The purpose of this collection is to
prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases in the United
States. This collection simplifies and expedites the processes for
approving certain regulated articles for interstaste movement to
pest-free areas.
This request for renewal is for
15,673 estimated responses and 3,286 estimated burden hours,
reflecting a decrease of 7,305 estimate responses and a decrease of
5,032 hours of estimated burden from the previous request. The
number of respondents increasing from 203 to 283. The changes are
due to the fluctuations in commercial interstate movement of plant
and plant products from Hawaii and the Territories into and though
the Continental U.S. Additional changes are due to commercial and
non-commercial airplane traffic and the manner in which approval is
granted, resulting in less usage of certain forms and activities
but an increase in activities with low hours/response values (i.e.
labeling). Specific adjustments to Agency estimates include:
•Limited Permit PPQ 530 with a decrease of 6,224 estimated
responses and a decrease of 1,245 estimated burden hours.
•Application for Permit to Transit Plants and/or Plant Products,
Plant Pests, and/or Associated Soil through the U.S PPQ 586 with a
