SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Movement of Plants and Plant Products From Hawaii and the Territories.
OMB Control Number: 05790346.
Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act PPA, 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. This authority has been delegated to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service APHIS, which administers regulations to implement the PPA.
In 7 CFR part 318, under the regulations in Subpart ARegulated Articles from Hawaii and the Territories 318.131 through 318.1317, APHIS prohibits or restricts the interstate movement of fruits and vegetables into the continental United States from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to prevent plant pests and noxious weeds from being introduced into and spread within the continental United States.
The regulations contain requirements for a performance-based process for approving the interstate movement of commodities that, based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, can be safely imported subject to one or more designated phytosanitary measures and for acknowledging pest-free areas. These requirements involve information collection activities, including limited permits, inspections to issue limited permits, inspections of production areas, transit permits, compliance agreements, inspection and certification, labeling for fruits and vegetables produced in pest free areas, written requests for facility approvals, trapping

and surveillance, and recordkeeping. In addition, the activities of packaging, marking, identification, and certification of sweet potatoes from Hawaii are also included.
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.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public as well as affected agencies concerning our information collection. These comments will help us:
1 Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
2 Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
3 Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4 Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.21 hours per response.
Respondents: Wholesalers and producers of fruits and vegetables;
growers, shippers, and exporters in Hawaii, U.S. Territories, and State plant regulatory officials; and irradiation facility personnel.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 283.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 55.
Estimated annual number of responses: 15,673.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 3,286 hours. Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of May 2021.
Mark Davidson, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
