Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase of +9,000 respondents (from 33,000 in the last submission to 42,000 in this renewal), 44,850 annual responses (from 133,652 to 178,502), and 19,416 hours (from 66,266 to 85,682). The increase in the number of respondents and responses was caused by market forces promoting increased exports. However, APHIS has also recalculated the time required to complete Form VS 16-4, reducing the time per response from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. This resulted in reduced burden of 28,560 hours (84,000 minus 55,440). This was changed after APHIS interviewed the respondents about the time needed to complete the form. In total, therefore, there is a decrease of -9,144 hours (66,266 minus 57,122).
