The above revision combining Form 5 and 6 to the APC Form 2 brings these forms together for reporting the month, origin, pounds and varieties of pecans purchased outside of the United States, with another form that collects the date and pounds of inshell pecans and shelled meats exchanged between Mexico.

The change to the APC-4 form is the title and reducing the requirement to submit monthly to annually. The form number would change to “APC Form 4.”

Year-End Inventory Report

Form 7

No Change to title name

APC Form 5

No Change

No Change


The above revision for Form-7 is renumbered to APC Form 5 to keep forms in numerical sequence. All references to “crop” year on the form would be changed to “fiscal” year.


Each form should be numbered according to “APC Form 1,” “APC Form 2,” and so forth throughout all regulations and documents, instead of “Form 1” or “APC 1.” No changes were necessary to the “APC Form 3” or to the nine ballot, nomination, or referendum forms with “SC” identifiers also contained in OMB No. 0581-0291.


The overall burden for this approved 0581-0291 collection would increase by +305 hours from 2,931 burden hours to 3,236 burden hours; and responses would decrease from 9,344 to 8,654 responses due to the modifications described above.
