previous collection. By adding these 

two activities to this information 

collection, the estimated total annual 

burden on respondents has increased 

from 122 hours to 284 hours, and the 

estimated annual number of responses 

has increased from 141 to 100,148. 

However, the estimate of burden has 

decreased from 0.8652 hours per 

response to 0.002 hours per response. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, 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 

0.002 hours per response. 

Respondents: Shippers and producers 

of fresh pitaya and the national plant 

protection organizations in Central 

America. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 27. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 3,709. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 100,148. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 284 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Baby Squash and 

Baby Courgettes From Zambia. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0347. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

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 319.56–69). 

Section 319.56–48 provides for the 

importation of baby squash and baby 

courgettes from Zambia into the 

continental United States under certain 

conditions. These regulations require 

the use of certain information collection 

activities, such as inspection of 

greenhouses, labeling of cartons, 

maintaining required trapping records, 

and phytosanitary certificates issued by 

the national plant protection 

organization (NPPO) of Zambia with an 

additional declaration that the baby 

squash or baby courgettes were 

produced in accordance with the 

regulations. 

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

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has 

the responsibility for the conservation 

and management of marine fishery 

resources. Much of this responsibility 

has been delegated to the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA)/National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 

Under this stewardship role, the 

Secretary was given certain regulatory 

authorities to ensure the most beneficial 

uses of these resources. One of the 

regulatory steps taken to carry out the 

conservation and management 

objectives is to collect data from users 

of the resource. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 648.11(g) 

require observer service providers to 

comply with specific requirements in 

order to operate as an approved 

provider in the Atlantic sea scallop 

(scallop) fishery. Observer service 

providers must comply with the 

following requirements: submit 

applications for approval as an observer 

service provider; formally request 

observer training by the Northeast 

Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP); 

submit observer deployment reports and 

biological samples; give notification of 

whether a vessel must carry an observer 

within 24 hours of the vessel owner’s 

notification of a prospective trip; 

maintain an updated contact list of all 

observers that includes the observer 

identification number; observer’s name 

mailing address, email address, phone 

numbers, homeports or fisheries/trip 

types assigned, and whether or not the 

observer is ‘‘in service.’’ The regulations 

also require observer service providers 

submit any outreach materials, such as 

informational pamphlets, payment 

notification, and descriptions of 

observer duties as well as all contracts 

between the service provider and 

entities requiring observer services for 

review to NMFS/NEFOP. Observer 

service providers also have the option to 

respond to application denials, and 

submit a rebuttal in response to a
