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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease of -452 respondents and -458 responses resulting in -678 burden hours for this submission. In previous years, respondents were given the option to register electronically for PDS training courses by accessing AgLearn (the USDA Learning Management System) or by submitting a hard copy of VS Form 1-5 to PDS. However, it is now required that Federal and State personnel register for PDS training courses via AgLearn. Therefore, the number of hard copy submissions of VS Form 1-5 has decreased significantly, but remains available for non-governmental applicants and others who do not have Internet access. The large decrease in respondents which ultimately affects the annual responses and total burden hours is because of budget limitations. APHIS is not offering as many training sessions which impacts the number of respondents completing the Nomination Request Form. Also, the time for responses decreased from 1 hour to .333 hours per response because this is the first renewal of this information collection and APHIS has a better accounting for the time needed to complete the form; therefore, the time was adjusted to reflect this more accurate response time. This collection does not require recordkeeping which was accounted for in the previous collection. This entry has been removed and accounted for as an adjustment.
