Short Statement:
This request for renewal is for 11,612 estimated responses and 4,358 estimated burden hours, increases of 9,086 responses and 4,146 hours from the previous submission. Approximately 66% of the changes are estimate adjustments. There is a significant change in the estimated number of respondents providing written statements, increasing from 2,000 to 3,000. Discretionary program changes include the Certificate of Origin activity which had its estimated time per response increased from 5 minutes to 30 minutes to more accurately reflect processing time. This change, accompanied by an estimate adjustment of 3,400 additional responses, resulted in an increase of 1,741 burden hours. Adjustments to Agency estimates include the number of issued phytosanitary certificates increasing by 4,890 estimated responses resulting in 2,444 hours of additional estimated burden. The estimated number of written statement responses was also increased by 1,000 but the resulting burden change was only 17 additional hours. Finally, the number of estimated compliance agreements was adjusted from 105 to 1, resulting in a decrease of 52 burden hours. The increases in the estimated responses, estimated burden hours, and discretionary adjustments are attributed to market changes and the industry shift away from agreements to certificates, as well as an increase in written statements from respondents.
