**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

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.

**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
