In this renewal, the number of
respondents stayed the same at 11, the annual responses increased
from 768 to 3,009, and the burden hours increased from 786 to
3,009. The demand for imported pork and pork products has increased
since the last renewal and thus the number of certificates issued
by foreign veterinarians has increased. As a result, there is an
adjustment increase of 2,241 responses resulting in an increase of
2,241 burden hours.
