Short Statement: This request for renewal is for 2,258 estimated annual responses and 2,650 estimated annual burden hours, reflecting an increase of 693 responses and 604 burden hours from the previous renewal request. The number of respondents increasing from 289 to 442. Adjustments to the Agency estimates resulted in an increase in the number of reported events attended by the HIOs and USDA. In fiscal year 2019, there was an increase in the number of regulated events organized by the horse industry. However, in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic resulted in a dramatically reduced number of events and therefore were not utilized to calculate the estimate for this renewal since it would not accurately reflect the expected or typical burden.
