SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Importation of Fresh Beans, Shelled or in Pods, From Jordan

    OMB Control Number: 0579-0405.
    Type of Request: 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,

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 (APHIS) 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 319.56-62 provides the requirements for the importation of 
fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), shelled or in pods (French, green, 
snap, and string) from Jordan into the continental United States. These 
commodities may be imported into the United States under certain 
conditions to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United 
States. The regulations require information collection activities, 
including packinghouse registration, box labeling, and a phytosanitary 
certificate attesting that the conditions in Sec.  319.56-62 have been 
met and that each consignment has been inspected and found free the 
pests listed in that section.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities 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 0.78 hours per response.
    Respondents: Importers of fresh beans, shelled or in pods, from 
Jordan and the national plant protection organization of Jordan.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 6.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 7.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 40.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 31 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 11th day of January 2017.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
