutes (8,477.8 

hours). See the table below for estimated 

total annual burden for each type of 

respondent. The burden estimates 

assume the use of a one-day food diary 

completed by sampled students and a 

second one-day food diary completed by 

a 10% subsample of students which 

may be deemed necessary for collecting 

usual intake of foods and/or nutrients. 

If the food diaries are not included, the 

burden estimates would be lower.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Notice of Intent To Request Revision 

and Extension of a Currently Approved 

Information Collection 

AGENCY: National Agricultural Statistics 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the intention of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) to request revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection, the Nursery and 

Floriculture Chemical Use Survey. 

Revision to burden hours will be needed 

due to changes in the size of the target 

population, sampling design, and/or 

questionnaire length. We will also be 

discontinuing the Nursery and 

Christmas Tree Production Survey for 

this approval cycle. NASS will be able 

to use production data from the Census 

of Horticulture (0535–0236) to calculate 

weights and expansions for the 

chemical use data. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by November 2, 2009 to be 

assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number 0535–0244, 

by any of the following methods: 

• E-mail: ombofficer@nass.usda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Nursery and Christmas Tree 

Production Survey and Nursery and 

Floriculture Chemical Use Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0244. 

Expiration Date of Approval: January 

31, 2010. 

Type of Request: To revise and extend 

a currently approved information 

collection for a period of three years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) is to prepare and issue State and 

national estimates of crop and livestock 

production, prices, and disposition, as 

well as economic statistics, 

environmental statistics related to 

agriculture and also to conduct the 

Census of Agriculture. 

This includes estimates of production 

and value of key nursery products and 

chemical use by nursery and floriculture 

production operations. 

The Nursery and Floriculture 

Chemical Use Survey, is conducted 

every 3 years; it measures chemical 

usage, related to the production of 

nursery and floriculture crops in six 

major producing States. The resulting 

publication, is part of the NASS series 

on Agricultural Chemical Usage, and it 

summarizes rates of application, total 

amount of active ingredients applied, 

and use of pest management practices. 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

45162 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Notices 

NASS collects on-farm chemical use 

data to enhance the quality of 

information used in the evaluation of 

issues related to agricultural chemicals, 

including pesticide registrations. Pest 

management data are used to measure 

integrated pest management adoption 

levels and evaluate the impact of 

alternative pesticide regulations, 

policies, and practices. A sample of 

nursery and floriculture operations with 

sales over $10,000 in the major States 

will be personally interviewed, since 

chemical use data are not accurately 

collected by telephone or mail. 

A nursery production survey and a 

Christmas tree production survey are 

conducted every year in Oregon. 

Authority: These data will be collected 

under authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a). 

Individually identifiable data collected under 

this authority are governed by Section 1770 

of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended, 

7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford 

strict confidentiality to non-aggregated data 

provided by respondents. This Notice is 

submitted in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–113) and 

Office of Management and Budget regulations 

at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR 44978, August 29, 

1995). 

NASS also complies with OMB 

Implementation Guidance, 

‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V 

of the E-Government Act, Confidential 

Information Protection and Statistical 

Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’ 

Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June 

15, 2007, p. 33376. 

Estimate of Burden: Based on 

previous data collected, the average 

amount of respondent burden for the 

Nursery and Floriculture Chemical Use 

Survey is estimated to average 60 

minutes per respondent (conducted 

once every three years). The annual 

nursery production survey conducted in 

Oregon is estimated to average 30 

minutes per respondent. The annual 

Christmas tree production survey in 

Oregon is estimated to average 20 

minutes per respondent. With an 

estimated response rate of 

approximately 80%, we estimate the 

total burden to be approximately 4,000 

hours. 

Respondents: Producers of nursery, 

greenhouse, and floriculture products. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: (Chemical Use Survey at 

4,200 × frequency of 1⁄3) + (Oregon 

Nursery Production Survey at 800 × 

frequency of 1.0) + (Oregon Christmas 

Tree Production at 1,000 × frequency of 

1.0) = approximately 3,200. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: Approximately 4,000 

hours. Copies of this information 

collection and related instructions can 

be obtained without charge from David 

Hancock, NASS Clearance Officer, at 

(202) 690–2388. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, technological or 

other forms of information technology 

collection methods. 

All responses to this notice will 

become a matter of public record and be 

summarized in the request for OMB 

approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Fruit from 

Thailand. 

OMB Number: 0579–0308. 

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. As authorized 

by the PPA, APHIS regulates the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world as provided in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–49). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

fruit from Thailand may be imported 

into the United States only under 

certain conditions to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States. These conditions involve 

the use of information collection
