Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Importation of Longan from Taiwan.
OMB Control Number: 0579-0351.
Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C.
7701), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to carry out
operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control,
prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests new to the United States
or not known to be widely distributed throughout the United States. The
fruits and vegetables regulations allow the importation of commercial
shipments of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United
States. As a condition of entry, the longan will be subject to cold
treatment and special port-of-arrival inspection procedures for certain
quarantine pests.
Need and use of the Information: APHIS will use the following
information collection activities to allow the import of commercial
shipment of fresh longan with stems from Taiwan into the United States:
Phytosanitary Certificate, Inspection by NPPOs in Taiwan and Stamping
of Boxes. Failing to collect this information would cripple APHIS
ability to ensure that longan from Taiwan are not carrying plant pests.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profits; Federal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 22.
