Short Statement: Information collection 0579-0148 is being merged into Information Collection 0579-0338. The VS Form 1-27 and Official Eartags will now be collected in this collection. The overall burden has decreased since the last renewal of this information collection. Over the past few years the number of enrolled herds in the VBJDCP has decreased by about half due to the incidence of disease is declining, we are shifting our program activities (not phasing out the program entirely) to education and support of State activities. Funding declines mean we will be shifting more responsibility for monitoring this disease to the States. This reduction of enrolled herds resulted in the development of fewer herd enrollment forms, risk assessments, and herd management plans: 2007 2010 Herd enrollments 8,550 4,275 Risk assessment dairy 6,050 2,010 Risk assessment beef 2,375 790 Further, the number of test reports and continuation sheets prepared dropped from 14,250 in 2007 to 7,125 in 2010. There was a slight increase (by one) in the numbers of annual and quarterly reports. The number of vaccinations given, owner-shipper statements prepared, and ear tags installed did not change from 2007 to 2010. There is an adjustment decreasing the number of respondents by -38,950 resulting in a decrease in the number of responses -38,120. There is a decrease of -29,263 total burden hours.
