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 +1 respondent and +1 response resulting in an increase of +1 burden hour. This increase is due to APHIS now accounting for the Emergency Action Notifications (PPQ Form 523) which was erroneously left off previous collections and is counted as a violation.
There is an adjustment increase of +17 respondents and + 1,466 responses resulting in an increase of + 230 burden hours. The increase is due to additional respondents who submitted permits, certificates, compliance agreements, act as recordkeepers and labeling increases.
