*Title:*                     Importation of Gypsy Moth Host Materials from Canada.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0142.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect pests from entering the United States, preventing the spread of pests not widely distributed in the United States, and eradicating those imported pests when eradication is feasible. Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701*et seq.*), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to regulate the importation of plants, plant products, and other articles to prevent the introduction of injurious plant pests. The Plant Protection and Quarantine program within USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is responsible for ensuring that these regulations are enforced.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS will collect information from individuals both within and outside the United States using phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, a written statement, a compliance agreement and an emergency Action notice. Information collected will ensure that importing foreign logs, trees, shrubs, and other articles do not harbor plant or insect pests such as the gypsy moth. Failing to collect this information would cripple APHIS' ability to ensure that trees, shrubs, logs, and a variety of other items imported from Canada do not harbor gypsy moths.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit; Individuals or households; Federal Government.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     2,526.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     212.

*Title:*                     Importation of Clementines from Spain.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0203.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701*et seq.*), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to regulate the importation of plants, plant products, and other articles to prevent the introduction of injurious plant pests. The regulations in “Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables,” 7 CFR 319.56 through 319.56-81, prohibits or restrict the importation of certain fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world to prevent the introduction and dissemination of plant pest, including fruit flies. Under the regulations, clementines from Spain are subject to certain conditions before entering the United States to ensure that exotic plant pest, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly, are not introduced into the United States.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS uses the following information collection activities to allow the importation of Clementines from Spain when the requirements include: Provisions that the Clementines be grown in accordance with a Mediterranean fruit fly management program established by the Government of Spain; Trapping and Control Records; Phytosanitary Certificate; Labeling and Traceback; Cold Treatment Data for Consignments; Trust Fund Agreement; Grower Registration and Agreement; Management Program Mediterranean Fruit Fly Monitoring; Cold Treatment Facility/Carrier Certification; Workplan, Advance Reservations for Cold Treatment Port Space; and Emergency Action Notification.                

Failure to collect this information would cripple APHIS' ability to ensure that clementines from Spain are not carrying fruit flies.

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit; Federal Government.

*Title:*                     Importation of Longan from Taiwan.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0351.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C 7701), 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                           ( print page 29529)                        throughout the United States. The fruits and vegetables regulations allow the importation of commercial shipments of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United States. As a condition of entry, the longan will be subject to cold treatment and special port-of-arrival inspection procedures for certain quarantine pests.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS will use the following information collection activities to allow the import of commercial shipment of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United States: Phytosanitary Certificate, Inspection by NPPOs in Taiwan, Stamping of Boxes and Emergency Action Notification. Failing to collect this information would cripple APHIS ability to ensure that longan from Taiwan are not carrying plant pests.

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0378.                

*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 “Subpart-Fruit and Vegetables” (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319 56-71), 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 that are not widely distributed within the United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) allows the importation of fresh pitaya fruit from Central America into the continental United States.
