The purpose of this collection is to verify that pink and red tomatoes were grown in approved registered production sites in Costa Rica, El Salavdor, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama and that they meet the requirements necessary to be imported into the United States without treatment.
There is an increase in the number of respondents from 24 to 40. This increase resulted in an adjustment of +57 burden hours due to the number of annual responses increasing for the phytosanitary certificates processed, the monitoring/auditing of the trapping program, and the number of recordkeepers. However, this is offset by a miscalculation for the number of responses per respondent for the labeling of boxes in the last submission  the responses per respondent were calculated much too high resulting in a decrease from 103,241 to 700 annual responses for this activity, thereby showing a decrease in the number of annual responses and causing a net effect of  101,848 annual responses.
