    Title: Importation of Fresh Peppers from Peru Into the Continental 
United States and the Territories.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0434.
    Summary of Collection: 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. 
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 319.56-83).
    Need and Use of the Information: The regulations in Sec.  
[thinsp]319.56-73 allow the importation of fresh peppers into the 
continental United States and the Territories from Peru. As a condition 
of entry, the peppers must be produced in accordance with a systems 
approach that includes requirements for operational workplans, quality 
control programs, fruit fly trapping, pre-harvest production site 
inspections, production site and packinghouse registration, emergency 
action notifications, notices of arrival for imports, and packinghouse 
procedures designed to exclude quarantine pests. The peppers are also 
required to be imported in commercial consignments and accompanied by a 
phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection 
organization (NPPO) of Peru with an additional declaration stating that 
the consignment was produced in accordance with the systems approach 
outlined in the regulations. These actions allow for the importation of 
fresh peppers from Peru while continuing to provide protection against
