Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: In the previous collection there were 2,804 total respondents and in the current collection there are 2,105 total respondents; a decrease of 699 total respondents from the previous collection. There is an adjusted decrease in the number of respondents by -699; however, there is an increase of +1,712 responses resulting in an increase of + 786 total burden hours. This occurred despite a reduction in the number of respondents applying for licensing of garbage treatment facilities, largely because APHIS is counting garbage treatment facilities inspected more accurately. In 2007, State and private facilities were lumped together, whereas they are counted separately in the current collection.
