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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Due to a combination of foreign countries not yet accepting these export health certificates and U.S. producers unfamiliar with the availability of the forms, there have been fewer numbers of requests received over the past 2 years compared to the program's estimated numbers from 3 years ago. Consequently, the program has decreased the expectant number of respondents and responses per respondent. As a result of the decrease in respondents and responses the burden hours decreased from 1500 to 100.
