SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Gypsy Moth Host 

Material from Canada. 

OMB Number: 0579–0142. 

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 may 

prohibit or restrict the importation, 

entry, exportation, or movement in 

interstate commerce of any plant, plant 

product, biological control organism, 

noxious weed, means of conveyance, or 

other article if the Secretary determines 

that the prohibition or restriction is 

necessary to prevent a plant pest or 

noxious weed from being introduced 

into or disseminated within the United 

States. This authority has been 

delegated to the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS), 

which administers regulations to 

implement the PPA. Regulations 

governing the importation of gypsy 

moth host material into the United 

States from Canada are contained in 7 

CFR 319.77 through 319.77–5. 

These regulations are intended to 

prevent the introduction of gypsy moth 

into noninfested areas of the United 

States by placing certain inspection and 

documentation requirements on gypsy 

moth host material (i.e., regulated 

articles) imported from Canada. These 

regulated articles are: Trees without 

roots (e.g., Christmas trees), trees with 

roots, shrubs with roots and persistent 

woody stems, logs and pulpwood with 

back attached, outdoor household 

articles, and mobile homes and their 

associated equipment. Under the 

regulations, phytosanitary certificates, 

certificates of origin, or signed 

homeowner statements will be required 

for some of these regulated articles, 

depending on their place of origin in 

Canada and their destination in the 

United States. These requirements 

necessitate the use of information 

collection activities. 

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 

0.0363228 hours per response. 

Respondents: Canadian plant health 

authorities; growers, exporters, or 

shippers of Christmas trees, shrubs, 

logs, pulpwood, and other articles from 

gypsy moth-infested provinces in 

Canada; and private individuals 

entering the United States with mobile 

home or outdoor household articles. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 147. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 15.170068. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 2,230. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 81 hours. (Due to 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2011 / Notices 28949 

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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 13th day of 

May 2011.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Tomatoes From 

Spain, Chile, France, Morocco, and 

Western Sahara. 

OMB Number: 0579–0131. 

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, including 

fruit flies, 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). 

The regulations in § 319.56–28 allow 

tomatoes from Spain, Chile, France, 

Morocco, and Western Sahara to be 

imported into the United States subject 

to certain conditions designed to protect 

the tomatoes from infestation by the 

Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly). 

Allowing tomatoes to be imported 

necessitates the use of certain 

information collection activities, 

including completing phytosanitary 

inspection certificates and maintaining 

records regarding trap placement and 

Medfly captures. The information we 

collect serves as the supporting 

documentation needed to confirm that 

the tomatoes meet the conditions set 

forth in 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 

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 

0.6876513 hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers, foreign 

officials, shippers. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 34. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 72.882352. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 2,478. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,704 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.
