Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been no change in the number of respondents since the previous collection. The current and previous numbers are 4,508. Although the number of respondents did not change, the burden hours were affected by the current number of responses per respondent for labeling. It was previously 1,954,400 responses per respondent but that figure has been reduced to 244,300 responses per respondent. The annual number of responses was reduced from 15,639,710 to 1,958,919 because of economic conditions resulting in fewer certificates being requested for clementine shipments. This left an adjustment decrease of 13,680,800 annual responses. This change decreased the total burden hours from 13,927 to 6,428 which is an adjustment (decrease) of 7,504 burden hours. Additionally, trust fund and grower registration activities were inadvertently omitted in the previous submission. These activities have been included in this submission, thereby adding a program change of 9 annual responses and 5 burden hours to the current renewal for 2012.
