Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Clementines, 

Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0242. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701– 

7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to carry out operations or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control, prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests new to the United States or 

not known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The 

regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and 

Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through 

319.56–8) prohibit or restrict the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world, to prevent the introduction 

and dissemination of plant pests, 

including fruit flies. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) requires that some 

plants or plant products are 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

inspection certificate that is completed 

by plant health officials in the 

originating or transiting country. APHIS 

will use the information on this 

certificate to determine the pest 

condition of the shipment at the time of 

inspection in the foreign country. 

Without the information, all shipments 

would need to be inspected very 

thoroughly, thereby requiring 

considerable more time, this would 

slow the clearance of international 

shipments. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 19. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 147. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Inspection, Licensing, and 

Procurement of Animals. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0254. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Welfare Act (AWA) (7 U.S.C. 2131 et 

seq.) authorizes the Secretary of 

Agriculture to promulgate standards and 

other requirements governing the 

humane handling, housing, care, 

treatment, and transportation of certain 

animals by dealers, research facilities, 

exhibitors, carriers, and intermediate 

handlers. The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) has the 

responsibility to enforce the AWA and 

to regulate the humane care and 

handling of most warm-blooded animals 

used for research or exhibition 

purposes, sold as pets, or transported in 

commerce. APHIS will collect 

information using several forms. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect health certificates, 

program of veterinary care, application 

for license and record of acquisition, 

disposition and transportation of 

animals. The information is used to 

ensure those dealers, exhibitors, 

research facilities, carriers, etc., are in 

compliance with the Animal Welfare 

Act and regulations and standards 

promulgated under this authority of the 

Act. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 89. 

Frequency of Responses:
