The purpose of this collection is to ensure that quarantine requirements for Asian citrus psyllid, a vector of the bacterial pathogen that causes citrus greening, are met.
There is a program change increase of 5 burden hours for this information collection, from 1,785 to 1,790. There is also a program change increase of 555 annual responses for this collection, from 13,882 to 14,437. The increases were due to the correction of two burden figures APHIS reported on incorrectly in the past: (1) the number of recordkeepers should have been previously reported as 569 instead of 15, which added 4 burden hours; and (2) Cancellation of Certificates, Permits, and Compliance Agreements should have been previously reported as 1 burden hour, instead of a fraction which, in turn, was automatically rounded down to 0.
