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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment of -4 respondents and -28 responses resulting in a decrease of -28 total burden hours. This submission corrects a typo on the previous submission spreadsheet in the number of respondents from 15 to 5 for the Health Certificate (Foreign Government). With this correction, this revised submission reflects a decrease of -4 (Mexico) respondents from 5 to 1. However, the number of times each respondent responded increased from 10 times to 122 times because APHIS is importing more poultry from Mexico. The figures for the VS 17-29, VS 17-30, and VS 17-129 remain unchanged.
