SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Importation of Tomatoes With Stems From the Republic of 
Korea.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0371.
    Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an 
information collection.
    Abstract: Under the Plant Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et 
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or 
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 contained in ``Subpart--
Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56 through 319.56-76).
    Under the regulations, tomatoes with stems from the Republic of 
Korea may be imported into the United States under certain conditions, 
as listed in 7 CFR 319.56-52, to prevent the introduction of plant 
pests into the United States. These regulations require information 
collection activities including inspection, registered pest-
exclusionary structures, recordkeeping, trapping, and a phytosanitary 
certificate with an additional declaration stating that the tomatoes 
were produced in accordance with the regulations.
    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 0.589 hours per response.
    Respondents: Growers, importers, and exporters of tomatoes with 
stems from the Republic of Korea; and the national plant protection 
organization of the Republic of Korea.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 3.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 31.7.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 95.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 56 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.
