There is a program change increase +1,080 responses resulting in an increase of +1,810 burden hours. This increase is due to more businesses reporting. The increase is due to APHIS now accounting for follow burden: 1. Phytosanitary Certificates (Foreign Gov’t) 2. Registration of Production Site (Foreign Gov’t) 3. Monitoring and Oversight of Packinghouses (Business) 4. Fruit Fly Trapping (Business) 5. Post-Harvest Inspection (Foreign Gov’t and Business) There is an adjustment decrease of -4 business respondents and an increase of +76 responses resulting in an increase of +60 burden hours. The increase of responses is due to increase number of shipping document; however, APHIS has adjusted the time from 1 hour per response to .5 hours per response. The increase in burden is due to APHIS adjusting the time to complete the Phytosanitary Certificates and the Operational Workplan.
