DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

June 9, 2015.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
regarding (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by July 15, 
2015 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building, 
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are encouraged to 
submit their comments to OMB via email to: [email protected] 
or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Copies of the submission(s) 
may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Peppers from the Republic of Korea.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0282.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (PPA) (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. Regulations authorized by the PPA concerning the importation of 
fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the 
world are contained in ``Subpart Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56 
through 319.56-72). The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) fruits and vegetables regulations allow the importation of 
peppers from the Republic of Korea under certain conditions into the 
continental United States. As a condition of entry, the peppers must be 
grown in approved insect-proof, pest-free greenhouses and packed in 
pest-exclusionary packinghouses.
    Need and Use of the Information: Each consignment of pepper from 
the Republic of Korea must be accompanied by a phytosanitary 
certificate of inspection with a declaration issued by the National 
Plant Quarantine Service of Korea officials stating the peppers were 
grown in greenhouses in accordance with the regulations in 7 CFR 319-
56-42 and were inspected and found free of certain plant pests. Failing 
to collect this information would cripple APHIS' ability to ensure that 
peppers from Korea are not carrying plant pests and would cause 
millions of dollars in damage to U.S. agriculture.
    Description of Respondents: Federal Government (Foreign); Business 
or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 4.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

    Title: Nomination Request Form; Animal Disease Training.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0353.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 is 
the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. The 
law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect, 
control, eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is responsible for 
administering regulations intended to prevent the introduction of 
animal diseases into the United States. The Professional Development 
Staff (PDS) of Veterinary Services within APHIS provides vital training 
to private veterinarians and State, Tribal, Industry, and university 
personnel which prepare them for animal disease response. To determine 
the need and demand for such courses, PDS must collect information from 
individuals who wish to attend training events facilitated by PDS.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information will be collected from 
private veterinarians, State, Tribal, industry, and university 
personnel who desire to attend a PDS-sponsored training event. Prior to 
every PDS-facilitated event, respondents will submit a completed 
Nomination/Registration Request Form (VS Form 1-5) to the Regional 
Training Coordinators. Names, work addresses, work phone numbers, work 
email addresses, agency/organization affiliation, and job title as well 
as supervisor and region approval is needed to produce participant 
rosters once course selections are made.
    Without the collection of this information, PDS cannot conduct 
training events to educate Federal, State and private veterinarians on 
eradication of diseases and sample collection.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 350.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 116.
