Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of respondents decreased from 1,129 to 110 and the annual responses decreased from 12,542 to 4,200. These decreases are due to the downturn in the economy and the removal of twelve collection activities from this submission. The burden for these activities are accounted for in collections 0281, Treatments of Fruits and Vegetables, and 0346, Revision of the Hawaiian and Territorial Fruits and Vegetables Regulations. These two factors (the downturn in economy and the transfer of the 12 activities to the other two collections) accounted for these reductions. However, the burden hours increased by 2,108 hours due to a very low projection in the number of responses per shipment in the last submission. The updated burden figures are based on conversations with the PPQ Program Specialist and discussions with tropical growers in the United States.
