information on this program). The existence of a CN label on a product
assures schools and other Child Nutrition Program operators that the product contributes to the meal pattern requirements as printed on the label. However, there is no Federal requirement that commercial products
must have a CN label statement in order to be included in meals served by schools and institutions. AMS officially opened the CN Labeling Program Operations Office on January 19, 2010.

To participate in the CN Labeling Program, a manufacturer submits a label application to AMS for evaluation. AMS reviews the product formulation to determine the contribution a serving ofthe product makes towards the foodbased meal pattern requirements. The application form submitted to AMS is the same application form that a
manufacturer submits to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Labeling and Program Delivery Division for review of meat and poultry labels. Participation in the CN Labeling Program is voluntary and manufacturers who wish to place a CN label on their products must comply with CN Labeling Program requirements.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per

response.

Respondents: Manufacturers who produce food for the school foodservice.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

202.

Estimated Total Annual Responses:

whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.Comments may be sent to Patricia TungTayman, Contract Services Section, Inspection Branch, Specialty Crops Inspection Division, Fruit and Vegetable Program, AMS, U.S. Department of Agriculture, STOP 0247, 1400 Independence Ave. SW., telephone: (202) 720–0367 and FAX: (202) 690–

OMB Control Number: 0579–0337. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection.

Abstract: As authorized by the Plant Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et

seq. ), the Secretary of Agriculture, either independently or in cooperation with States, may carry out operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States. This authority has been delegated to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which administers regulations to implement
the PPA.

In accordance with the regulations in ‘‘Subpart—South American Cactus Moth’’ (7 CFR 301.55 through 301.55–9),
APHIS restricts the interstate movement of cactus moth host material, including nursery stock and plant parts for consumption, from infested areas of the United States to help prevent the artificial spread of South American
cactus moth into noninfested areas of the United States. The regulations contain requirements for the interstate movement of regulated articles and
involve information collection activities, including a USDA–APHIS, Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Compliance Agreement (PPQ Form 519); USDA–APHIS, PPQ Limited Permit (PPQ Form 530); and USDA–APHIS, PPQ Certificate (PPQ Form 540).

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
