Two program changes occurred
involving Hawaii, their Export Sales survey was discontinued and
their shorter questionnaire was merged into the standard state
questionnaire causing a small increase in burden for Hawaii. There
is an adjustment to the target population; it decreased from the
previous approval due to changes within the floriculture industry.
In addition there was an error in the previous submission, the
publicity materials were not mailed out as a pre-survey mailing but
were included with the questionnaires that were mailed out.
