Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Importation of French Beans and Runner Beans from the 
Republic of Kenya into the United States.
    OMB control number: 0579-0373.
    Summary of Collection: The Plant Protection Act (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. The 
regulations in ``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 
through 319 56-59), prohibit or restrict the importation of fruits and 
vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world to 
prevent the introduction and dissemination of plant pests that are new 
to or not widely distributed within the United States. The regulations 
allow the importation of French beans and runner beans from the 
Republic of Kenya into the United States. As a condition of entry, both 
commodities would have to be produced in accordance with a systems 
approach that would include requirements for packing, washing, and 
processing.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service will use the following activities to collect 
information: Phytosanitary Certificate, Registration of Packing Houses 
and Marking of Boxes. Use of these information collection activities 
would allow for the importation of French beans and runner beans from 
the Republic of Kenya into the United States while continuing the 
protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 3.
