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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program increase of +894 responses resulting in an increase of +730 total burden hours. This increase is due to the addition of the following activities being added to this information collection which were omitted from the previous submission and is be being counted as a violation by APHIS: (1) Certificate for Table Eggs, (2) Government Seals, (3) Veterinary Health Certificate, (4) Notice of Arrival, and (5) Notice of Transfer. There is an adjustment of decrease of -707 respondents; however, there is an increase of +944 responses and +261 total burden hour. The adjustments are due to more countries being considered to be affected with HPAI (and consequently more findings and more reports of the disease), the number of approved establishments increasing as more taxidermists apply for approval, and general adjustments in the amount of paperwork received.
