Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program change decrease of -4,485 respondents; however, there is an increase of +3,321 responses resulting in an increase of + 2,267 burden hours. The changes to this collection is due to APHIS now accounting for the following burden items: (1) Phytosanitary Certificate (Foreign Government), (2) Grower Registration and Agreement (Foreign Government), (3) Management Program for Mediterranean Fruit Fly; Monitoring (Foreign Government), (5) Certification of Treatment Facilities (Business), (6) Workplan (Foreign Government), (7) Advance Reservations for Cold Treatment Port Space (Foreign Government) and (8) Emergency Action Notification (Business). This burden was erroneously left off of the previous collection and APHIS is reporting as a violation. The number of respondents for the Foreign Government was corrected lowering the number from 3000 to 1.
