Short Statement: This request for renewal is for 4,721 estimated responses and 4,722 estimated burden hours, reflecting an increase of 4,665 hours of estimated burden from the previous request. The number of respondents increasing from 24 to 1,178. During the time elapsed from the previous renewal of this collection, the United States had to suspend imports for poultry meat and products for disease reasons. The United States resumed importing poultry carcasses from the regulated Mexican States which has attributed to the increase for this renewal. (The United States still does not import poultry carcasses or products from Argentina.) VS, with CBP, has also implemented a new data collection system (ITD ACE) that allows accurate calculation of import data. The number of live birds and poultry entering the United States remained stable. In this renewal, the Annual IC Cost of the Burden has been included. The burden for multiple activities were combined or reported in one respondent type and has broken out in this renewal.
