This collection of information is necessary to conduct surveys to detect and measure the presence of exotic plant pests and weeds and to input survey data into a national computer-based system known as the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS).
Since the previous renewal, there is a program change increase of 54 responses (from 14,580 in the last submission to 14,634 in this renewal) and 54 burden hours (from 3,465 to 3,519) because the SF LLL was previously covered under collection 4040-0013, but now each agency has to account for this burden. The number of respondents did not change.
