Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

    Title: South American Cactus Moth; Quarantine and Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 0579-0337.
    Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 
7701-- et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit 
or restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant 
pests to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States 
or their dissemination within the United States. The Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amended the domestic quarantined 
regulations to establish regulations to restrict the interstate 
movement of South American cactus moth host material including nursery 
stock and plant pests for consumption, from infested areas of the 
United States. This action helps to prevent the artificial spread of 
South American cactus moth into non-infested areas of the United 
States.
    Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information 
using Certificate (PPQ 540) and Compliance Agreement (PPQ 519). The 
certificate is used for domestic movement of treated articles relating 
to quarantines. Certificates are issued for regulated articles when an 
inspector or other person authorized to issue certificates finds that 
the articles have met the conditions of the regulations and may be 
safely moved interstate without further restrictions. The Compliance 
agreements are provided for the convenience of persons who are involved 
in the growing, handling, or moving of regulated articles from 
quarantined areas. Without this information, APHIS could not provide an 
effective domestic quarantine program to prevent the artificial spread 
of the South American cactus moth within the United States.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 10.
