We are publishing a proposed rule that
will allow Fujivariety apples (grown in certified orchards within
approved production areas in the Republic of Korea) to be imported
into the United States, without treatment, under conditions
designed to prevent the introduction of peach fruit moths, yellow
peach moths, and the fruit tree spider mites. The conditions to
which the proposed importation of apples would be subject,
including pest risk-reducing cultural practices, packinghouse
procedures, and inspection and shipping procedures, would reduce
the risk of pest introduction to an insignificant level.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
