SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Importation of Unshu Oranges from the 

Republic of Korea into Alaska. 

OMB Number: 0579–0314. 

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 citrus fruit from certain 

parts of the world as provided in 

‘‘Subpart—Citrus Fruit’’ (7 CFR 319.28). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

unshu oranges from the Republic of 

Korea may be imported into Alaska only 

under certain conditions to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States. These conditions involve 

the use of information collection 

activities, including a phytosanitary 

certificate with an additional 

declaration statement and box labeling. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.0056932 hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers and the 

national plant protection organization of 

the Republic of Korea. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 5. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1,089. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5,445. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 31 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 26th day of 

August 2009.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
