Title: Reporting and Recording 

Requirements for 7 CFR part 29. 

OMB Number: 0581–0056. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 30, 2010. 

Type of Request: Extension and 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: The Tobacco Inspection Act 

(7 U.S.C. 511–511s) requires that all 

tobacco sold at designated auction 

markets in the U.S. be inspected and 

graded. The Appropriations Act (7 

U.S.C. 511s note) requires that all 

tobacco eligible for price support in the 

U.S. be inspected and graded. The Fair 

and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 

2004 (7 U.S.C. 518–519a) eliminated 

price supports and marketing quotas for 

all tobacco beginning with the 2005 

crop year. Mandatory inspection and 

grading of domestic and imported 

tobacco was eliminated as well as the 

mandatory pesticide testing of imported 

tobacco and the tobacco market news 

program. The Tobacco Inspection Act 

also provides for interested parties to 

request inspection, pesticide testing, 

and grading services on a permissive 

basis. The information collection 

requirements authorized for the 

programs under the Tobacco Inspection 

Act and the Appropriations Act include: 

application for inspection of tobacco, 

application and other information used 

in the approval of new auction markets 

or the extension of services to 

designated tobacco markets, and the 

information required to be provided in 

connection with auction and 

nonauction sales. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1.60 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Primarily tobacco 

companies, tobacco manufacturers, 

import inspectors, and small businesses 

or organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 48. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

2415. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3851. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Citrus Canker; Interstate 

Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock 

and Fruit from Quarantined Areas. 

OMB Number: 0579-0317. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

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, such as citrus canker, that 

are new to or not widely distributed 

within the United States. 

Citrus canker is a plant disease that 

affects plant and plant parts, including 

fresh fruit of citrus and citrus relatives 

(family Rutaceae). Citrus canker can 

cause defoliation and other serious 

damage to the leaves and twigs of 

susceptible plants. It can also cause 

lesions on the fruit of infected plants 

and cause infected fruit to drop from the 

trees before reaching maturity. The 

aggressive A (Asiatic) strain of citrus 

canker can infect susceptible plants 

rapidly and lead to extensive economic 

losses in commercial citrus-producing 

areas. 

APHIS regulations to prevent the 

interstate spread of citrus canker are 

contained in ‘‘Subpart—Citrus Canker’’ 

(7 CFR 301.75-1 through 301.75-14). The 

regulations restrict the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from and 

through areas quarantined because of 

citrus canker and provide, among other 

things, conditions under which 

regulated nursery stock and fruit may be 

moved interstate. The interstate 

movement of regulated nursery stock 

and fruit from quarantined areas 

involves information collection 

activities, including cooperative 

agreements, certificates, and limited 

permits. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

This information collection includes 

information collection requirements 

currently approved by OMB control 

numbers 0579-0317, ‘‘Citrus Canker; 

Interstate Movement of Regulated 

Nursery Stock from Quarantined Areas,’’ 

and 0579-0325, ‘‘Citrus Canker; 

Movement of Fruit from Quarantined 

Areas.’’ After OMB approves and 

combines the burden for both 

collections under a single collection 

(0579-0317), ‘‘Citrus Canker; Interstate 

Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock 

and Fruit from Quarantined Areas,’’ the 

Department will retire number 0579- 

0325. 

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
