Short Statement:
This request for renewal is for 162,401 estimated responses and 15,433 estimated burden hours, reflecting increases of 184 estimated responses and 179 hours of estimated burden from the previous renewal request. The number of respondents remains the same at 1,097. Adjustments to the Agency estimates resulted in a increase of 184 estimated responses and 184 estimated burden hours, mainly attributed to a increase in the number of Applications for Protected Plant Permit to Engage in the Business of Importing, Exporting, or Re-exporting Terrestrial Plants. Discretionary program changes for the activity of Marking and Notification Requirements reflect a decrease of 5 hours due to a calculation error in the previous submission.
