Name of Law: Animal Health Protection Act of 2002
There is an adjustment decrease in the number of -14,400 respondents and -861 burden hours due to fewer surveys being distributed to producers and a downturn in the economy.
There is an adjustment of + 12,070 annual responses because not enough annual responses were accounted for due to a miscalculation in the number of annual responses for non-respondents in the last submission. APHIS has corrected that in this submission.
