Short Statement:
This request for renewal is for 15,673 estimated responses and 3,286 estimated burden hours, reflecting a decrease of 7,305 estimate responses and a decrease of 5,032 hours of estimated burden from the previous request. The number of respondents increasing from 203 to 283. The changes are due to the fluctuations in commercial interstate movement of plant and plant products from Hawaii and the Territories into and though the Continental U.S. Additional changes are due to commercial and non-commercial airplane traffic and the manner in which approval is granted, resulting in less usage of certain forms and activities but an increase in activities with low hours/response values (i.e. labeling). Specific adjustments to Agency estimates include: •Limited Permit PPQ 530 with a decrease of 6,224 estimated responses and a decrease of 1,245 estimated burden hours. •Application for Permit to Transit Plants and/or Plant Products, Plant Pests, and/or Associated Soil through the U.S PPQ 586 with a decrease of 4,985 estimated responses and a decrease of 2,492 estimated burden hours. •Compliance Agreement PPQ 519 with a decrease of 515 estimated responses and a decrease of 644 estimated burden hours. •Written Request for Facility Approval and Recertification with a decrease of 1 estimated response and a decrease of 1 estimated burden hour. •Contingency Plans Approved by APHIS with a decrease of 9 estimated responses and a decrease of 36 estimated burden hours. •Facility Must Maintain and Provide APHIS with an Updated Map Identifying Places Where Horticultural or Other Crops Are Grown with a decrease of 9 estimated responses and a decrease of 4 estimated burden hours. •Labeling of Boxes for Pest Free Areas with a decrease of 5,169 estimated responses and a decrease of 6 estimated burden hours. •Production Site Registration with an increase of 5 estimated responses and an increase 2 estimated burden hours. •Packing House Registration with a decrease of 13 estimated responses and a decrease of 7 estimated burden hours. •Certificate PPQ 540 (State) with a decrease of 9 estimated responses and a decrease of 1 estimated burden hour. •Trapping/Surveillance (State) with a decrease of 449 estimated responses and a decrease of 71 estimated burden hours. •Inspection and Certification with a decrease of 2,670 estimated responses and a decrease of 2,670 estimated burden hours. Specific discretionary program changes include: •Certification PPQ 540 is a new activity for Business and adds 1 response and 1 burden hour. •Trapping/Surveillance is a new activity for Business and adds 26 responses and 5 burden hours. •Written Request to Appeal APHIS Decision is a new activity for Business and adds 1 response and 1 burden hour. •Recordkeeping added an additional 15 respondents, increased the per response time from 1 to 80 hours per response, and increased total annual estimated burden hours by 1,990. This results in 25 respondents with a total annual estimated burden of 2,000 hours. •Request for Aircraft Inspections Prior to Departure added 10 respondents, decreased the per response time from 1.0 to .06 hours per response, and increased total annual estimated burden hours by 48. This results in 30 respondents with a total annual estimated burden of 648 hours.
