Short Statement:
APHIS is seeking an extension of a currently approved information collection request. The currently approved burden for this request is 79 total annual respondents, 5,792 total annual responses and 1,159 total annual burden hours. This request for renewal is for 77 respondents, 390 total estimated annual responses and 78 estimated annual burden hours. The requests reflect a decrease of 1 respondent, a decrease in 5,402 estimated responses and a decrease in 1,081 hours of estimated burden from the previous renewal request. There are no third-party disclosure burden estimates. There are no changes due to Agency Discretion. Changes in estimate due to adjustments in estimate include: • Import Certificates for Used Farm Equipment reflects a decrease in:1 respondent, 5,402 estimated responses, 1,081 hours of estimated burden. This decrease reduces the estimated costs to the government by approximately 83%. APHIS Veterinary Services (VS) has improved its collection of data since implementing the “APHIS Core Message Set” in ACE in 2021. Importers/brokers must specifically declare used farm equipment in detail to APHIS which was not previously available, resulting in overestimating the burden. This change has resulted in a decrease in the number of respondents, responses and hours detailed above. (Reference 2020-21289 (85 FR 60756).
