SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pale Cyst Nematode.
OMB Control Number: 05790322.
Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an information collection.
Abstract: 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.
In accordance with the regulations in Subpart S-Pale Cyst Nematode 7 CFR
301.86 through 301.869, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture restricts the interstate movement of certain articles to help prevent the spread of pale cyst nematode, a major pest of potato crops in cool-temperature areas, via potatoes, soil, and other host material to noninfested areas of the United States. The regulations involve information collection activities such as certificates, permits, appeals, compliance agreements, selfcertifications, packing facility process approvals, and labeling.
We are asking the Office of Management and Budget OMB to approve our use of these information collection activities, as described, for an additional 3 years.
