Title: Importation of Mangoes from 

the Philippines 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0172 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7711– 

7714), the Secretary of Agriculture, 

either independently or in cooperation 

with the States, is authorized to carry 

out operations or measures to detect, 

eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or 

retard the spread of plant pests new to 

the United States or not know to be 

widely distributed throughout the 

United States. The Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

regulations on fruits and vegetables 

allow the importation of mangoes from 

Guimaras Island in the Republic of the 

Philippines into the United States under 

certain conditions. The regulations 

require the use of box marking to 

indicate the origin of the fruit, 

phytosanitary certificate to confirmed 

that the fruit has been grown and treated 

in accordance with the regulations and 

a trust fund agreement between the 

Republic of the Philippines Department 

of Agriculture and APHIS to cover the 

Agency’s participation in the treatment 

and inspection activities in the 

Philippines that are required for the 

importation of mangoes. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information from a 

variety of individuals who are involved 

in growing, packing, handling, 

transporting and exporting plants and 

plant products. The information APHIS 

collects serves as the supporting 

documentation for issuing PPQ forms 

and documents required to authorize 

release of restricted products, and allow 

movement of regulated products. The 

information APHIS collects is vital to 

helping ensure that injurious plant 

diseases and insect pest are not 

imported and do not spread into or 

within the United States.
