whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

other forms of information technology should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), [email protected] or 
fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Comments regarding these

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB

respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0173.
    Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701-
7772) 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 pest in the 
United States. The regulations in ``Subpart-Citrus Fruit'' (7 CFR 
319.28) allow the importation of unshu oranges from Kyushu Island and 
Honshu Island, Japan, into the United States under certain conditions. 
A certificate must accompany the unshu oranges from the Japanese plant 
protection service certifying that the fruit is apparently free of 
citrus canker.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection (APHIS) will collect information using form PPQ 203, Foreign 
Site Certificate of Inspection and/or Treatment, PPQ 587, Application 
for Permit to Import Plants or Plant Products and box labeling. The 
information from the forms will be used to certify that unshu oranges 
from Japan are free of citrus canker and to also ensure that the 
oranges are not imported into citrus-producing areas of the United 
States such as Florida and California. Failing to collect this 
information would cripple APHIS' ability to ensure that Unshu oranges 
from Japan are not carrying citrus canker.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 23.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,535.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus Psylid; Quarantine and 
Interstate Movement Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0363.
    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 the States, to carry out operations or measures to 
detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of 
plant pests (such as citrus canker) new or widely distributed 
throughout the United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) amended the ``Domestic Quarantine Notices'' in 7 CFR 
part 301 by adding a new subpart, ``Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus 
Psylid (ACP)'' (Sec. Sec.  301.76 through 301.76-11). Citrus greening, 
also known as Huanglonghing disease of citrus, is considered to be one 
of the most serious citrus diseases in the world.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
using various forms to address the risk associated with the interstate 
movement of citrus nursery stock and other regulated articles from 
areas quarantined for citrus greening. Failing to collect this 
information could cause a severe economic loss to the citrus industry.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 116.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 504.
