The purpose of this collection is to
implement regulations that are necessary to prevent injurious
inspect pests and plant diseases from entering the United
States.
There is a program change
increase of +1 response resulting in an increase of +1 burden
hours. This increase is due to APHIS now accounting for the
Emergency Action Notification (PPQ Form 523), which was erroneously
omitted from the previous collection. There an adjustment increase
of +200 responses resulting in an increase of +83 burden hours.
This increase is due to APHIS adjusting the calculation time to
complete phytosanitary certificates. There was also a
miscalculation on the number of respondents which decreased the
number from 2131 to 2127.
