Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Location of Irradiation Treatment Facilities in the United 
States.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0383.
    Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture 
(USDA) is responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect pests 
from entering into the United States, preventing the spread of pests 
and noxious weeds not widely distributed into the United States, and 
eradicating those imported pests when eradication is feasible. The 
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701--et seq.) authorizes USDA to carry 
out this mission. Under the Plant Protection Act, the Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is authorized, among other things, to 
regulate the importation of plants, plant products, and other articles 
to prevent the introduction of plant pests in the United States.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use the following 
information collection activities to provide criteria for the approval/
certification of irradiation treatment facilities in an effort to 
prevent the introduction or spread of plant pests and plant diseases in 
the United States: Request for Initial Certification and Inspection of 
Facility; Certification and Recertification of Facility; Denial and 
Withdrawal of Certification; Compliance Agreement; Irradiation 
Facilities Treating Imported Articles; Irradiation Treatment Framework 
Equivalency Work plan; Irradiation Facilities Notification; 
Recordkeeping; Facility to Maintain and Provide Updated Map Identifying 
Places Horticultural/Crops are Grown; Facility Contingency Plan; Letter 
of Concurrence or Non-Agreement; Treatment Arrangements; Pest 
Management Plan; and Facility Map--Detailed Layout of Facility. If the 
information is not collected, APHIS would have no practical way of 
determining that any given commodity had actually been irradiated.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profits; Federal 
Government; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 24.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
