SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Asian Longhorned Beetle 

Consumer Research Survey. 

OMB Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of an 

information collection. 

Abstract: The APHIS Asian 

longhorned beetle (ALB) Cooperative 

Eradication Program is responsible for 

protecting the United States’ hardwood 

forests and parklands, as well as urban 

and suburban trees, from ALB 

infestation. The program works towards 

halting the spread of this devastating 

pest and preventing it from becoming 

established. Through survey, control, 

regulatory compliance measures, and 

public education, the ALB program 

protects trees on private property, in 

parks, and along streets. The program 

also protects tree-dependent industries 

such as timber, maple syrup, nurseries, 

and tourism. 

One of the most common ways the 

ALB can spread is by human transport. 

Of particular concern is firewood cut 

from personal or neighborhood trees 

and moved to areas that are not 

currently infested with ALB or other 

invasive insects or plant diseases. The 

vigilance of residents in and around 

ALB regulated areas looking for the 

beetle and signs of infestation and 

reporting any suspicions, along with 

their adherence to rules regarding the 

movement of firewood, remain crucial. 

It is also important that citizens allow 

program officials access to private 

property for survey and treatment 

activities. Citizens in areas not currently 

ALB infested should also be cognizant 

of the beetle and why firewood 

movement should be curtailed. 

The ALB Cooperative Eradication 

Program has been working to eradicate 

the ALB from the United States since 

1996. Although steady progress has 

been made, areas remain vulnerable to 

ALB infestation as long as the beetle 

exists in the United States. Parts of 

Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New 

York are quarantined for ALB and the 

insect was recently detected in Ohio. 

People who live or work in or around 

ALB-affected and at-risk areas are 

critical to the United States Department 

of Agriculture’s mission to stop the 

ALB. Alert community members have 

been the first to report every ALB 

infestation detected in the United States 

thus far. To stop the spread of this pest, 

the ALB Cooperative Eradication 

Program must retain the public’s 

attention and would like to reach more 

people in different ways. 

This information collection activity 

will help APHIS determine if current 

public communication initiatives that 

support the eradication program are 

effectively communicating necessary 

information about the pest, the 

eradication program, and the steps the 

public can take to help prevent the 

spread of ALB. APHIS will use this 

information to revise ALB-specific 

public communication efforts to better 

align with public information needs. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget to approve our 

use of these information collection 

activities for 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 0.25 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Consumers 18 years of 

age or older living in target counties in 

Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, 

and Ohio.
