SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Baby Squash and 

Baby Courgettes From Zambia. 

OMB Number: 0579–0347. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act 

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

the Secretary of Agriculture to 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. Regulations 

authorized by the PPA concerning the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–50). 

Under these regulations, baby squash 

and baby courgettes from Zambia are 

subject to certain conditions before 

entering the United States to ensure that 

exotic plant pests are not introduced 

into the United States. Allowing baby 

squash and baby courgettes to be 

imported necessitates the use of certain 

information collection activities, 

including completing phytosanitary 

inspection certificates, maintaining 

inspection records, and labeling cartons. 

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: National plant 

protection organization of Zambia. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 4. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 4 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.

June 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Pale Cyst Nematode. 

OMB Number: 0579–0322. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: As authorized by the Plant 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) 

(PPA), 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, which administers 

regulations to implement the PPA. 

In accordance with the regulations in 

‘‘Subpart—Pale Cyst Nematode’’ (7 CFR 

301.86 through 301.86–9), APHIS 

restricts the interstate movement of 

certain articles to help prevent the 

artificial spread of pale cyst nematode, 

a major pest of potato crops in cooltemperature areas, to noninfested areas 

of the United States. The regulations 

contain requirements for the interstate 

movement of regulated articles and 

involve information collection 

activities, including certificates, 

permits, and compliance agreements. 

We are revising the title of the collection 

to ‘‘Pale Cyst Nematode’’ because the 

title of the original subpart, ‘‘Potato Cyst 

Nematode,’’ was changed in a 2009 final 

rule. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and 

Regulations. 

OMB Number: 0579–0013. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Virus-SerumToxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151–159), the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service is authorized to promulgate 

regulations designed to prevent the 

importation, preparation, sale, or 

shipment of harmful veterinary 

biological products. These regulations 

are contained in title 9, Code of Federal 

Regulations, subchapter E, parts 102 to 

124. 

Veterinary biological products 

include viruses, serums, toxins, and 

analogous products of natural or 

synthetic origin, such as vaccines, 

antitoxins, or the immunizing 

components of microorganisms 

intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or 

prevention of diseases in domestic 

animals. 

APHIS issues licenses to qualified 

establishments that produce veterinary 

biological products and issues permits 

to importers of such products. We also 

enforce requirements concerning 

production, packaging, labeling, and 

shipping of these products and set 

standards for the testing of these 

products. 

To help ensure that veterinary 

biological products used in the United 

States are pure, safe, potent, and 

effective, APHIS requires certain 

information collection activities, 

including establishment license 

applications, product license 

applications, product import permit 

applications, product and test report 

forms, and field study summaries. 

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 

3.42359 hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. importers, 

exporters, and shippers of veterinary 

biological products; State veterinary 

authorities; and operators of 

establishments that produce or test 

veterinary biological products or that
