estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;

clarity of the information to be

summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will

between APHIS and the plant protection
service of the country where the plants
are grown, and an agreement between
the foreign plant protection service and
the grower.
