To carry out the mission of
safeguarding the U.S. animal population, USDA requests information
from various labs so that they obtain supplies, reagents, and
training from USDA.
Since the last submission,
there is an increase of 2,299 responses and 531 burden hours
attributed to estimate adjustments and the addition of a new
activity, “NVSL Laboratories Kit and Instrument Order Form. The
estimated time per response for “NVSL Customer Contact Update (VS
Form 4-10)” was increased from 0.1 hours to 1.0 hours. However, the
program has received few responses in the last 3 years and the
estimates have been reduced to placeholder values of 1 respondent,
1 response, 1 hour for each respondent type. This change resulted
in a decrease of 55 responses and 4 hours of burden. This request
for renewal includes a new activity, NVSL Laboratories Kit and
Instrument Order Form (VS Form 4-12)”, which has been inadvertently
omitted from previous submissions. It adds 264 responses and 9
hours of burden to the information collection request.
