Short Statement:
This request for renewal is for 2,475,647 estimated responses and 1,518,339 estimated burden hours, reflecting a decrease of 7,796,523 responses and an increases of 203,603 hours from the previous submission. The number of respondents decreases from 275,622 to 273,587. Adjustments to Agency estimates includes 22 previous activities, consolidated into 4 new activities. Adjustments are also the result of the Application for the Use of More than One Official Device (States/business) being converted to an Official Identification Device Application (States/Business) (VS Form 1-64) which more accurately reflect current program usage. There was no change to the number of responses or hourly burden for this item; it is simply renamed, and the appropriate form assigned to it. The VS Form 1-64 replaced VS Form 1-63. Discontinued adjustments include the discontinuation of 10 activities, of which 3 were recordkeeping activities. These activities were previously included in anticipation of updates and changes to the regulations and General Standards (such as the evaluation of States and Tribes and the application of the State shield to official identification devices). Or, are no longer considered part of the ADT program (such as the collection of ID devices at slaughter), which is covered for each species under the appropriate program disease collection. As well, as, the use of the APHIS 435 R, the Program Site Tag Information Sheet, and the consolidation of a number of activities under more general headings.
