The purpose of this collection is to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of mangoes from India into the continental United States. The mangoes would have to undergo irradiation treatment and be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with additional declarations.
The reinstatement of this information collection resulted in a program change of +75 respondents, +93,719 total annual responses, and +1,710 total burden hours. APHIS is now accounting for the following burden entries that were not included in the previous information collection: Orchard Mutual Agreements, Irradiation Treatment Package Labeling, Treatment Certification, and Denial/Withdrawal of Facility Certification.
