Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: APHIS estimated a high level of initial participation for the first years of this activity at 60 respondents and 60 annual responses per year. However, participation has declined to 25 respondents resulting in an adjustment of 50 annual responses per year. Also, the recordkeeping amounts in the last submission were not accurately reported. The APHIS 71 stated that there was 1 recordkeeper who completed recordkeeping tasks and that it took 30 hours to file the records. This has been modified in this submission to show that it takes 15 minutes reflecting a total of 6 hours for recordkeeping. These changes have resulted in an adjusted decrease of -59 total burden hours for this submission.
