The purpose of this collection is
prevent the spread of the pale cyst nematode via potatoes, soil,
and other host material to noninfested areas of the United
States.
There is a program change of +7
hours and +2 responses due to adding self-certification to this
information collection. This self-certification was not previously
approved because it was overlooked and it not a common option.
There is an adjustment resulting in a total increase of +40 hours
and + 197 responses for PPQ 540 and 530 due to the current business
environment and the status of PCN in the United States. The burden
figures for Compliance Agreements (PPQ 519) stayed the same.
