For copies of more detailed information on the information collection, 
contact Ms. Kimberly Hardy, APHIS' Information Collection Coordinator, 
at (301) 851-2727.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Location of Irradiation Treatment Facilities in the United 
States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0383.
    Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an 
information collection.
    Abstract: The regulations contained in 7 CFR part 305 (referred to 
below as the regulations) set out the general requirements for 
performing treatments and certifying or approving treatment facilities 
for fruits, vegetables, and other articles to prevent the introduction 
or dissemination of plant pests or noxious weeds into or through the 
United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture administers these regulations.
    The regulations in Sec.  305.9 set out irradiation treatment 
requirements for imported regulated articles; regulated articles moved 
interstate from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and 
the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands; and regulated 
articles moved interstate from areas quarantined for certain pests of 
concern. Section 305.9 also includes, among other things, additional 
requirements for irradiation facilities located in the States of 
Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, 
Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, 
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
    Under control number 0579-0383, the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has approved information collection activities consisting of a 
map identifying places where horticultural or other crops are grown 
within a 4-mile radius of a facility and a contingency plan approved by 
APHIS that each facility must have and that includes criteria for 
safely destroying or disposing of regulated articles. These activities 
are listed in Sec.  305.9. However, when comparing the regulations to 
this collection, we noticed activities in the regulations that were not 
previously listed in this collection. As a result, we are adding the 
following activities to this collection: Request for initial 
certification and inspection of a facility, certification and 
recertification of a facility, denial and withdrawal of certification, 
compliance agreements, irradiation treatment framework equivalency 
workplan, irradiation facilities notification, recordkeeping, written 
concurrence, treatment arrangements, pest management plan, and detailed 
layout of facility.
    We are asking OMB to approve our use of this information collection 
activity, 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, 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 1.03 hours per response.
    Respondents: Irradiation facilities in the United States, State 
governments, importers, and foreign government and national plant 
protection organization officials.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 29.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 9.55.

[[Page 61156]]

    Estimated annual number of responses: 277.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 285 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 5th day of October 2015.
Kevin Shea,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
