Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Foreign Quarantine Notices. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0049. 

Summary of Collection: The Plant 

Protection Act (PPA) (Title IV, Pub. L. 

106–224, 114 Statute 438, 7 U.S.C. 7701 

et seq.) grants the Secretary of 

Agriculture authority to prohibit or 

restrict the importation, entry, 

exportation, or movement in interstate 

commerce of plant pests and other 

articles when such actions prevent the 

introduction or dissemination of plant 

pests into or within the United States. 

Implementing the laws described above 

is necessary in order to prevent 

injurious plant and insect pests from 

entering the United States, a situation 

that could produce serious 

consequences for USDA. 

Regulations and subsequent 

requirements authorized by the PPA 

concerning the importation of fruits, 

vegetables, plants for planting, logs, 

lumber, unprocessed wood products, 

cotton, corn, rice, sugar cane, and 

coffee, are contained in Parts 319 and 

352 of Title 7, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). They require APHIS 

to collect information from a variety of 

foreign governments, businesses, and 

individuals, both within and outside of 

the United States, and provide the basis 

for the APHIS Plant Protection and 

Quarantine (PPQ) program’s foreign 

quarantine notices. On a quarterly basis, 

APHIS will submit a report to the Office 

of Management and Budget that 

documents the burden imposed by 

import requirements for commodities 

covered by this information collection 

(fruits, vegetables, plants for planting, 

logs, lumber, unprocessed wood 

products, cotton, corn, rice, sugar cane, 

and coffee) that have been finalized 

within that quarterly period. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information such as 

operational workplans; cooperative 

service agreements; trust funds; 

production or processing site/facility 

registrations; foreign site certification of 

inspection and/or treatment; 

applications for permits; appeals of 

denial or revocation of permits; requests 

for additional mailing labels; 

compliance agreements; phytosanitary 

certificates; labeling; importer 

documents; agreements for post entry 

quarantine State screening notices; 30- 

day article notifications; requests for 

emergency transshipment or diversion; 

notices of arrival; emergency action 

notifications; and monitoring/ 

recordkeeping from responsible entities. 

In addition, APHIS will collect required 

information from national plant 

protection organizations as part of the 

commodity import approval process.

Businesses, Individuals and 

Households, Federal Government and 

State Governments.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Nomination Request Form; 

Animal Disease Training. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0353. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act of 2002 is the 

primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS’) Veterinary Services 

(VS) is responsible for administering 

regulations intended to prevent the 

introduction of animal diseases into the 

United States. VS Professional People 

Training (PPT) provides training on 

responses to animal disease events, 

sample collection procedures, and 

disease mitigation and eradication 

activities to private veterinarians and 

State, Tribal, military, international, 

industry, and university personnel. The 

courses are designed to prepare 

participants for activities dealing with a 

U.S. animal disease incident. 

Need and Use of the Information: VS 

collects information using VS Form 1– 

5 from private veterinarians as well as 

State, Tribal, military, international, 

university, and industry personnel who 

want to attend PDS animal disease 

training. PPT requires the applicants’ 

work addresses, work telephone 

numbers, work email addresses, agency/ 

organization affiliations, supervisors’ 

names and email addresses, and job 

titles. PPT uses this information to 

produce participant rosters after 

participants select courses and during 

training to encourage ongoing working

participants. Applicants submit the 

completed form (Web-based) before the 

PPT course date. The appropriate 

APHIS official selects applicants based 

on the need in their respective States for 

such trained personnel. VS Form 1–5 is 

subsequently sent to a PPT Program 

Specialist for processing. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal 

Government.

Title: Citrus Canker, Citrus Greening, 

and Asian Citrus Psyllid; Quarantine 

and Interstate Movement Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0363. 

Summary of Collection: The Plant 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

either independently or in cooperation 

with the States, to carry out operations 

or measures to detect, eradicate, 

suppress, control, prevent, or retard the 

spread of plant pests (such as citrus 

canker) new or widely distributed 

throughout the United States. In the 

‘‘Domestic Quarantine Notices’’ in 7 

CFR part 301, hereafter referred to as the 

regulations, the subpart ‘‘Citrus Canker’’ 

(§§ 301.75 through 301.75–17) and 

‘‘Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus 

Psyllid’’ (§§ 301.76 through 301.76–11) 

provide the regulatory guidance for the 

presence of citrus canker (CC), citrus 

greening (CG) and Asian citrus psyllid 

(ACP). The regulations contained in 7 

CFR 301.75 and 301.76 restrict the 

interstate movement of regulated 

articles from and through areas 

quarantined because of CC, CG and 

ACP. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) will collect information 

using the following activity to address 

the risk associated with the interstate 

movement of citrus nursery stock and 

other regulated articles from areas 

quarantined for citrus greening: Limit 

Permit (PPO Form 530), Federal 

Certificate (PPO Form 540), Compliance 

Agreement (PPO Form 519), Labeling 

Requirements, Recordkeeping, Appeal 

of Cancellation of Certificates, Permits, 

and Compliance Agreements, and 

Emergency Action Notification (PPO 

Form 523). Failing to collect this 

information could cause a severe 

economic loss to the citrus industry.

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 1,395.
