Short Statement: APHIS is seeking approval of a revision of a currently approved information collection request. The currently approved burden for this request is 283 total annual respondents, 15,673 total annual responses and 3,286 total annual burden hours. This request for renewal and revision is for 73 respondents, 21,950 estimated responses and 3,304 estimated burden hours. This request reflects a decrease of -210 respondents; however, there is an increase of +6,277 estimated responses and an increase of +18 hours of estimated burden from the previous renewal request. There are 1,920 third-party disclosure burden estimates. Program Change(s) in estimate due to Agency discretion include: There is a program changes decrease of -210 respondents and -687 responses resulting in a decrease of -407 burden hours with the removal of PPQ Forms 519, 530, 540, and 586 moving to a new PPQ Permit common forms information collection. Change(s) in estimate due to adjustments in estimate include: There is an adjustment increase of +6,964 responses resulting in an increase of +425 total burden hours • The renewal 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 more usage of certain forms and activities and an increase in activities values (i.e. labeling).
