Short Statement: There has been an adjustment in all figures for this collection. The total burden hours decreased from 106,000 to 1,399 (a difference of 104,601) due to an overestimate of the number of respondents and the number of responses. The total number of respondents dropped from 106 to 53 (a difference of 53) because the respondents were inadvertently counted twice 3 years ago. The annual responses dropped from 1,325 to 17 (a difference of 1,308) because there was an overestimate of the number of respondents and the number of responses when the program first started. PPQ originally overestimated all figures. The new figures in this collection are now much more accurate. As previously mentioned, PPQ changed the name of this collection from the Official Control Program to the Federally Recognized State Managed Phytosanitary Program because after consultations with trading partners, APHIS decided trading partners would better understand this collection if the title reflected the Federally Recognized State Managed Phytosanitary Program. To try and avoid any confusion, please note this does not mean that the term "official control" will never be used again.
