The purpose of this collection is to verify whether types of peppers grown in approved registered production sites in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama can be imported into the United States without treatment.
Overall, the burden increased by 948 responses and 1,555 total burden hours due to program changes and adjustments â as such APHIS is now requesting 791,478 total burden hours and 4,554 responses. In addition, the number of respondents decreased by 209 respondents due to a previous miscalculation of the number of respondents; however, APHIS has added businesses as a new respondent group to this information collection.
