*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.
