Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This renewal shows a program change of +54 burden hours. After careful review of the APHIS 71 from the last submission, APHIS determined that some of the addition was incorrect in the burden calculations. In addition, APHIS also determined that the burden for the SF LLL was added into the totals for the last renewal. APHIS is fully aware that no burden figures for SF forms should be added into the burden totals of information collections. The addition error has now be corrected, and the burden for the SF LLL form has now been subtracted from the new burden totals. Both errors were administrative, and there were no other changes to the burden in this information collection.
