other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by March 
13, 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

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Phytosanitary Export Certification.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0052.
    Summary of Collection: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) is responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect 
pests from entering the United States, preventing the spread of pests 
and noxious weeds not widely distributed within the United States, and 
eradicating those imported pests when eradication is feasible. The 
Plant Protection Act authorizes USDA to carry out this mission. APHIS 
will collect information using several forms and other information 
activities.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use the information 
collected to locate shipments, guide inspection, and issue a 
certificate to meet the requirements of the importing country. Failure 
to provide this information would have an impact on many U.S. exporters 
who would no longer be able to engage in the business of exporting 
plants and plant products overseas.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
and Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 9,101.
