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. 

Kevin Shea, 

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service.
