SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Shelled Peas 

From Kenya. 

OMB Number: 0579–0302. 

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. Regulations 

authorized by the PPA concerning the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–54). 

Under these regulations, shelled peas 

from Kenya are subject to certain 

conditions before entering the United 

States to prevent the introduction of 

plant pests into the United States. The 

regulations require that shipments of 

peas be accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate issued by the national plant 

protection organization of Kenya with 

an additional declaration stating that the 

peas have been shelled and washed in 

accordance with § 319.56–45 and have 

been inspected and found free of certain 

plant pests. 

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 1 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Importers and Kenyan 

national plant protection organizations 

and producers. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1 hour. (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 4th day of 

January 2012. 

Kevin Shea, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
