Title: Importation of Baby Squash and 

Baby Courgettes from Zambia.

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701), the 

Secretary of Agriculture 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 

known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. APHIS 

fruits and vegetables regulations allow 

the importation into the continental 

United States of baby squash and baby 

courgettes from Zambia. As a condition 

of entry, both commodities would have 

to be produced in accordance with a 

systems approach that would include 

requirements for pest exclusion at the 

production site, fruit fly trapping inside 

and outside the production site, and 

pest excluding packinghouse 

procedures. Both commodities would 

also be required to be accompanied by 

a phytosanitary certificate with an 

additional declaration stating that the 

baby squash and baby courgette have 

been produced in accordance with the 

proposed requirements. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information using 

the following: Physanitary Certificate, 

Records and Monitoring, Labeling on 

Cartons and Inspection of Greenhouses.

Title: Importation of Eggplant from 

Israel. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0350. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant and Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 

7701), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to carry out operation or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control, prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests new to the United States not 

known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. APHIS’ 

fruits and vegetables regulations allow 

the importation of commercial 

shipments of fresh eggplant from Israel. 

As a condition of entry, the eggplant 

must be grown under a system approach 

that would include requirements for 

pest exclusion at the production site, 

fruit fly trapping inside and outside the 

production site, and pest-excluding 

packinghouse procedures. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS uses the following information 

activities to allow for the importation of 

commercial consignments of fresh 

eggplant from Israel into the United 

States while continuing to provide 

protection against the introduction of 

quarantine pests: Phytosanitary 

Certificate (foreign) Trapping Records; 

Inspection of Pest-Exclusionary 

Structures by Israel NPPO’s, Labeling of 

Boxes, and Approved Pest-Exclusionary 

Structure. Failure to collect this 

information would cripple APHIS’ 

ability to ensure that eggplant from 

Israel is not carrying plant pests.
