Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is an increase in total burden hours compared to the previous submission. This is primarily due to an adjustment in sample size for the July Catfish Production Survey and a two-year provision for the Florida Aquaculture Survey (previously only one year was requested for this survey). There are three program changes. The Catfish Feed Deliveries and Catfish Processing Surveys were discontinued due to budget sequestration in 2013. Also, a provision was added for conducting test interviews to improve questionnaires.
