The purpose of this collection is to
enforce restrictions on the interstate movement of nursery stock
from nurseries in nonquarantined areas in California, Oregon, and
Washington State, and regulated areas from California, Oregon, and
Washington State.
There is an overall program
change decrease of -100 respondents and an increase of +499
responses resulting in an increase of 23 burden hours. • There is a
program change increase of + 5 respondents and +594 responses with
an increase of +154 burden hours due to APHIS now accounting for
burden of: (1) Complicate Agreement (states), (2) Annual
Inspections, (3) Sampling labels, (4) Annual certification of
nurseries/Recordkeeping, (5) Emergency Action Notification
(PPQ-523), and (6) Notification of High Risk P. ramorum genera.
These burden items were erroneously omitted from the previous
renewal and are now being reported as a violation. • The Federal
Order DA-2013-27, Domestic Quarantine, Phytophthora ramorum, issued
on July 3, 2013, removed regulatory requirements for all non-host
nurseries located in regulated areas, resulting in a program change
decrease of -105 respondents, -105 responses, and -131 burden
hours. There is an adjustment decrease of -1,376 respondents and
-2,823 responses resulting in a decrease of -1,956 burden hours.
The decrease is due to the number of respondents dropping out of
the program.
