Short Statement: There is a decrease adjustment of -6200 respondents and -6200 responses resulting in a decrease of -3,100 burden hours. The drop results from a change in the use of the form. Starting in 2009, NVAP began a project that required all existing accredited veterinarians to submit the form to indicate their desire to remain accredited. The project caused a temporary increase in the number of respondents, although there was no change in the average number of accredited veterinarians, those applying for accreditation, or those renewing their accreditation. The project is now complete and the form will be used only for new applications for accreditation and renewals.
