Short Statement: This request for renewal is for 179,679 estimated annual responses and 179,712 estimated annual burden hours, reflecting an increase of 120,720 responses and 120,716 burden hours from the previous renewal request. The number of respondents increasing from 101 to 781. This renewal includes program changes. The largest increases (highlighted) are for imports of pork, pork products, and (to a much lesser extent) live swine. These increases are due in some part to a reconciliation of VS’ calculations of respondents and responses per respondent, but in larger part to releases of restrictions on imports of pork and pork products from a number of trading partners. The United States saw increased imports of these products during the renewal period for this collection. The respondent type for Application of Seal activity is Foreign Government and is being corrected in this renewal.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $15,981,913
