Short Statement:
APHIS is adjusting the burden to 1 hour placeholder because of the high volume of comments that were received during the comment period. These comments addressed a variety of issues, including the feasibility of implementing certain requirements. APHIS is now delaying the effective date of the interim rule indefinitely to provide APHIS with time to make some adjustments to the interim rule that are necessary for the rule to be successfully implemented.
