This collection ensure that animal/poultry products imported into the U.S. do not introduce exotic animal diseases in the U.S.
US Code:
21 USC 117
Name of Law: Animal Industry Act of 1884
The estimated annual burden hours has increased. More regions and countries in the developing world are continuously entering the global arena of animal and animal product trade. However, the number of respondents has decreased because in the previous collection some of the respondents were counted more than once. In addition, APHIS adjusted the burden hours in several activities to more accurately reflect the estimated time required to complete the activity resulting in an adjusted increase of +261,254 hours.
