SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Management 

Information System. 

OMB Number: 0579–0335. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: As authorized by the 

Animal Damage Control Act of 1931 (7 

U.S.C. 426–426c; 46 Stat. 1468), as 

amended, the Secretary of Agriculture 

may conduct activities and enter into 

agreements with States, local 

jurisdictions, individuals, public and 

private agencies, organizations, and 

institutions in the control of nuisance 

mammals and birds and those mammal 

and bird species that are reservoirs for 

zoonotic diseases. 

Wildlife Services (WS) of the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS), U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, cooperates with Federal 

agencies, State and local governments, 

and private individuals to research and 

implement the best methods of 

managing conflicts between wildlife and 

human health and safety, agriculture, 

property, and natural resources. 

Program activities usually consist of 

either cooperative direct control or 

technical assistance programs. As part 

of its program, WS enters into 

agreements to document the terms and 

conditions for cooperating with parties 

outside of APHIS (those parties are 

referred to as ‘‘cooperators’’). In 

response to requests for assistance in 

managing wildlife damage, WS collects 

information about organizations, 

industry, Federal and non-Federal 

entities, and members of public as part 

of its program. Information is collected 

through the use of work initiation 

documents, cooperative agreement 

forms, supply order forms and sales 

records, project reports, and a resource 

values survey. The information 

collected through these forms is used by 

the Agency to: 

• Identify cooperators appropriately. 

• Identify lands on which WS 

personnel will work. 

• Differentiate between cooperators 

(i.e., property owners, land managers, or 

resource owners) who request assistance 

in managing damage caused by wildlife. 

• Identify the land areas on which 

wildlife damage management activities 

would be conducted. 

• Identify the relationship between 

resources or property, WS’ protection of 

such resources or property, and the 

damage caused by wildlife. 

• Determine the methods or damage 

management activities to deal with the 

damage. 

• Establish a record that a cooperative 

agreement has been entered into with a 

cooperator. 

• Document that permission has been 

obtained from landowners to go on the 

cooperator’s property. 

• Record wildlife damage occurrences 

on cooperator’s property and steps to 

address them. 

• Record occurrences that may have 

affected non-target species or humans 

during, or related to, WS project actions. 

• Determine satisfaction with service 

to help WS evaluate, modify, and 

improve its program. 

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 

0.04623497 hours per response. 

Respondents: Federal, State, and local 

agencies, and the public who request 

services from WS or engage in wildlife 

damage management projects with WS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Mangoes From 

India Into the Continental United States. 

OMB Number: 0579–0312. 

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 into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. As authorized 

by the PPA, APHIS regulates the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world as provided in ‘‘SubpartFruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–56). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

APHIS allows the importation of 

mangoes from India into the continental 

United States under certain conditions 

to prevent the introduction of plant 

pests into the United States. These 

conditions involve the use of 

information collection activities, one of 

which is a phytosanitary certificate. As 

a condition of entry, the mangoes must 

undergo irradiation treatment and be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate with additional declaration 

statements providing specific 

information regarding the treatment and 

inspection of the mangoes and the 

orchards in which they are grown. The 

additional information collection 

activities that are required include a 

preclearance workplan, trust fund 

agreement, compliance agreement, 

monitoring and certification of 

inspections and treatments, and 

recordkeeping. 

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 0.53 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers and the 

national plant protection organization of 

India. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 152. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 33.61. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5,109. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,685 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.
