The purpose of this collection is to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the import of fresh jackfruit, pineapple, and starfruit from Malaysia into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, these commodities will have to be irradiated for insect pests, inspected, and imported in commercial consignments.
The number of respondents increased from 1 to 86, the number of annual responses doubled from 85 to 170, and the number of burden hours doubled from 85 to 170 hours. The reason for the increase was that one line item was inadvertently left out of the previous collection. Businesses that need phytosanitary certificates have now been added to this collection causing annual responses to increase to 170, and burden hours to increase to 170 hours.
