    Title: Importation of Longan from Taiwan.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0351.
    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. The 
fruits and vegetables regulations allow the importation of commercial 
shipments of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United 
States. As a condition of entry, the longan will be subject to cold 
treatment and special port-of-arrival inspection procedures for certain 
quarantine pests.

information collection activities to allow the import of commercial 
shipment of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United States:

Government.
