SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Importation of Mangoes From India Into the Continental 
United States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0312.
    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. As authorized 
by the PPA, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 
regulates the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United 
States from certain parts of the world as provided in ``Subpart--Fruits 
and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319.56-75).
    Under Sec.  319.56-46 of the regulations, APHIS allows the 
importation of mangoes from India into the continental United States 
under certain conditions to prevent the introduction of plant pests 
into the United States. These conditions involve the use of information 
collection activities, one of which is a phytosanitary certificate. As 
a condition of entry, the mangoes must undergo irradiation treatment 
and be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with additional 
declaration statements providing specific information regarding the 
treatment and inspection of the mangoes and the orchards in which they 
are grown. The additional information collection activities include a 
preclearance workplan, trust fund agreement, compliance agreement, 
monitoring of inspections, and recordkeeping.
    Since the last approval of this collection by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), we have added activities that were 
previously not accounted for, such as an orchard inspection agreement 
between APHIS and the national plant protection organization (NPPO) of 
India, package labeling identifying the treatment facility and date of 
treatment, treatment certification, and denial/withdrawal of facility 
certification. We have also revised the estimates of burden associated 
with this information 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, 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 0.016 hours per response.
    Respondents: Importers of mangoes and the NPPO of India.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 76.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1,233.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 93,713.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1,509 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 2nd day of June 2016.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
