Short Statement: There is an increase of 58,515 hours in the total estimated respondent burden hours compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's updating of the burden estimate to account for an increase in the estimated average number of tolerance petitions submitted annually from 103 to 137, which resulted in a change to the annual burden hours for respondents from 178,285 in the previous renewal to 236,800 in the current renewal. This change is an adjustment.
