allow the importation, subject to certain conditions, of live
swine, pork, and pork products from certain regions.
US Code:
7 USC
8301 Name of Law: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002
This request for renewal is for
179,679 estimated annual responses and 179,712 estimated annual
burden hours, reflecting an increase of 120,720 responses and
120,716 burden hours from the previous renewal request. The number
of respondents increasing from 101 to 781. This renewal includes
program changes. The largest increases (highlighted) are for
imports of pork, pork products, and (to a much lesser extent) live
swine. These increases are due in some part to a reconciliation of
VS’ calculations of respondents and responses per respondent, but
in larger part to releases of restrictions on imports of pork and
pork products from a number of trading partners. The United States
saw increased imports of these products during the renewal period
for this collection. The respondent type for Application of Seal
activity is Foreign Government and is being corrected in this
renewal.
