We have also adjusted the number of record keepers of fungicide applications to more accurately reflect the number of nurseries. In addition, we have reduced the number of record keepers for incoming and outgoing shipments of plants to reflect the number of host nurseries and farms that record shipments. All of these changes have led to changes in our burden estimates. For instance, we have increased the estimate of burden from 0.31 to 1.097 hours per response and increased the estimated total annual burden on respondents from 2,263 to 4,076 hours. We have also decreased the estimated annual number of responses and the estimated annual number of responses per respondent from 7,227 to 3,717 and 5.06 to 2.26, respectively. Lastly, we have increased the estimated annual number of respondents from 1,427 to 1,644, We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities for an additional 3 years.
