SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Clementines 

From Spain. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0203. 

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 319.56–69). 

In accordance with § 319.56–34, 

clementines from Spain are subject to 

certain conditions before entering the 

United States to ensure that exotic plant 

pests, such as Mediterranean fruit fly, 

are not introduced into the United 

States. The regulations require the use 

of information collection activities, 

including a trust fund agreement, 

grower registration and agreement, a 

Mediterranean fruit fly management 

program, fruit fly trapping and control 

activities, recordkeeping, a 

phytosanitary certificate, and box 

labeling. 

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 

0.0033 hours per response. 

Respondents: Growers and shippers of 

clementines and the national plant 

protection organization of Spain. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 4,508. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 434.54. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,958,919. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 6,507 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 20th day of 

August 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Infectious Salmon Anemia; 

Payment of Indemnity. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0192. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is authorized, among 

other things, to prevent the interstate 

spread of serious diseases and pests of 

livestock within the United States when 

feasible. In connection with this 

mission, APHIS established regulations 

in 9 CFR part 53 to pay indemnity to 

salmon producers in Maine whose fish 

are destroyed because of infectious 

salmon anemia (ISA). However, 

payment is subject to the availability of 

funding. 

ISA is a foreign animal disease of 

Atlantic salmon that is caused by an 

orthomyxovirus. The disease affects 

wild and farmed Atlantic salmon. ISA 

poses a substantial threat to the 

economic viability and sustainability of 

salmon aquaculture in the United 

States. 

In order to take part in the indemnity 

program, producers must enroll in the 

cooperative ISA control program 

administered by APHIS and the State of 

Maine. Program participants must 

inform the ISA Program Veterinarian in 

writing of the name of their accredited 

veterinarian, develop biosecurity 

protocols and a site-specific ISA action 

plan, submit fish inventory and 

mortality information, complete an 

appraisal and indemnity claim form, 

and assist APHIS or State officials with 

onsite disease surveillance, testing, and 

biosecurity audits. 

Since the last extension of approval 

for these information collection 

activities, APHIS has decreased the 

estimated annual number of responses 

from 718 to 182 for two reasons. APHIS 

overestimated the estimated annual 

number of responses per respondent by 

listing 16 responses per respondent for 

2 items when it should have been 1 

response per respondent. In addition, 

there has been a decrease in the number 

of aquaculture operations, which has 

resulted in a change in the estimated 

annual number of respondents from 16 

to 12. 

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

(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 2.66 

hours per response. 

Respondents: ISA program 

participants, such as certain aquaculture 

industry business owners, managers, 

site employees, accredited veterinarians, 

or laboratory personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 12. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 15.17. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 182. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 484 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.
