Short Statement: NASS had several program changes that impacted the target population and total respondent burden for this renewal docket. Some of the operations that were not, State inspected plants in the previous approval have become State inspected facilities. Some of the small monthly operations were moved into the quarterly response group to reduce respondent burden. Some operations went out of business and were dropped from the survey. In the previous approval NASS did not include response burden for the publicity materials that were sent out to the quarterly and annual respondents. An adjustment has been made to the total burden to allow for the newly adjusted samples.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $800,000
