SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Phytophthora Ramorum; 

Quarantine and Regulations. 

OMB Number: 0579-0310. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7 

U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the 

Secretary of Agriculture, either 

independently or in cooperation with 

States, to 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. 

In accordance with the regulations in 

‘‘Subpart—Phytophthora Ramorum’’ 

(§§ 301.92 through 301.92-12), the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture restricts the interstate 

movement of certain articles to prevent 

the spread of Phytophthora ramorum, 

the plant pathogen that causes the 

disease commonly known as sudden 

oak death. The regulations contain 

requirements for the interstate 

movement of regulated articles, such as 

nursery stock and certain trees, from 

both quarantined and nonquarantined 

areas and involve information collection 

activities, including certificates, 

compliance agreements, and 

recordkeeping. 

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 

0.3131 hours per response. 

Respondents: Nurseries in California, 

Oregon, and Washington. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1,427. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 5.0644709. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 7,227. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,263 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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of 

July 2010. 

Kevin Shea, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
