OMB Control Number: 05790298.
Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act 7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq. authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, either independently or in cooperation with States, to carry out operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests and noxious weeds that are new to or not widely distributed within the United States. This authority has been delegated to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service APHIS.
As part of this mission, APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine PPQ
program responds to introductions of plant pests with eradication, suppression, or containment through various programs in cooperation with State departments of agriculture and other government agencies. These programs may include the aerial application of treatments to control plant pests.
APHIS contracts for these services, and prior to any aerial applications, requests certain information from the

Among other things, APHIS asks to see the aircraft registration, the aircrafts airworthiness certificate, the pilots license, the pilots medical certification, the pilots proof of flight review, the pilots pesticide applicators license, and the aircraft logbook. Information from these documents and aircraft inspection results are consolidated by APHIS for signature by the APHIS

We are asking the Office of Management and Budget OMB to approve our use of these information collection activities for an additional 3

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 0.27 hours per response.
Respondents: Contractors and/or contract pilots of aircraft.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 30.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of responses: 30.
