Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701– 

7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to prohibit or restrict the 

importation, entry, or movement of 

plants and plant pests to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. The Animal 

Plant and Health Inspection Service

reproductive and immature stages of 

PSB occur, and in the new growth of 

healthy trees. PSB can damage urban 

ornamental trees and can cause 

economic losses to the timber, 

Christmas trees, and nursery industries. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect the information 

using Compliance Agreements, Written 

Statements, and Canadian Phytosanitary 

Certificates to protect the United States 

from the introduction of pine shoot 

beetle and other plant diseases.
