Short Statement: Information collections 0579-0070 and 0579-0161 are being merged into Information Collection 0579-0137. There is a program change of +20 respondents, +25 annual responses, and +9 hours of burden by adding the Herd Plan to this collection. With the addition of recordkeeping, there is a program change of +50 responses increasing the burden by +2 hours. The total program change from the previous submission is an increase of +75 responses and +11 burden hours. There is an adjustment by including VS Form 1-27, Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, the Owner/Shipper Statement; the Accredited Veterinarians Statement Concerning Embryos for Implementation and Semen Shipments; the Swine Production Movement Health Plans; and the Interstate Movement Report which were accounted for in information collections 0579-0070 and 0579-0161. By including the previous approved responses and burden from these collections to collection 0137, there is an adjustment of +25,600 responses and +4125 total burden hours. With industry expansion and changes in production practices, more swine are being produced and moved interstate, requiring an increased use of all forms associated with this collection - these changes have been accounted for as adjustments. There is an increase of +90,555 responses and +25,699 total burden hours. With the removal of the VS Forms 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, and the Cooperative Agreement, there was a decrease in the number of responses by -25 resulting in an adjustment of -10 hours of burden. Overall, these adjusted annual responses = 116,130 [25,600 + 90,555 - 25]; the adjusted total burden hours = 29,184 [4,125 + 25,699 - 10]
