Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved information collection request. Overall, the total burden increased by 92,240 hours and the total number of responses increased by 105,487 responses. The number of respondents decreased from 4,072 to 1,320 as a result of improved accounting to remove redundancy. The activity formerly named Notarized Statement was renamed Operator’s Report to conform with actual regulatory language. Agency estimates increased as export activities increased, especially the 30 percent increase in the number of export health certificates processed as well as improved accounting of all relative items. Estimates are based on total responses and estimated number of respondents; all other calculations are functions of these two variables. There are no discretionary changes. Response times remained unchanged from the previous renewal.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $18,388,000
