Previously, the total amount of respondents was 400; this included all citrus applicants. Currently, there are 25 respondents which includes only untreated citrus applicants. The current burden hours are now much more accurate (previously PPQ reported 200 hours, and this year PPQ is reporting 13 hours for this collection).
