SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of French Beans and Runner Beans From Kenya Into
the United States.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0373.
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).
Section 319.56-54 provides the requirements for the importation of
French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and runner beans (P. coccineus L.)
from Kenya into the United States. These commodities may be imported
under certain conditions to prevent the

[[Page 23174]]

introduction of plant pests into the United States. The regulations
require information collection activities, including inspections,
packinghouse registration, box labeling, and a phytosanitary
certificate attesting that the conditions in Sec. 319.56-54 have been
met and that each consignment has been inspected and found free of
certain pests.
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 0.03 hours per response.
Respondents: Businesses and the national plant protection
organization of Kenya.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 3.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 681.
Estimated annual number of responses: 2,044.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 55 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 16th day of May 2017.
Jere L. Dick,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
