Transiting the United States to Foreign Countries.

[[Page 23665]]

    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701-7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or 
restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant pests 
to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or 
their dissemination within the United States. The Code of Federal 
Regulations, Sec.  352.30 addresses the movement into or through the 
United States of untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from 
Mexico that transit the United States en route to foreign countries.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service (APHIS) is taking action to provide additional 
protection against the possible introduction of fruit flies via 
untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico that transit 
the United States. Untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from 
Mexico transiting the United States for export to another country must 
be shipped in sealed, refrigerated container and insect-proof 
packaging. A transportation and exportation permit must be issued by an 
inspector for shipments of untreated oranges, tangerines, and 
grapefruit from Mexico. Without the information, APHIS would not be 
able to allow the movement of untreated citrus to transit the United 
States to foreign countries.

Individual or households.
