SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Importation of Avocados From Continental Spain.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0400.
    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, 
entry, or interstate movement of plants, plant products, and other 
articles to prevent the introduction of plant pests, including fruit 
flies, into the United States or their dissemination within the United 
States. Regulations authorized by the PPA concerning the importation of 
fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the 
world are contained in ``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 
319.56-1 through 319.56-76).
    In accordance with Sec.  319.56-64, fresh avocados from continental 
Spain are subject to certain conditions before entering the United 
States to ensure that certain quarantine plant pests are not introduced 
into the United States. The regulations require the use of information 
collection activities, including an operational workplan, trust fund 
agreement, production site and packinghouse registration, agreements, 
box labeling and shipping documents, a phytosanitary certificate, and 
recordkeeping.
    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:

[[Page 5529]]

    (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: Growers and importers of avocados from continental 
Spain and the national plant protection organization of Spain.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 28.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 517.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 14,484.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 484 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.
