and 9 CFR 130. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0094. 

Summary of Collection: The Food, 

Agriculture, Conservation and Trade 

Act of 1990, authorizes the Secretary of 

Agriculture and the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to 

prescribe and collect fees to cover the 

cost of providing certain Agricultural 

Quarantine and Inspection (AQI) 

services. The Act gives the Secretary the 

authority to charge for the inspection of 

international passengers, commercial 

vessels, trucks, aircraft, and railroad 

cars, and to recover the costs of 

providing the inspection of plants and 

plant products offered for export. The 

Secretary is authorized to use the 

revenue to provide reimbursements to 

any appropriation accounts that incur 

costs associated with the AQI services 

provided. APHIS will collect 

information using several APHIS forms. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS collects information, which 

includes the taxpayer identification 

number, name, and address and 

telephone number to collect fees. The 

procedures and the information 

requested for the passengers and 

aircrafts are used to ensure that the 

correct users fees are collected and 

remitted in full in a timely manner. 

Without the information, APHIS would 

not be able to ensure substantial 

compliance with the statute. 

Noncompliance with the statute could 

result in misappropriation of public 

funds and lost revenue to the Federal 

Government.
