Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden increased 890 total burden hours and 1306 responses due to both program changes (744 hours and 761 responses) and adjustments (146 hours and 545 responses). The Adjustments are due to more countries being considered to be affected with HPAI, the number of approved establishments increasing as more taxidermists apply for approval, and general adjustments in the amount of paperwork received. The Program Changes are a result of merging 0579-0367 into 0579-0245 and adding the VS 16-25 for better inspection of establishments handling restricted animal byproducts and other controlled materials.
