Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: In the previous renewal package there were 2,105 respondents, and in this current collection there are 2,110 respondents; an adjusted increase of 5 respondents from the previous collection. The minor increase in respondents also caused an increase of 176 responses, and an increase of 9 burden hours, as reflected in the chart above. This slight change occurred because five garbage treatment facilities were added to the program in the past two years. APHIS also continues to improve at counting inspected garbage treatment facilities more accurately.
