collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding; whether the

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Lacey Act Declaration 

Requirements; Plants and Plant 

Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0349. 

Summary of Collection: The Lacey 

Act, first enacted in 1900 and 

significantly amended in 1988, is the 

United States’ oldest Wildlife Protection 

Statute. The Act combats trafficking in 

‘‘illegal’’ wildlife, fish, or plants. The 

Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 

2008, which took effect May 22, 2008, 

amended the Lacey Act by expanding its 

protection to a broader range of plants 

and plant products (Section 8204, 

Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). 

As of May 22, 2008, the Lacey Act made 

it unlawful to import, export, transport, 

sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in 

interstate or foreign commerce any 

plant, with some limited exceptions, 

taken, possessed, transported, or sold in 

violation of the laws of the United 

States, a State, an Indian tribe, or any 

foreign law that protects plants. The 

Lacey Act also makes it unlawful to 

make or submit any false record, 

account, or label for, or any false 

identification of, any plant covered by 

the Act. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS uses the information from plant 

declarations to ensure compliance with 

the Lacey Act declaration requirements 

and to support Lacey Act enforcement 

efforts of investigating and prosecuting 

partner government agencies. Under the 

amended Lacey Act, importers are 

required to submit a declaration form 

(PPQ 505) for all plants. The PPQ 505B 

is the supplemental form which is 

provided the declarer if additional space 

is needed to enter the required 

information. The declaration must 

contain, among other things, the 

scientific name of the plant, value of the 

importation, quantity of the plant, and 

name of the country from which the 

plant was harvested. If species varies or 

is unknown, importers will have to 

declare the name of each species that 

may have been used to produce the 

product. This information will be used 

to support investigations into illegal 

logging practices by the Justice 

Department and also acts as a deterrent 

to illegal logging practices worldwide. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 24,070. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 481,778.

Subcommittee; hereafter referred to as 

the Pollinator Subcommittee of the 

National Agricultural Research, 

Extension Education, and Economics 

(NAREEE) Advisory Board, which is 

implemented by the Research, 

Education, and Economics (REE) 

Mission Area. Most recently, the 

NAREEE Board was amended and 

extended through September 30, 2023 

by the Agricultural Improvement Act of 

2018. This amended charter is 

consistent with 7 U.S.C. 3123, as 

amended, and is in accordance with the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C. App. 2. Further, USDA is charged 

by the 2018 Farm Bill, Title 10, Section 

1672, Subsection 4, to identify annual 

strategic pollinator priorities and goals 

for the Department in the context of 

specific research mandates. USDA 

recommends the Pollinator 

Subcommittee be initiated in 2022 as 

the newest subcommittee of the 

NAREEE Advisory Board. The 

subcommittee is advisory in nature, and 

members will be asked to make 

pollinator health-related 

recommendations, reviews, and 

consultation to the NAREEE Advisory 

Board and subsequently to REE, other 

USDA mission areas, and federal 

pollinator coordinators. The NAREEE 

Advisory Board Office is requesting that 

individuals who are interested in and 

qualified to serve on the Pollinator 

Subcommittee apply for appointment.

(based on Secretarial action). The 

NAREEE Advisory Board requires a

the Pollinator Subcommittee. The

Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary 

of Agriculture will make selections 

based on candidates who will: (1) Work 

collaboratively in representing diverse 

USDA pollinator stakeholders and areas 

of study; (2) provide sound and 

informed scientific input on pollinator 

research priorities; and (3) produce and 

utilize accurate, scientifically informed 

input on the best available science 

pertaining to various aspects of 

pollinator health. 

The Pollinator Subcommittee will 

formally meet (i.e., public meeting) once 

per year by video conference and/or in 

person. The NAREEE Advisory Board 

does not pay Pollinator Subcommittee 

members for their time but may 

reimburse travel expenses such as
