Short Statement:
There is no program change. Adjustments in burden: 1) estimated times for HACCP plans and reports have decreased, so that hours for these two information collections are 5,150 hours less; 2) responses have increased for the other information collections, resulting in an increase of 224 hours. The net decrease in hours is 4,926. The increases in postage rates over the past three years account for the reporting/recordkeeping costs having been adjusted upward by $2,000 (rounded down to $1,999 in ROCIS).
