The figures used in the previously approved collection were estimates of the imports expected as a result of the interim rule for SVC import restrictions. APHIS now has a better account for the number of respondents and number of responses being collected because of more accurate information provided from data systems. This has resulted in an adjusted decrease of the number of respondents from 12,010 to 462 and a decrease in the number of responses from 36,010 to 19,628 from the previous collection; thereby, causing the total burden hours to decrease by -4347.
There is a program change of +396 hours. The program change is due to the addition of the Customs Declaration for Import or In Transit Permit (VS Form 17-29), The Cleaning and Disinfection Certificate, and the 72-Hour Notification requirement. These items were inadvertently omitted in the previous submission.
