SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: PPQ Form 816; Contract Pilot 

and Aircraft Acceptance. 

OMB Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act of 

2000 directs the Secretary of Agriculture 

to carry out a program, subject to 

available funds, to control grasshoppers 

and Mormon crickets on all Federal 

lands to protect rangeland. The Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture carries out this program, 

primarily by treating infested lands by 

aerial spraying of pesticides from 

aircraft. APHIS contracts for these 

services, and prior to any aerial 

applications, requests certain 

information from the contractor and/or 

contract pilots to ensure that the work 

will be done according to contract 

specifications. Among other things, 

APHIS asks to see aircraft registration, 

the aircraft’s airworthiness certificate, 

the pilot’s license, the pilot’s medical 

certification, the pilot’s proof of flight 

review, the pilot’s pesticide applicator’s 

license, and the aircraft logbook. APHIS 

transfers information from these 

documents to PPQ Form 816, which is 

then signed by the APHIS official 

collecting the information and the 

contractor or contract pilot, indicating 

acceptance of the pilot and aircraft for 

the job. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of this information 

collection activity 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: Contractors and/or 

pilots of aircraft. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 100. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 35. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 3,500. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 875 hours. (Due to
