We are proposing to amend our regs
regarding the import of wheat from regions affected with KB. Our
proposed amendments would list regions and articles that would be
regulated for KB; increase the flexibility of the regs so they
could provide more readily for the recognition of areas where KB is
not known to occur within regions where KB is known to be present;
describe conditions under which wheat and related articles from
regions affected with KB could be imported into the US; and
specific cleaning and/or disinfection requirements.
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.
