In this submission, the number of respondents has decreased from 34 to 10 because 30 recordkeepers were erroneously counted as businesses instead of the 4 foreign officials (NPPOs) from the 4 countries that are required to maintain records for the importation of tomatoes (Chile, France, Morocco, and Spain). Also, there are only 6 businesses who import tomatoes into the United States which brings the corrected adjusted number of respondents to 10 total respondents. This change also resulted in an adjustment of -26 annual responses and -480 recordkeeping hours because of the overcounting of recordkeepers mentioned above. There is a program change of +11 annual responses and +126 total burden hours because the following activities have been added to the collection: greenhouse registrations for Spain, Morocco, and France; treatment facility registration for Chile; a trust fund agreement for Chile; production site registration for Chile; and a quality control program to monitor or audit the trapping program. These activities were erroneously omitted from the previous submission and therefore the collection of data for these activities during the past 3 years has been in violation and is being accounted for as a program change in this submission. These increases in annual responses and burden hours have been offset by the reduction of recordkeepers and recordkeeping hours.
