SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Importation of Clementines From Spain.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0203.
    Type of Request: Revision to and 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 prohibit or restrict the 
importation, entry, exportation, 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 319.56-82).
    In accordance with Sec.  319.56-34, clementines from Spain are 
subject to certain conditions before entering the United States to 
ensure that exotic plant pests, such as Mediterranean fruit fly, are 
not introduced into the United States. The regulations require the use 
of information collection activities, including trapping and control 
records, phytosanitary certificates, labeling, cold treatment data for 
consignments, trust fund agreements, grower registrations and 
agreements, Mediterranean fruit fly management program, cold treatment 
facility/carrier certifications, workplans, advance reservations for 
cold treatment port space, and emergency action notifications.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve 
our use of these information collection activities, as described, 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 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 burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 0.0045 hours per response.
    Respondents: Growers, shippers, treatment facility officials, and 
the national plant protection organization of Spain.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 23.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 85,315
    Estimated annual number of responses: 1,962,240.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 8,774 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, on April 17, 2018.
