Short Statement: This request for renewal is for 27,929 estimated responses and 18,514 estimated burden hours, reflecting an increases of 8,471 estimated responses and 8,470 burden from the previous renewal request. Adjustments are due to the increase in the total number of imports of beef and ovine meet from all three countries. This is due in part to a rebound in import of beef from Uruguay as well as more accurate accounting for overall numbers due to APHIS’ use of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to receive, track, and process required information for animal product imports. Numbers for identification and testing of select lambs have held steady as this is a set program.
