Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: Federal Plant Pest and Noxious Weed Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0054.
    Summary of Collection: In accordance with section 412 of the Plant 
Protection Act (Title IV, Pub L. 106-224, 114 Stat. 438, 7 U.S.C. 
7712), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or 
restrict the importation, entry, exportation, or interstate movement of 
plants, plant products, biological control organisms, noxious weeds, 
soil, regulated garbage, or means of conveyance, if the Secretary 
determines that the prohibition or restriction is necessary to prevent 
the dissemination of plant pests or disease within the United States. 
The associated regulations that were issued by the Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are located in 7 CFR parts 330 and 
360. The introduction and establishment of new plant pests or noxious 
weeds in the United States could result in severe physical and economic 
losses to American agriculture. To prevent this from happening, APHIS 
will use information collection activities in these regulations.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use information 
collection activities in these regulations to evaluate and mitigate the 
risks associated with the import or interstate movement of plant pests, 
noxious weeds, soil, prohibited articles, and regulated garbage. These 
activities include applications for permits and compliance agreements, 
amendments and appeals, consultations, site assessments, inspections, 
certifications, labeling of containers, petitions and recordkeeping.

Business or Other For-Profit; Individuals or Households.
    Number of Respondents: 4,764.
