The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is seeking to reinstate an information collection process related to the interstate movement of certain nursery plants to prevent the spread of citrus diseases like citrus canker and citrus greening. This notice invites public comments by April 13, 2021, about the necessity and effectiveness of these information collection activities. The collected data will focus on regulated nursery stock from quarantined areas, ensuring they meet specific labeling and inspection requirements. APHIS estimates that the information collection could involve around 1,901 respondents and result in approximately 2.4 million total annual burden hours.
Simple Explanation
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service wants to keep track of certain plants that might carry diseases when they're moved from one state to another. They are asking people to help by sharing information about these plants, but they want to make sure it doesn't take too much time for everyone involved.
