Short Statement: APHIS is seeking approval of a revision of a currently approved information collection request. The currently approved burden for this request is 350 total annual respondents, 350 total annual responses, and 116 total annual burden hours. This request for a renewal is for 350 respondents, 350 estimated responses and 117 estimated burden hours. This request reflects an increase of 1 hour of estimated burden from the previous renewal request, most likely from a slight change in the equations used to calculate the amount from changing the format of the Form 71. There are no third-party disclosures. There are no changes in estimates or burden for this request for renewal apart from the slight increase in burden time, explained above. Change(s) in estimate due to Agency discretion include: Program change of +50 individual respondents resulting in a increase of +50 responses and +17 total burden hours. Change(s) in estimate due to adjustments in estimate include: There is adjustment of -50 business respondents resulting in a decrease of -50 responses and -16 total burden hours.
