SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Importation of Fresh Apricots From Continental Spain. OMB Control Number: 0579-0402. 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. 319.56-63, fresh apricots 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, 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: (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 2.55 hours per response. Respondents: Growers and importers of apricots from continental Spain and the national plant protection organization of Spain. Estimated annual number of respondents: 22. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 4. Estimated annual number of responses: 84. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 214 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 [[Page 5530]] for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record. Done in Washington, DC, this 11th day of January 2017. Kevin Shea, Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. [FR Doc. 2017-01014 Filed 1-17-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410-34-P
