The purpose of this collection is to allow untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico to be moved overland by truck or rail to Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas, for export to another country by water. This action will provide additional protection against the possible introduction of fruit flies via untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico that transit the United States.
In this renewal, the number of respondents dropped from 25 to 3 due to more accurate Agency estimates. However, the number of responses increased from 25 to 39 totaling an adjustment of +14 responses, and the number of burden hours increased from 13 to 26 totaling an adjustment of +13 hours. These increases are due to burden information being inadvertently omitted in the previous submission for notices of arrival, inspections, and transportation and export permits. In addition, in the previous renewal package, businesses were split into two IC's which was a user error but now has been corrected.
