SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Tomatoes From 

the Souss-Massa-Draa Region of 

Morocco. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0345. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Plant Protection 

Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the 

Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to 

prohibit or 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, the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

regulates the importation of certain 

fruits and vegetables in accordance with 

the regulations contained in ‘‘Subpart– 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 

through 319.56–71). 

The regulations in § 319.56–28(g) 

allow tomatoes from the Souss-MassaDraa region of Morocco to be imported 

into the United States subject to certain 

conditions that will protect the tomatoes 

from infestation by the Mediterranean 

fruit fly (Medfly). Among other things, 

the regulations include requirements for 

pest-exclusionary structures, fruit fly 

trapping for production sites, and pestexclusionary packing procedures. In 

addition, the tomatoes must be pink at 

the time of packing. Allowing tomatoes 

to be imported in accordance with the 

regulations necessitates the use of 

certain information collection activities, 

including a phytosanitary certificate 

with a declaration, production site 

registration, and maintenance of records 

of trap placement, trap maintenance, 

and any Medfly captures. 

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, exporters, 

growers of tomatoes, and the national 

plant protection organization of 

Morocco. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 11. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 36. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 398. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 395 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.

December 2014 .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Emergency Management 

Response System. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0071. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is authorized, among 

other things, to protect the health of 

U.S. livestock and poultry populations 

by preventing the introduction and 

interstate spread of serious diseases and 

pests of livestock and by eradicating 

such diseases from the United States 

when feasible. 

The Emergency Management 

Response System (EMRS), which is a 

web-based system, helps APHIS manage 

and investigate potential incidents of 

foreign animal diseases in the United 

States. 

When a potential foreign animal 

disease incident is reported, APHIS or 

State animal health officials dispatch a 

foreign animal disease veterinary 

diagnostician to the premises of the 

reported incident to conduct an 

investigation. The diagnostician obtains 

vital epidemiologic data by conducting 

field investigations, including sample 

collection, and by interviewing the 

owner or manager of the premises being 

investigated. These important data, 

submitted electronically by the 

diagnostician into EMRS, include such 

items as the purpose of the 

diagnostician’s visit and suspected 

disease, type of operation on the 

premises, the number and type of 

animals on the premises, the number of 

sick or dead animals on the premises, 

the results of physical examinations of 

affected animals and necropsy 

examinations, vaccination information 

on the animals in the herd or flock, 

biosecurity practices at the site, whether 

any animals were recently moved out of 

the herd or flock, whether any new 

animals were recently introduced into 

the herd or flock, the number and kinds 

of test samples taken, and detailed 

geographic data concerning the 

premises location. EMRS allows these 

epidemiological and diagnostic data to 

be documented and transmitted more 

efficiently. 

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, such as electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 1.0 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Owners or operators of 

livestock and poultry facilities and State 

animal health officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 387. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 4. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,548. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,548 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.
