Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are changes to this information collection since the last renewal submission. A state cooperative agreement and an audit/review annual accomplishment report were erroneously omitted from previous renewals of this information collection and therefore, APHIS has accounted for them as a program change and violation, totaling 4 responses and 3 burden hours. There is a decrease in respondents from 53 to 1, a decrease in total burden hours from 1,399 to 243, and a decrease in the number of responses from 17 to 7 due to lower participation of States (only one State) submitting petitions for this program, and updated figures for the hours per response in this information collection which now more accurately reflect this program. Adjustments totaled -14 responses and -1,159 burden hours.
