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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program change increase of +50 respondents, +3955 annual responses, and +386 total burden hours because APHIS is now merging the VS 10-6 and recordkeeping activities that were previously approved under information collection 0579-0342. There is an adjustment decrease of -16 respondents and -36 responses resulting in a decrease of -19 total burden hours. This decrease is due to the number of approval livestock facilities agreements dropping from 150 businesses to 138, and from 50 State signatories dropping to 46 from the previously approved collection.
