SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Clementines, 

Mandarins, and Tangerines from Chile. 

OMB Number: 0579-0242. 

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 319.56-50). 

In accordance with these regulations, 

clementines, mandarins, and tangerines 

from Chile may be imported only under 

certain conditions to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States. These conditions involve 

the use of information collection 

activities, including a phytosanitary 

certificate, trust fund agreement, permit, 

production site registration, and 

shipping documents. 

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 

0.4984615 hours per response. 

Respondents: Growers, shippers, and 

Chilean plant health officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 44. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 7.3863636. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 325. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 162 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 June 2010.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
