SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus Psyllid; Quarantine and 
Interstate Movement Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0363.
    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 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 
either independently or in cooperation with States, to carry out 
operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, 
prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests and diseases that are new 
to or not widely distributed within the United States. Under the PPA, 
the Secretary may also issue regulations requiring plants and plant 
products moved in interstate commerce to be subject to remedial 
measures determined necessary to prevent the spread of the pest or 
disease, or requiring the objects to be accompanied by a permit prior 
to movement. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) administers the regulations to implement the PPA.
    Citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing disease of citrus, is 
considered to be one of the most serious citrus diseases in the world. 
Citrus greening is a bacterial disease that attacks the vascular system 
of host plants. This bacterial pathogen can be transmitted by grafting 
and, under laboratory conditions, by parasitic plants. The pathogen can 
also be transmitted by two insect vectors in the family Psyllidae, one 
of which is Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). 
ACP can also cause economic damage to citrus in groves and nurseries by 
direct feeding. Both adults and nymphs feed on young foliage, depleting 
the sap and causing galling or curling of leaves. High populations 
feeding on a citrus shoot can kill the growing tip.
    Under the regulations in ``Subpart--Citrus Greening and Asian 
Citrus Psyllid'' (7 CFR 301.76 through 301.76-11), APHIS restricts the 
interstate movement of regulated articles from quarantined areas to 
control the artificial spread of citrus greening and ACP to noninfested 
areas of the United States. The regulations contain requirements that 
involve information collection activities including a compliance 
agreement, limited permit, Federal certificate, recordkeeping, labeling 
statement, the application of a tag to the consignee's waybill, 72-hour 
inspection notification, cancellation of certificates, permits, 
compliance agreements, and emergency action notification.
    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 0.127 hours per response.
    Respondents: Commercial nurseries/operations in the United States 
or U.S.

    Estimated annual number of respondents: 635.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 25.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 15,904.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 2,013 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

    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.
