Previous burden hours totaled 25,936. There is an adjustment of -25,649 burden hours and -2,181,692 annual responses for the following reasons: the only country currently shipping tomatoes is Guatemala; the countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama are presently not shipping tomatoes because transportation/fuel costs have gone up as well as production costs in these countries. These reasons are why Guatemala is currently the only country shipping tomatoes and accounts for the decrease of 7,537 hours. Also, the pre-harvest inspections were inadvertently included in the last approval process which accounted for 18,112 hours in the previous submission. There was no paperwork associated with the inspections.
