SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Baby Corn and Baby Carrots From Zambia.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0284.
Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the importation,
entry, or interstate movement of plants, plant products, and other
articles to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United
States or their dissemination within 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 319.56-1 through
319.56-73).
In accordance with Sec. 319.56-43, baby corn and baby carrots from
Zambia are subject to certain conditions before entering the
continental United States to prevent the introduction of plant pests
into the United States. The regulations include requirements for the
use of a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant
protection organization (NPPO) of Zambia stating that the commodity was
inspected and found free of certain pests.
The information collection activity of a phytosanitary certificate
was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under control
number 0579-0284. However, when we compared the regulations with this
collection activity, we found that inspection of production sites was
omitted. Therefore, we have added inspection of production sites to
this collection.
We are asking 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 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,

[[Page 59724]]

mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 1.4 hours per response.
Respondents: Importers and exporters of baby corn and baby carrots
and the NPPO of Zambia.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 6.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.67.
Estimated annual number of responses: 10.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 14 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 28th day of September 2015.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
