Justification of Change
Application for Plant Variety Protection Certificate
and Objective Description of Variety
OMB No. 0581-0055
June 2018
The Plant Variety Protection Office (PVPO) information collection burden changes as new applications are received in the office. PVPO is expected to add five new crops requesting a Certificate of Protection. These new crops are listed below and need to be added to the Objective Description of Variety and will use the same ST470 form that is currently approved. AMS is requesting the burden for these five new crops be added to the currently approved collection. This information is needed in order to ensure that sufficient information is collected for the examination of a new seed variety.
