APHIS is proposing to codify the
requirements for requesting changes in our regulations that
restrict the importation of plants, plant parts, and plant
products. Under this proposal, persons who request changes to those
regulations would be required to provide certain mandatory
information as a prerequisite to consideration of the request by
PPQ, APHIS. This action is needed because few applicants provide
the basic information required to properly consider their
requests.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
