DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

March 23, 2017.
    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 
are requested regarding (1) 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) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) 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 April 
27, 2017 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: Plum Pox Compensation.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0159.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701 et seq.), 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. The regulations in 7 
CFR 301.74-5 permit owners of commercial stone fruit orchards and 
owners of fruit tree nurseries to receive compensation under certain 
circumstances. Owners of commercial stone fruit orchards may receive 
compensation for losses associated with trees destroyed to control plum 
pox pursuant to an emergency action notification (EAN) issued by the 
Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Owners of fruit tree 
nurseries may receive compensation for net revenue losses associated 
with movement or sale of nursery stock prohibited under an EAN issued 
by APHIS with respect to regulated articles within the nursery in order 
to control plum pox. Plum Pox is an extremely serious viral disease of 
plants that can affect many stone fruit species, including plum, peach, 
apricot, almond, and nectarine. APHIS will collect information using 
form PPQ 651 Application for Plum Pox Compensation, PPQ 523 Emergency 
Action Notification, Orchard Owner Records, Destruction Verification 
Document, and State Compensation.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect the owner's 
name and address, a description of the owner's property, and a 
certification statement that the trees removed from the owner's 
property were stone fruit trees from commercial fruit orchards or fruit 
tree nurseries. For claims made by owners of stone fruit orchards, the 
completed application must be accompanied by a copy of the EAN ordering 
the destruction of their trees, the notification's accompanying 
inventory describing the acreage and ages of trees removed and 
documentation verifying that the destruction of the trees have been 
completed and the date of that completion. For claims made by owners of 
fruit tree nurseries, the completed application must be accompanied by 
a copy of the EAN prohibiting the same or movement of the nursery 
stock, the notification's accompanying inventory describing the total 
number of trees covered by the EAN, their age and variety, and 
documentation indicating the final disposition of the nursery stock. 
Without the information APHIS would be unable to compensate eligible 
grove and nursery owners for their losses.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 5.
