The purpose of this collection is to
permit owners of commercial stone fruit orchards and owners of
fruit tree nurseries to receive compensation under certain
circumstances.
There is a program change
increase of +2500 respondents and an increase of +2500 responses
resulting in an increase of +83 total burden hours. The PPQ Form
523 is currently covered under information collection 0579-0088,
but Plum Pox is not one of the diseases listed under that
collection; therefore, the form is being moved to 0579-0159. There
is an adjustment increase of +2 respondents and increase of +2
responses resulting in an increase of +1 total burden hours due to
an increase in Plum Pox Compensation applications.
