Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

July 22, 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 August 
27, 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: Domestic Quarantines.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0088.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701-7772) the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or 
restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant pests 
to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or 
their dissemination within the United States. Plant Protection and 
Quarantine, a program within USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service, (APHIS) is responsible for implementing this Act and does so 
through the enforcement of its domestic quarantine regulations 
contained in title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations, CFR part 301. 
Administering these regulations often requires APHIS to collect 
information from a variety of individuals who are involved in growing, 
packing, handling, transporting, plants and plant products. The 
information collected from these individuals is vital to helping ensure 
that injurious plant diseases and insect pests do not spread within the 
United States. Information to be collected is necessary to determine 
compliance with domestic quarantines. Federal/State domestic 
quarantines are necessary to regulate the movement of articles from 
infested areas to noninfested area. Collecting information requires the 
use of a number of forms and documents. APHIS will collect information 
using various forms and documents.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information by 
interviewing growers and shippers at the time the inspections are being 
conducted and by having growers and shippers of exported plants and 
plant products complete an application for a transit permit. 
Information is collected from the growers, packers, shippers, and 
exporters of regulated articles to ensure that the articles, when moved 
from a quarantined area, do not harbor injurious plant diseases and 
insect pests. The information obtained will be used to determine 
compliance with regulations and for issuance of forms, permits, 
certificates, and other required documents.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Farms; 
State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 28,244.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 512,491.
