This information collection enables
APHIS to document the movement history of an animal throughout its
life. Knowing where diseased and at-risk animals are -- as well as
where they have been and when -- is indispensable during an
emergency response and for ongoing disease programs.

2,475,647 estimated responses and 1,518,339 estimated burden hours,

203,603 hours from the previous submission. The number of

4 new activities. Adjustments are also the result of the
Application for the Use of More than One Official Device

Device Application (States/Business) (VS Form 1-64) which more
accurately reflect current program usage. There was no change to
the number of responses or hourly burden for this item; it is
simply renamed, and the appropriate form assigned to it. The VS
Form 1-64 replaced VS Form 1-63. Discontinued adjustments include
the discontinuation of 10 activities, of which 3 were recordkeeping
activities. These activities were previously included in
anticipation of updates and changes to the regulations and General
Standards (such as the evaluation of States and Tribes and the
application of the State shield to official identification
devices). Or, are no longer considered part of the ADT program
(such as the collection of ID devices at slaughter), which is
covered for each species under the appropriate program disease
collection. As well, as, the use of the APHIS 435 R, the Program
Site Tag Information Sheet, and the consolidation of a number of
activities under more general headings.
