SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Fresh Baby Kiwi From Chile.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0374.
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 certain fruits and vegetables in accordance with the
regulations in ``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1
through 319.56-76).
Under these regulations, fresh baby kiwi from Chile may be imported
into the continental United States under certain conditions, as listed
in 7 CFR 319.56-53, to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the
United States. The regulations require information collection
activities, including an operational workplan, low prevalence
production site certification, production site registration,
phytosanitary inspections, labeling of containers, identification of
fruit in shipping documentation to specify production sites and packing
sheds where fruit was processed, and a phytosanitary certificate.
We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (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 0.02 hours per response.
Respondents: Growers and shippers of fresh baby kiwi from Chile and
the national plant protection organization of Chile.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 5.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 8,243.6.
Estimated annual number of responses: 41,218.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 849 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.
