Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Program Change: There is a program change of + 3,261 responses resulting in an increase of +996 total burden hours due to APHIS now accounting for the following burden: (1) Production Site Registration (Foreign Government); (2) Phytosanitary Certificates (Business); and (3) Phytosanitary Inspections (Business and Foreign Government). These burden items were erroneously omitted from the previous renewal and are now being reported as a violation. Adjustment: There is an adjustment of +2 respondents and +846,541 responses resulting in an increase of +1,115 burden hours. This increase is due an underestimated number of trapping activities that increased the number of burden hours. In addition, there were increases in shipments and box markings. Last, APHIS adjusted the time it took to prepare the Production Site Registration and the Phytosanitary Certificates.
