    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 
September 5, 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-

the collection of information that such persons are not required to

valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges from the Republic of Korea into 
the Continental United States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0314.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to carry out 
operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, 
prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests new to the United States 
or not known to be widely distributed throughout the United States. The 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amended the 
regulations governing the importation of citrus fruit to allow fresh 
Unshu oranges from the Republic of Korea to be imported in the 
continental United States under certain conditions. As a condition of 
entry, the oranges have to be prepared for shipping using packinghouse 
procedures that include culling of damaged or diseased fruit and 
washing in a water bath and a surface sterilization treatment.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS requires that some plants or 
plant products are accompanied by a phytosanitary inspection 
certificate that is completed by plant health officials in the 
originating or transiting country. APHIS uses the information on the 
certificate to determine the pest condition of the shipment at the time 
of inspection in the intensity of the inspection, APHIS conducts when 
the shipment arrives. Without this information, all shipments would 
need to be inspected very thoroughly, thereby requiring considerably 
more time. This would slow the clearance of international shipments.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 36.
