SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Lacey Act Declaration 

Requirement; Plants and Plant Products. 

OMB Number: 0579-0349. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The Food, Conversation, 

and Energy Act of 2008, effective May 

22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act (the 

Act) by expanding its protection to a 

broader range of plants and plant 

products (Section 8204, Prevention of 

Illegal Logging Practices). The Lacey 

Act, as amended, makes it unlawful to 

import, export, transport, sell, receive, 

acquire, or purchase in interstate or 

foreign commerce any plant, with some 

limited exceptions, taken, possessed, 

transported or sold in violation of the 

laws of the United States, a State, an 

Indian tribe, or any foreign law that 

protects plants. The 2008 amendment to 

the Act also makes it unlawful to make 

or submit any false record, account or 

label for, or any false identification of, 

any plant covered by the Act. 

In addition, section 3 of the Act 

makes it unlawful to import certain 

plants and plant products without an 

import declaration. The declaration 

must contain, among other things, the 

scientific name of the plant, value of the 

importation, quantity of the plant, and 

name of the country from which the 

plant was harvested. For paper and 

paperboard products with recycled 

plant content, the importer will not be 

required to specify the species or 

country of harvest with respect to the 

recycled plant product component, but 

will be required to provide the average 

percentage of recycled content. If the 

product also contains non-recycled 

plant materials, the basic declaration 

requirements still apply to that 

component of the product imported. 

PPQ Form 505 (Plant and Plant Product 

Declaration Form) is available at 

(http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ 

plant_health/lacey_act/downloads/ 

declarationform.pdf). 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of this information 

collection activity 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 

information collection, 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 

information collection 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 8 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers of certain 

plants and plant products. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 81,928. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 20. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,638,560. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 13,108,480 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.
