SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Eggplant From 

Israel. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0350. 

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. As authorized 

by the PPA, APHIS regulates the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world as provided in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–69). 

Section 319.56–49 of the regulations 

provides for the importation of eggplant 

from Israel into the continental United 

States under specified conditions 

intended to prevent the introduction of 

certain quarantine pests. These 

requirements include the use of 

information collection activities, such as 

trapping records, box labeling, approval 

(grower registration) and inspection of 

pest-exclusionary structures, and a 

phytosanitary certificate issued by the 

national plant protection organization 

(NPPO) of Israel with an additional 

declaration confirming that the eggplant 

has been produced in accordance with 

the regulations. 

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 1.0 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Importers and growers 

of eggplant and the NPPO of Israel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 3. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1.667. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 5. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 5 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 30th day of 

July 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and 

Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0013. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Virus-SerumToxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151–159), the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is authorized to 

promulgate regulations designed to 

prevent the importation, preparation, 

sale, or shipment of harmful veterinary 

biological products. These regulations 

are contained in 9 CFR parts 102 to 124. 

Veterinary biological products 

include viruses, serums, toxins, and 

analogous products of natural or 

synthetic origin, such as vaccines, 

antitoxins, or the immunizing 

components of microorganisms 

intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or 

prevention of diseases in domestic 

animals. 

APHIS issues licenses to qualified 

establishments that produce veterinary 

biological products and issues permits 

to importers of such products. APHIS 

also enforces requirements concerning 

production, packaging, labeling, and 

shipping of these products and sets 

standards for the testing of these 

products. 

To help ensure that veterinary 

biological products used in the United 

States are pure, safe, potent, and 

effective, APHIS requires certain 

information collection activities, 

including, among other things, 

establishment license applications, 

product license applications, product 

import permit applications, product and 

test report forms, field study summaries, 

stop distribution and sale notifications, 

and recordkeeping. 

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 

1.976 hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. importers, 

exporters, and shippers of veterinary 

biological products; State veterinary 

authorities; and operators of 

establishments that produce or test 

veterinary biological products or that 

engage in product research and 

development. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 220. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 180.32 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 39,670. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 78,382 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.
