SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Mangoes From 

India Into the Continental United States. 

OMB Number: 0579–0312. 

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 ‘‘SubpartFruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–56). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

APHIS allows the importation of 

mangoes from India into the continental 

United States under certain conditions 

to prevent the introduction of plant 

pests into the United States. These 

conditions involve the use of 

information collection activities, one of 

which is a phytosanitary certificate. As 

a condition of entry, the mangoes must 

undergo irradiation treatment and be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate with additional declaration 

statements providing specific 

information regarding the treatment and 

inspection of the mangoes and the 

orchards in which they are grown. The 

additional information collection 

activities that are required include a 

preclearance workplan, trust fund 

agreement, compliance agreement, 

monitoring and certification of 

inspections and treatments, and 

recordkeeping. 

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 0.53 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers and the 

national plant protection organization of 

India. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 152. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 33.61. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5,109. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,685 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 28th day of 

November 2012.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
