Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Poultry Meat and Other Poultry Products from 
Sinaloa and Sonora, Mexico
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0144.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 
(Title X, Subtitle E, Sec. 10401-18 of Pub. L. 107-171) is the primary 
Federal law governing the protection of animal health. Disease 
prevention is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy 
animal population and for enhancing the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), 
Veterinary Services' ability to allow United States animal producers to 
compete in the world market of animal and animal product trade APHIS 
currently has regulations in place that restrict the importation of 
poultry meat and other poultry products from Mexico due to the presence 
of Newcastle Disease (ND) in that country. However, APHIS allows the 
importation of poultry meat and poultry products from the Mexican 
States of Sinaloa and Sonora because APHIS has determined that poultry 
meat and products from these two Mexican States pose a negligible risk 
of introducing ND into the United States. To ensure that these items 
are safe for importation, APHIS requires that certain data appear on 
the foreign meat inspection certificate that accompanies the poultry 
meat and other poultry products from Sinaloa and Sonora to the United 
States. APHIS also requires that serial numbered seals be applied to 
containers carrying the poultry meat and other poultry products.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information to 
certify that the poultry meat or other poultry products were (1) 
derived from poultry born and raised in commercial breeding 
establishments in Sinaloa and Sonora; (2) derived from poultry that 
were slaughtered in Sinaloa or Sonora in a Federally-inspected 
slaughter plant approved to export these commodities to the United 
States in accordance with Food Safety & Inspection regulations; (3) 
processed at a Federally inspected processing plant in Sinaloa or 
Sonora; and (4) kept out of contact with poultry from any other State 
within Mexico. APHIS will also collect information to ensure that the 
poultry meat or poultry products from Sinaloa and Sonora pose the most 
negligible risk possible for introducing ND into the United States.

Government.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Fresh Pitaya Fruit from Central America into 
the Continental United States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0378.
    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 ``Subpart-Fruit and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 
319 56-71), 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 that are not 
widely distributed within the United States. The Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) allows the importation of fresh 
pitaya fruit from Central America into the continental United States.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service uses the following activities to collect 
information: Production Site Certification, Review and Maintain 
Documents, Registration of Packinghouses, Bilateral Workplan, Records 
of Fruit Fly Detections and Update Records, Shipping Documents 
Identifying the Places of Production, Phytosanitary Certificate with 
Additional Declaration, Production Site Registration, and Box Markings. 
If the information is not collected, APHIS' ability to protect the 
United States from exotic insect pest would be severely compromised.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 97.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 287.
