SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Peppers From the 

Republic of Korea. 

OMB Number: 0579–0282. 

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. Regulations 

authorized by the PPA concerning the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–51). 

Under these regulations, peppers from 

the Republic of Korea are subject to 

certain conditions before entering the 

United States to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States. The regulations include 

requirements for greenhouse inspections 

by South Korean national plant

quarantine service (NPQS) officials and 

the use of a phytosanitary certificate 

with a declaration by NPQS officials 

stating the peppers were grown in 

accordance with the regulations and 

found free of certain plant pests. 

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 0.6 

hours per response. 

Respondents: South Korean national 

plant quarantine service officials and 

growers of peppers in South Korea. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 5. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 3 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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

October 2011.

living plants, plant parts, and seeds for 

propagation. 

Under these regulations, Christmas 

cactus and Easter cactus in approved 

growing media may be imported into 

the United States from the Netherlands

specific conditions, an agreement 

between APHIS and the plant protection 

service of the country where the plants 

are grown, and an agreement between 

the foreign plant protection service and
