SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Papayas From Peru.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0410.
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 restrict the importation,
entry, or interstate 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 regulates
the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from
certain parts of the world as provided in ``Subpart--Fruits and
Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319.56-83).
In accordance with Sec. 319.56-25, papayas from Peru may be
imported into the continental United States under certain conditions to
prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States. These
conditions require the use of certain information collection activities
that include applications for permits; registration of growing sites;
inspections of crops, insect traps, and recordkeeping; submitting
notices of arrival to ports; and responding to emergency action
notifications. Also, each consignment of papayas must be accompanied by
a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection
organization (NPPO) of Peru containing an additional declaration
stating the papayas were grown, packed, and shipped in accordance with
Sec. 319.56-25. These actions allow the importation of papayas from
Peru while continuing to protect the United States against the
introduction of plant pests.
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 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 burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.53 hours per response.
Respondents: Growers and importers of papayas from Peru and the
NPPO of Peru.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 52.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 54.
Estimated annual number of responses: 2,804.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1,507 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 25th day of July 2018.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
