To provide for the payment of
compensation to the owners of commercial stone fruit orchards and
fruit tree nurseries who had stone fruit trees or nursery stock
destroyed in order to control plum pox and to reduce the economic
impact of the plum pox quarantine on affected commercial stone
fruit growers and fruit tree nursery owners.
The total burden hours for this
collection remain at 1 hour. APHIS merged two plum pox collections
together (0159 and 0251); however, with the drop in respondents due
to the program coming to a close, and because of the decrease in
the 'hours per response' in 0251 from .50 to .16, there is no
change in burden hours for this collection.
