SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Importation of Jackfruit, Pineapple, and Starfruit From Malaysia Into the Continental United States. OMB Control Number: 0579-0408. 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 regulates the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world as provided in ``Subpart-- [[Page 15319]] Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319.56-76). In accordance with Sec. 319.56-65, jackfruit, pineapple, and starfruit from Malaysia may be imported into the continental United States under certain conditions to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States. Those conditions include irradiation treatment, inspection, and importation in commercial consignments. An additional condition of entry is that the fruit must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization (NPPO) of Malaysia, and the phytosanitary certificate must include an additional declaration as indicated in the regulations. 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 1 hour per response. Respondents: Importers of jackfruit, pineapple, and starfruit from Malaysia and the NPPO of Malaysia. Estimated annual number of respondents: 86. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 2. Estimated annual number of responses: 170. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 170 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 23rd day of March 2017. Jere L. Dick, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. [FR Doc. 2017-06216 Filed 3-27-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410-34-P
