Title: Importation of Citrus From
Peru; Expansion of Citrus-Growing
Area.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0433.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The United States
Department of Agriculture, Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
is responsible for preventing plant pests
and noxious weeds from entering the
United States, preventing the spread of
plant diseases not widely distributed in
the United States, and eradicating those
imported pests and noxious weeds
when eradication is feasible. Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), 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 319.56–1
through 319.56–12, referred to below as
the regulations), 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 and
plant diseases.
APHIS currently allows the
importation of citrus fruit to the
continental United States from Peru
utilizing a systems approach that
mitigates the plant pest risk associated
with citrus fruit produced in Peru. This
systems approach allows the
importation of citrus fruit from Peru
while continuing to provide protection
against the introduction of plant pests
into the continental United States.
Allowing the importation of citrus into
the United States from Peru requires
information collection activities, such as
phytosanitary certificates, grower
registrations and agreements,
recordkeeping, fruit fly management
programs with trapping and control of
fruit fly inspections, import permit
applications, port of first arrival
sampling inspections, emergency action
notifications, and notices of arrival.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

PO 00000

Frm 00005

Sfmt 4703

Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 1.6 hours per
response.
Respondents: National plant
protection organization of Peru,
producers, and exporters.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 66.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 13.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 853.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,360 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 24th day of
October 2018.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
