                DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
                Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
                April 15, 2020.
                 The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
                information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
                under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
                are requested regarding; 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; the
                accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
                the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
                utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
                minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
                to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
                electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
                other forms of information technology.
                 Comments regarding this information collection received by May 21,
                2020 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the
                proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of
                the publication of this notice on the following website
                www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information
                collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
                Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
                 An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
                unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
                control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
                respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
                required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
                a currently valid OMB control number.
                Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
                 Title: Phytosanitary Export Certification.
                 OMB Control Number: 0579-0052.
                 Summary of Collection: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
                Service (APHIS) is responsible for preventing plant diseases or insect
                pests from entering the United States, preventing the spread of pests
                and noxious weeds not widely distributed within the United States, and
                eradicating those imported pests when eradication is feasible. The
                Plant Protection Act authorizes USDA to carry out this mission. APHIS
                will collect information using several forms and other information
                activities.
                 Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will use the information
                collected to locate shipments, guide inspection, and issue a
                certificate to meet the requirements of the importing country. Failure
                to provide this information would have an impact on many U.S. exporters
                who would no longer be able to engage in the business of exporting
                plants and plant products overseas.
                 Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State,
                and Local or Tribal Government.
                 Number of Respondents: 9,102.
                 Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
                 Total Burden Hours: 412,986.
