Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Importation of Clementines, 

Mandarins, and Tangerines From Chile. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0242. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701– 

7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to carry out operations or 

measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, 

control, prevent, or retard the spread of 

plant pests new to the United States or 

not known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The 

regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and 

Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through 

319.56–8) prohibit or restrict the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world, to prevent the introduction 

and dissemination of plant pests, 

including fruit flies. The Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

amended the fruits and vegetables 

regulations to allow the importation, 

under certain conditions, of 

clementines, mandarins, and tangerines 

from Chile into the United States. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS requires that some plants or 

plant products are accompanied by a 

phytosanitary inspection certificate that 

is completed by plant health officials in 

the originating or transiting country. 

APHIS will use the information on this 

certificate to determine the pest 

condition of the shipment at the time of 

inspection in the foreign country. This 

information is used as a guide to the 

intensity of the inspection that APHIS 

must conduct when the shipment 

arrives. Without the information, all 

shipments would need to be inspected 

very thoroughly, thereby requiring 

considerably more time; this would 

slow the clearance of international 

shipments. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Federal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 44. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 162. 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Animal Disease Traceability: 

Tribal Nations Using Systems for 

Location Notification. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0327. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 

8301–8317) is the primary Federal law 

governing the protection of animal 

health. The law gives the Secretary of 

Agriculture broad authority to detect, 

control, or eradicate pests or diseases of 

livestock or poultry. The Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service’s 

(APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS) 

safeguards U.S. animal health through a 

variety of activities including disease 

control. One important part of disease 

control is animal disease traceability. 

Animal disease traceability means being 

able to document the movement history 

of an animal throughout its life. To help 

trace animals, APHIS has made several 

systems available to States and Tribes 

for managing the issuance of unique 

location identification numbers 

including the Standardized Premises 

Registration System and a Tribal 

Premises Registration System. States 

and Tribes can elect whether to use one 

of the APHIS’s systems. Tribes can 

designate which premises registration 

system they would like to use, if any, by 

completing VS 1–63, Tribal Location 

Identification System Implementation 

Request. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will use the information 

provided on VS 1–63 to contact the 

respondents and help them use the 

premises registration system they 

selected. The information also helps 

ensure that when multiple parties claim 

to represent Tribes in managing location 

identification information, USDA only 

deals with those entities the Tribe has 

officially recognized. If this information 

was not collected, APHIS’ ability to 

address traceability needs specified to 

Tribes would be significantly hampered. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 25. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 31.
