    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding (1) 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) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by December 
24, 2018 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 
Building, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are 
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-
7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-
8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Contract Pilot and Aircraft Acceptance.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0298.
    Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et 
seq.) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, 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 noxious weeds that are new to or not widely distributed 
within the United States. This authority has been delegated to the 
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). 
APHIS carries out this program primarily by treating infested lands by 
aerial spraying of pesticides from aircraft.
    Need and Use of the Information: Contract Pilot and Aircraft 
Acceptance Form (PPQ-816) and SIT Pilot and Aircraft Cheek-In Sheet 
(PPQ Form 818) are used by the Plant Protection and Quarantine 
personnel who are involved with contracts for aerial application 
services for emergency pest outbreaks. The forms are used to document 
that the pilot and aircraft meet contract specifications. If APHIS did 
not collect this information or collected it less frequently, APHIS 
would not be able to verify if APHIS contracts for aerial application 
services met specifications.
    Description of Respondents: Businesses.
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 8.
