SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Shelled Peas From Kenya.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0302.
Type of Request: 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).
Under these regulations, shelled peas from Kenya are subject to
certain conditions before entering the United States to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the United States. The regulations
require that shipments of peas be accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the national plant protection organization (NPPO)
of Kenya with an additional declaration stating that the peas have been
shelled and washed in accordance with Sec. 319.56-45 and have been
inspected and found free of certain plant pests.
We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve
our use of these information collection activities 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, 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 hour per response.
Respondents: Importers and the Kenyan NPPO.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 1.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of responses: 1.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1 hour. (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.
