This is a revision of a currently approved information collection request. Overall, the total burden increased by 92,240 hours and the total number of responses increased by 105,487 responses. The number of respondents decreased from 4,072 to 1,320 as a result of improved accounting to remove redundancy. The activity formerly named Notarized Statement was renamed Operatorâs Report to conform with actual regulatory language. Agency estimates increased as export activities increased, especially the 30 percent increase in the number of export health certificates processed as well as improved accounting of all relative items. Estimates are based on total responses and estimated number of respondents; all other calculations are functions of these two variables. There are no discretionary changes. Response times remained unchanged from the previous renewal.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
