US Code:
7 USC
353 Name of Law: Plant Protection Act
Program Change: There is a
program change of - 4 responses and -1 burden hour due to the
elimination of buden for Notification of Change in Personnel
(State) which was removed from this information collection.
Adjustment: There is an adjustment of +1 response and +11 burden
hours. This increase is due to the increase in time to complete the
Application of Accredidation (which went from .17 to 2 hours), and
also the addition of an entry for burden for the Application for
Accredidation (business) which was inadvertently omitted in the
last renewal package.but Entry Errors in the Previous Renewal: (1)
The burden entry for Report Changes in Location, Ownership,
Physical Plant Equipment or Other Countries was show as burden for
States in the last renewal, when it actually should have been
burden on Businesses, which has been adjusted in this renewal. (2)
The burden entry for Documentation of Corrective Action was shown
as burden for States in the last renewal, when it actually should
have been burden on Businesses, and that change has been made also.
(3) The burden entries for Quality Manual or Equivalent
Documentation (Businesses and States) were inadvertently switched
in the last renewal, and now the burden figures shown for each
entry are correct. There are 30 hours of burden for Businesses, and
1 hour of burden for States.
