Overall, the total burden hours decreased 441 hours (-2,631 program change and +2,190 adjustment) and the total number of responses decreased 36,994 responses (-41,368 program change and +4,374 adjustment).

The following items were inadvertently not included in previous information collection submissions and have been added to this information collection for approval (program change/violation): • Annual Site Inspection of Inspection Facilities (+38 responses; +76 hours). • Certification to Carry Livestock (+8 responses; + 20 hours). • Inspection of Vessel Prior to Voyage (+ 10 responses; + 10 hours). • Aircraft Cleaning and Disinfection (+670 responses; + 168 hours). The burden of the following items has increased since the last submission of this information collection to more accurately reflect current use (adjustment): • VS Form 17-140 (+ 1,368 responses; + 684 hours). • VS Forms 17-140A and 17-140B (+ 3,000 responses; +1,500 hours). • Notarized Statement (+ 6 responses; +6 hours).
