US Code:
21 USC 117
Name of Law: Animal Industry Act of 1884
This request for renewal is for 1,156,728 estimated responses and 92,610 estimated burden hours, reflecting decreases of 259,347 estimated responses and 25,395 hours of estimated burden from the previous renewal request.
Adjustments to Agency estimates resulted in a decrease of 258,890 estimated responses and 24,940 estimated burden hours, mainly attributed to a decrease in the number of laboratory tests (VS 10-11) conducted during the last reporting period as well as a decrease in the number of approved laboratories conducting EIA testing (monthly summary reporting).
Discretionary program changes resulted in a decrease of 457 estimated responses and 455 estimated hours of burden. The EIA Supplemental Investigation estimated time per response was increased from 25 minutes to 30 minutes to more accurately reflect processing time; the change added 2 hours of burden. The estimated response time for Agreement for Approved Livestock Facility was slightly increased but the change did not alter the overall burden hour estimate. The activity âInspectionâ was determined to be performed by Agency employees internally and was removed from this information collection request, resulting in decreases of 457 estimated responses and 457 estimated burden hours.
