Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is program change to the information collection of 1,500 responses and 375 hours. The respondents increased by 125 thus increasing the responses and then the total burden hours. This occurred based on comments submitted by stakeholders to the proposed rule provisions. As a result, APHIS updated the language in the final rule to address the perceived high burden placed on facilities like stationary zoos that use regulated animals in their education and outreach programs, especially when the animals are used locally and do not spend the night away from the home facility. APHIS amended the response requirements for these day trips. APHIS has also amended the previous respondent numbers for itineraries to account for stationary facilities that do send outreach animals out on overnight trips.
