The purpose of this collection is to
verify whether types of peppers grown in approved registered
production sites in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua, and Panama can be imported into the United States
without treatment.
Overall, the burden increased
by 948 responses and 1,555 total burden hours due to program
changes and adjustments – as such APHIS is now requesting 791,478
total burden hours and 4,554 responses. In addition, the number of
respondents decreased by 209 respondents due to a previous
miscalculation of the number of respondents; however, APHIS has
added businesses as a new respondent group to this information
collection. See question 15 of the supporting statement for more
information/details.
