 From the proposal:

The completed permit application must contain the
following information:

(1) Name, address, and telephone number of the importer;

(2) approximate quantity and kinds (botanical designations) of articles 
intended to be imported;

(3) country or locality where grown;

(4) intended U.S. port of entry;

(5) means of transportation, e.g., mail, airmail, express, air express, 
freight, airfreight, or baggage; and

(6) expected date of arrival.

Let's go through two of these.

For the next five years?

 > (6) expected date of arrival.

You would know this for the next five years?

It seems to me they are intending each permit to cover one shipment.
