SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Movement of Plants and Plant 

Products From Hawaii and the 

Territories. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0346. 

Type of request: Revision to and 

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. This authority 

has been delegated to the Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS), which administers regulations 

to implement the PPA. 

Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart— 

Regulated Articles From Hawaii and the 

Territories’’ (7 CFR 318.13–1 through 

318.13–26), APHIS prohibits or restricts 

the interstate movement of plants and 

plant products into the continental 

United States from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, 

the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands to prevent plant pests and 

noxious weeds from being introduced 

into and spread within the continental 

United States. 

The regulations contain requirements 

for a performance-based process for 

approving the interstate movement of 

commodities that, based on the findings 

of a pest risk analysis, can be safely 

imported subject to one or more 

designated phytosanitary measures and 

for acknowledging pest-free areas. These 

requirements involve information 

collection activities, including limited 

permits, inspections to issue limited 

permits, inspections of production 

areas, transit permits, compliance 

agreements, inspection and certification, 

labeling for fruits and vegetables 

produced in pest free areas, written 

requests for facility approvals, trapping 

and surveillance, and recordkeeping. In 

addition, the interstate movement of 

sweet potatoes from Hawaii include 

activities such as packaging, marking, 

identification, and certification. 

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 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.38 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Wholesalers and 

producers of plants and plant products; 

growers, shippers, and exporters in 

Hawaii and the Territories; State plant 

regulatory officials; and irradiation 

facility personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 188. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 114. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 21,433. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 8,261 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, on July 23, 2018.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service.

(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes 

the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict 

the importation, entry, or interstate

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 319.56–83). 

In accordance with § 319.56–42, 

peppers from the Republic of Korea are 

subject to certain conditions before 

entering the continental United States to 

prevent the introduction of plant pests 

into the United States. The regulations 

include requirements for greenhouse 

registration and inspection by officials 

of the national plant protection 

organization (NPPO) of the Republic of 

Korea, a phytosanitary certificate with a 

declaration by NPPO officials stating the 

peppers were grown in greenhouses in 

accordance with the regulations and 

inspected and found free of the listed 

plant pests, and emergency action 

notifications. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to
